Yup, that is sure a pretty garage. Funny thing, definitely different strokes for different folks, I prefer my man-cave that is stuffed with parts, tools and its dirty floors, this one definitely looks very surgically clean but I would be afraid to work there....and I swing a wrench quite a bit.

Quite nice though!

Cheers,

Mike

... will it repel oil and other liquids well enough?

I put down interlocking tiles on the floor of my garage. If you damage one you just replace the tile. Plus, you can take them with you if you move. The only thing I don't like is they expand in the summer when it gets warmer.

Hey Frank,
you have to be on top of it, oil will stain if not wiped up within 24 to 48 hours. Tires dont seem to be a problem tho.
