WOW PNW ~ that is awesome! Do you need to get city permits for something like that? I love how shiny your floor is - talk about a gloss finish May I ask what kind of ballpark number that would cost to do? I would love to do that (pending if I had enough land one day) to actually build something like that - do you use the roof as a picnic area? I was just thinking how cool it would be to have a fireman style pole so you can slide into the garage level and take off in your m3 in record time! rick

Can someone enlighten me on how RaceDeck floors handle pooled water when one brings in a car from heavy rain or snow? I understand the water would go under the floor, but is there some sort of drainage channel or system? Seems to me that the water would take forever to evaporate under there unless it was blown out with a leaf blower or a master blaster.
On my regular concrete floor, I can sweep or shovel the water out (after alot of melted snow or slush), but I wonder how one handles this on RaceDeck or even Epoxy. Thanks.

PNWM3, I really like your garage addition! You wouldn't happen to have some info (Manufacturer and model) on those wood garage doors would you? I am thinking of changing out my garage doors and I really like yours. Thanks!

They have some standard wood designs but they will build anything you want. We provided them sketches from our architect and then they built them exactly how we wanted them. They are mahogany with seeded glass. Doors, hardware, installation, essentially everything ran about $6k per door. It's probably about 25% to 30% less if you go with a standard design. |

I finally closed on my house with the 4 car garage 4 days ago. Both M3s are finally inside again after 1 year of being garageless. It will be a few weeks/months before the garage is the way I want it, but in the time being it's nice having the cars inside where they belong (when not being driven). Pics will follow in a few weeks when the boxes get unpacked.

Good looking garages.
I think I want to epoxy my floor rather then doing Racedeck. Racedeck looks cool but I actually wrench on my vehicles and I get oil on the ground frequently. Seems like there is potential for oil to get through the cracks and wedges of the Racedeck tiles. I do not want oil standing under the Racedeck for years and years. yuck.

If you are going to do epoxy and really want it to hold up, you really have to properly clean and prep the concrete, and use a proper two part epoxy. I used an inferior epoxy product before the race deck, and it didn't hold up too well to tire heat and winter salt. The heat/salt combo is particularly bad. Then, you can't just repatch that one area, as it really won't up at all. Once the epoxy coating is compromised in one area, it really starts to fall apart.
