    As much as I hate shoveling, sometimes ya just gotta do it. That shovel has made all the difference.

    And the snowblower seems to think otherwise on replacing the carb. First start of the season: Flipped the fuel lever on, heard the carb fill, and it started on the second pull as if to say "New carb? Nay nay!"

    Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?

    The following post represents two years of procrastinating, several thousand dollars and nearly 8 hours of fitting. I'm just a little exhausted, so excuse me if I become incoherent!

    I looked into various floor options for my garage, including other similar interlocking tiles, but what gave the Swisstrax the win was the ease of installation, time of installation and the fact I could do it myself and maintain control of the job. The choice of Swisstrax was a mere formality in the end.

    Before -



    During -















    DONE!! -















    Have I mentioned that I have a thing for red cars?





    With the help of my father, I basically worked non-stop for 8 hours today to get this done. To say I am pleased with the outcome would be an understatement. That said, I am so tired that I don't fully understand or appreciate what we achieved today! I still have a few hours relocating various bits and pieces, but the big job is done!

    Now, which car to detail on it first.........

    Awesome DFB garage look's killer! When cutting them with the drop saw did you have to change over the blade, or was the one used for cutting wood fine.

    Get some rest

    You need what they call fine tooth blade/s. I changed the OE blade with this Diablo item -



    If I was to do it again, I would get a blade with 90+ teeth. I was having a little trouble here and there with the saw shattering corners of the tile, although that was mainly when I was trying to cut an inch off or so. Surprisingly, a utility knife cuts these pretty nicely where required.

    Thanks!

    Ha ha, my legs and hips are still recovering after that effort.

    But yes, paint and lighting are now being thought about.
