I see you have gravel outside the gravel entrance and I find warm tyres will often pick them up (and even when the car has been standing on gravel for a while) and get carried into the garage.

 

I presume you have chosen tiles that will be resistant to scratching from stone pick-up, particularly if you have to alter the angle going in/out of the garage? 

Ha hah, no, I chose them because they were cheap

Those tiles actually look the same as I put in the family bathroom when I did that 8 years back. Porcelain ones from B&Q if I remember correctly. I used black grout though. Looks very nice, although I thought stuff like trolley jacks etc and all the mechanical work I do in the garage would soon chip/damage them.

Yeah they are porcelain and as I said above they're not really practical for a garage when you intend to work on the car. My skills are in construction rather than mechanical engineering so they're perfect for my needs making the garage easy to keep clean :)

Following on from completion of my garage extension project and in the spirit of Chris's (Keyser) marvellous mechanical engineering threads which I know we are all in awe of ...

 

 

... I'm proposing a couple of smaller construction projects for you to follow if you're interested ...

 

Project A involves the construction of a porch at my back door (oo'errr missus)

 

The porch project commenced today ... photos to follow
