Remember Glenn (wife is Darla)? From WA State? Can't recall his screen name. He had a fab garage with a lift in it. Haven't heard from him in ages!!

Yah, he definitely had one of those "mine is better than yours" garages. Actually, I have four friends who have lifts in their garages. If I remember right, I could have got in on a deal just last year for a lift for $2500, as I recall. In fact, we had British car club event last fall putting one together for a guy who already had "two". One was for work and the others were to get cars up and out of the way. He had LOTS of old British iron.

Local New England guy Erick/elmmx5( he is attending SF07 this year) has a lift in his garage. It was one of the first "house mods" he did. You can tell he's a single guy.

[QUOTE=raymo19,Jan 30 2008, 01:31 PM]^ Stain is the way to go unless your interested in form over function. The best thing about it is it doesn't affect the finish of the concrete - you don't have to worry about the floor being slippery when wet.

Here's a pic from our poolhouse. The floor is stained and we used painters tape to make the floor look like tile. Five years and counting.

[QUOTE=Kyras,Feb 1 2008, 12:03 PM] I like the checkboard look for someone else, but it makes my head spin.

I don't worry about the garage floor being wet. Remember the song? It Never Rains in Southern California. Well, except for the last few weeks, when we got more rain in a weekend than we did in the entire previous year. But that's not saying much, relative to you back easterners, since we only had about 3" in the prior year.
yep i think we'll get that much this afternoon and evening.
at leas the ice in the driveway is melting.
