I thought it might be taken that way but I usually get genuine questions and many are looking for ideas and answers. Like the tiles. I swept the floor and put them together like a puzzle. Each bay took about 2 hours and was around $500 US. Try that with real tile or paint. Paint takes weeks and doesn't even look as good.

The lift, fell in my lap, so to speak Many thanks to the friend that hooked me up with one of those situations that I just couldn't pass up. Cost me less than half of retail and the deal included the tiles under it.

I'm usually the guy others look down their noses at. To hear I'm showboating might be a bit true on hindsight but after decades of seeing scores of others doing it I figure it's about time this dog had his day.

To the other positive remarks, many thanks. Hearing that from fellow petrol heads means a lot.
