    I know, I know.... I have a few unfinished projects that I need to finish like the e36 M3, e46 M3, 335d and soon I'll be starting on a e30 M3. I promise, I have some videos coming soon for these cars including e90 335d gets new f80 m3 seats. The e46 M3 gets a manual swap with a special guest. The 335d gets a makeover for Mpact and more.

      @@quintengould1075 for a shot I'm not sure that makes much sense, for road salt it might be fine, but when you're talking about dropping brake fluid, gas, oil, coolant, brake cleaner, carb cleaner, refrigerant. These are pretty violent chemicals and will eat away at the paint.

      @@JamiesGarage1 I just had Tuff-Seal tiles put in my garage from Advanta flooring and can't recommend them enough. They're crazy durable and have just enough give so standing or laying on the floor isn't as hard on your back. They're solid rubber and meant to have forklifts driven over them, water tight, can get them in a ton of colors and you can actually work on them unlike swisstraks which are pretty much all for looks.
      As far as cabinets goes, a buddy of mine had Moduline cabinets put in his garage and those things are sweet. It's almost like having one big continuous snapon tool box they're that nice.

    In regards to ideas for the garage, I'd recommend learning from Charles's (Humble Mechanic) "mistake" with his flooring; he went with a certain type of flake on his floor, which has made it rather difficult for him to recover small (off colour) nuts and bolts that have been dropped on the floor as they've become really hard to see on the flake pattern. He's probably already told you this in person, but just to be on the safe side.

    • @JamiesGarage1

      I actually talked to Charles about this very thing before. That’s why I don’t use flakes at my shop. 👍🏻

    For flooring I highly recommend getting tuff-seal tiles from Advanta flooring. They're solid rubber tiles meant for driving forklifts over, meaning you can actually work on them unlike racedecks/swisstraks. So just as durable as the concrete floor but has a little give making standing or laying on the floor a bit more pleasant.

    As for power, solar battery and also think of using your pool as a heatsink. This will save you money when used with a heat exchanger to HVAC the workshop and offices. Combined with the Solar power battery system you can save thousands and with the right systems even have free electricity.
    I designed a special two tier workspace that wrapped around a two post lift. It had stairs and two places for workbench on each level with a built in oil, water, diff/gearbox oil dispensers and built in drains for oil and other stuff. Also full lighting meant my team could work faster and smarter and not have to have the car go up 'n down all the time.
