Hehe sure. They're Dogue de Bordeaux puppies (aka French Mastiff, aka Turner & Hooch). Their names are Jake & Emily and they're about 5 months old. Emily will probably be 100-120lbs and Jake will be 160+.

Scott, I was disappointed with the Armstrong tile. The car and motorcycle tires stain the white tiles, regardless if you use the recommended wax or not. I'm presently using carpet squares until I come up with a better solution.

Hmm thanks for the opinion. Let me know what you come up with. I suppose Racedeck is still possible but its about $3/sf...

Scott have you looked into kiwitile? I am using the diamond tile in black and white pattern in my garage. At ~$3.50 for a 13.1"x13.1" tile I figure I can always replace a few of the white ones if they turn yellow over time.

http://www.kiwitile.com

Hope this helps.

Yea Kiwi is essentially the same as Racedeck. Problem is I have +1200sf of flooring to do, which at $3.50/tile would be over $4,000... yikes. Guess its not so much in the big picture, but still...

I guess I have to figure something out soon though...

I think that if I had my garage to do over again, I would have the concrete stained and sealed!
