The Evolution

2/7/2015

I knew I was going to make the most of our double garage when we decided to build our house, but I had no idea it would evolve the way it has. I get a kick out of looking back over the years and seeing each step in the evolution. Here's a pic of the garage while the house was under construction and one from a few months ago.

Absolutely stunning garage. If I may ask, what product did you use for your garage floor? It appears to be some sort of foam "connective" tile but I cant find anything on the internet similar to it. Your blog is also very informative, Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the internet community.

Hi Rod, the flooring tiles you see are manufactured by a company called SnapLock Industries under the RaceDeck brand name. These tiles are part of the FreeFlow line. They are made of durable plastic. I go into more detail on my "Flooring" page of the site. They are the most popular company when it comes to modular flooring systems in garages. I love it.

A few years ago, a Quickjack representative reached out to me because I had mentioned on this blog that I was looking for some sort of lift system. We corresponded back and forth and I ended up receiving a sweetheart deal on a QuickJack BL-5000 SLX lift system. I immediately fell in love with it. I sent the team at Ranger Products a variety of photos of the lift in action in my garage and they have featured them in various online ads, including the US and Canada Costco websites.

The team at Auto Shield Canada has been extremely supportive of me and my detailing pursuits. They have provided me with samples of their graphene coating and even gone to the lengths of helping me apply it on a friend's 2008 RS4. I look forward to watching this company make deeper inroads into the market with their high quality coatings.

The team at Lithium Auto Care has been highly supportive of me and my detailing hobby by sending me a number of samples in exchange for my feedback. I have been very impressed with the products I have tried and I have been even more impressed by the quality of service they have provided me.

Extra Tough is a highly effective and versatile all-purpose cleaner. The team at Extra Tough sent me two complimentary gallons of this cleaner and I have used it in a variety of jobs around the garage.
