    All, it appears this video has hit a bunch of suggested feeds. A couple of answers to commonly asked questions: "What about the dirt?" I'm telling you. Dirt is a non-event. Think about this logically. The tile is 3/4" of an inch thick. How much dirt would you need to dump on your floor to get that much dirt build up? I vacuum my floors once every few years. "Epoxy, paint, etc is much better." I wish it was. Outside of $12+ sq. ft. porcelain tile, this is the most practical and viable solution for a garage. I've chased this harder than 99.999% of people on the planet. "I work on my cars. What about oil." I do too. The once a year that you spill some transmission oil on the floor, get some paper towels, pop tile up, wipe...done in 30 seconds. All you need to know is here:

    Isn't that stuff hard to clean and gets lots of dirt trapped underneath it?

    Nice floor but the way you keep measuring the edge pieces takes too long, especially if it's a large area. Take two tiles, place one on top of the other and lay them directly over the last tile before the wall. Now slide the top tile towards the wall. The exposed piece on the bottom tile is the piece you need to cut out. That way if the wall is on a slight angle, it will transfer onto the bottom tile. Use a white wax marker. No measuring. This method is for all tiled flooring. Also, instead of cutting around the garage door metal track, place a tile against it and mark the height of the tile on the track. Now cut the track so the tile slides under it. Like when you cut the door jamb and casing to fit a ceramic tile, wood floor etc. I use a metal blade in my Dremel tool. Works slick.

    Dude loves to talk. Pretty sure I saw dads ears bleeding.

    Wait a minute, those things are going to trap all kinds of dirt, bugs, small pieces of things you might be working on, etc. Seems like a terrible product for a garage.

    Matt would Swisstrax his house and use a Kranzle for a shower if he was allowed.

    Since when did a place to park a car and store junk become a room for pretty boys and their toys?

    You need to Lay This Out before you start a DYI Video.

    I can't tell you how relieved I was to see you added a piece at the base of the garage door track. The full sense of completion was great to see in a project like this. Well done my man

    Good video, back to basics. Got it in my 4 car garage, love it. Clean up with a Leaf blower, works fine.

    its always a pleasure to watch your videos. The outcome of your dad's garage is awesome. Someday I will mine just like it. Definitely I will buy from you.

    LMAO, I was laughing at the first part of the video where it seemed as if your father had absolutely no patience with the video process itself and he just started working as you were trying to explain what you were "about" to do. 🤣

    Excellent video! Great looking floor. Most informative that I’ve seen for this type of flooring. Thank you

    That tidbit of information that the waste amount is the same whether butted up to one side or centered for aesthetics. That was worth the price of admission. Thanks for the video.

    Hi Matt, I just installed mine recently and for the sides I find it easier and more precise if you:

    We used a different, similar product on the floor of our garage in our small hone in northern Michigan. What we achieved was not just a great, no fabulous garage, but an additional room on a house that really needed it. Its a great investment as are baths and kitchens.

    Great video. I just ordered approximately 800 sq/ft of Ribtrax from the OG Store during the Black Friday sale. This video hopefully helped me somewhat prepared for the install once the tiles get delivered.
