    Killer installation! What a huge transformation and yeah... the concrete footers are a challenge and you evened them out, that electric planer did an awesome job... also that resaw on the job site saw. Glad to see you back and that's the way to get back into the groove... It sometimes takes going back to a clean slate for a new beginning both in life and in the shop... it's both a metaphor and a physical reality.

    While we typically wouldn't put floating vinyl in a workshop space, I can definitely appreciate your approach to learning. Best way to learn is to test it! Something to keep in mind for anyone else looking to do something similar is to double check that your product is rated for slab install or rated as truly waterproof and not just "water resistant."

    I have these same exact vinyl plank flooring from the same company in all my bedrooms in my home. It’s been 3 years and they have held up wonderfully. Very durable and if there are any visible scratches that develop, as long as they aren’t big gouges, they can be easily smoothed out with your fingernail.

  • @DogHairDontCare

    I did vinyl planks for my dog's room. it had concrete slab just like your garage. I would always recommend to measure width of the room before laying; chances are you will want to cut your first row that you lay so that the final row might not end up being a sliver of width. Looks like it worked out fine for you :)

    Glad you’re back. Cool project and sharp looking results. I have two durability questions regarding vinyl plank in a garage/shop for you or anyone else who has done this. 1. How well does the planking hold up to concentrated weight created by heavy tools on feet/rollers? 2. How does planking stand up to a parked vehicle, especially to twisting force of tires turning with steering movement?

    One thing alot of people are not told is that even though it's waterproof vinyl plank, you still need to put down 6 mill plastic underneath when you're installing on a concrete subfloor. What happens if you don't is the floor will start cupping. Other that that good job ! I've been installing for 21 yr , and my family 46 by the way.

    Welcome back Glen! We sure missed you.
    I like the look of that floor. It completely transforms the space; I wouldn't even know that it's a garage if it weren't for the door.
    The paint was a good choice, too, though you'll need to do cleaning or touch up on it more often than a darker color. White walls diffuse the light in a room, making it more even and getting rid of harsh shadows. That's particularly important in a shop, where you need to see what you're doing with dangerous sharp tools.

    I am installing a small bathroom floor and this helped me so much. I will be following up with you as you add things. Your floor turned out beautiful, I hope mine will.

    Thanks for showing how you handled the inconsistent walls, like having to shave off part of the the baseboards. Nice to see you back and hope things are going well.

    I love your work and you have a God-given talent. You are very neat, thorough and have an for beauty with seemless transitions from floor to ceiling. I pray I can get someone like you to do my home someday.

    Thanks for this brother. I've been trying to determine which is better vinyl or laminate. I like the floating and no need for underlayment because I have concrete base throughout my home. I also love vinyl because it can get wet without getting warped.
