Garage floor makeover

[westcobbdog]

Any way to clear out the center and put a hand rail from where the end of the foosball table is to exit door? If you run a rail from their door to the corner, that would only leave a 3-4 ft. area they didn't have something to hold them up and if you wanted you could put a rail hinged to the wall with a hasp on the floor rail that whoever need to travel from one side of the garage to the other would have a gate.

Good suggestion but for now they have good mobility. I would say the escapability factor is rather high, too.

Cleaned and painted floor first.
Then installed these thick plastic tiles.
Nearly finished, custom cuts aren't fun.

Wife ordered from Amazon. Can't ask her exactly where right now but a google result using " pvc plastic garage floor interlocking tiles" had a lot of results, the exact tile was under "Big Floors Diamond Durable Interlocking" and these tiles appear to be sold at Walmart and Home Depot. After being stumped for awhile on the correct install technique we watched a video of the flooring being installed with a foot stomping motion. It's really tight once snapped together and shows you where it's not with small raised seams. I used a rubber mallet and flat head screw driver mostly.

That looks great Buddy should serve you well. I think they have plates to cover the gap around the pole. Will keep debris from building up in it. Good job !!!

Good luck. Aging parents is like having a newborn back in your life..tough. Few other things that seems to minimize injuries: no throw rugs & pets laying around. Walk in showers + motion detected lights in bathrooms cut down on falls.

yeah my father in law is retired military and 94. He's already cornered me once while installing the garage floor tiles scolding me for having stuff everywhere in the garage ( tried to explain its not the norm) with him basically saying all garage projects need to go through him, but that " he will work with me" and stuff that. Tryied my best not to lol. Put a padlock on my man cave door as he is a forager.

Following. We’re about to re-coat our carport floor. I’m interested in the non slip information.

Watching.

My carport will need a facelift in the next few years.

Anything except bare concrete. I want something that can be cleaned or moped.
