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.
