My garage floor needed attention. Its light taupe sealer coat was peeling and, aside from the fact that it looked bad, my shoes were tracking the loose bits of paint into my house. Definitely not a good thing.
The thought of having the floor sandblasted to get all the paint off and then having to clean a fine coat of dust off of everything afterward, not to mention resealing it, made me shudder. I knew I had to find an alternative. Thanks to the Internet, I did.
GarageTrac™ inter-locking floor tiles simply click into place when you step on them. When I asked the company representative, on the phone, what tools are required to do the job and she said, “Feet!” it took me a second to reply, “Would you please hold on while I get my credit card?” (Note: I have no connection to this company.)
The tiles come in several colors and styles, and using more than one hue can create a pattern. I chose the solid graphite.
The actual installation was, literally, a snap. You put them down and step on them – sort of like Flamenco dancing without the castanets. Tap, tap, snap, snap and they’re in. The only tricky part was cutting a few of the edging tiles to make them fit around the raised water heater platform which required a jigsaw. 
With the help of my housekeepers, the entire floor was installed in a couple of hours.
Now, my garage floor doesn’t peel, it won’t require future maintenance and it looks really cool. Definitely all good things.

If we do, the boxes and our homes will look more elegant and cohesive. Sigh… just thinking about it brings tears of joy to my eyes. Would you mind passing the you-know-whats?
