Deal of the 'Day'- Garage Flooring - 1 day only

[RaceDeck]

We just got word from one of our larger customers, Costco... about a 1 day sale they are having...thought some of you who are looking for a crazy good deal would be interested on this inside line.

MotoFloor will be on sale Tuesday, January 26th on Costco.com's Deal of the Day. This is a one day promo. MotoFloor will be $30 off per box. go to http://www.costco.com and search for MotoFloor

As most of you know we also manufacture flooring for a few international companies like Costco and Harley-Davidson.

JUST finishing my new garage, was thinking about my flooring options, I better check this out quick! Thanks for the tip.

LOOKS like it comes in a box of 48 1 ft X 1 ft pieces. Which is enough to cover how many sq ft? Choice of colors, circle pattern on each piece, near as I can figure...

Just a wild guess but I'd go for 48 Sq. Ft..

Explains a lot about liberals and economics.

[Excaliber]

Hmmm, that is some complicated math all right.

Figure $90 bucks, 50 sq ft (ball park) times x number required, maybe I should do the living room floor while I'm at it? I don't really care for that hard wood floor anyway and what if I want to overhaul my motor, from the couch...

I have this in my garage. Great stuff as far as I'm concerned and way cheaper than buying it direct from RaceDeck (although a little more limited in styles and colors).

[Ralphy]

How would you do the math on that?

[Excaliber]

...those 1's always trip me up, that and those pesky zero's.

Ernie,

That Race Deck is what I have in my garage in the red and white pattern. It has stood up well for the past 12 years.

There is a nice little graph /worksheet on the box and on the site for you

[Excaliber]

Do these tiles stand up well under stress like jacking up the car with a floor jack? Concern would be the wheels of the jack "biting" into and damaging the surface of a tile?

[Ron61]

Ernie,

You saw mine and I have been jacking cars up on that lift and just jacking them up since I put it in and never had a place show in the tile, I did replace one once that I dropped my propane torch on and it melted a place before I could get it off. But that only took abut 45 seconds as it was at the very edge. Just popped that tile out and put in a new one. I have also used jack stands on mine with no visible damage. And No, I don't get anything for telling you this.

Sounds great, but what I get at Costco.com is $119.99 per box plus shipping.
What happened to the deal of the day? It is still Tuesday up here!
Of course, shipping to Alaska is a deal killer once again.

What's Costco's "regular" price??

[Excaliber]

Costco dot com may not reflect an "in store" one day only price reduction. I'm heading off to the store shortly to check this out. I figure if it's "around" $30 off then 119-30 would be about the right price. I'll still need a bunch of boxes of the stuff so it's not "cheap" no matter how you figure the cost. PLUS better add what looks like at least another $70 for "edging". I'll need to seal the floor before I can even begin laying anything down as well.

...counting the cost, considering my options.

The price we pay to live in paradise

Hey, that used to be MY line before I moved from Hawaii. I remember the awful shipping prices, it's not what something cost, it's what it cost to SHIP IT that's the deal killer all to often.

[undy]

I just called the local Costco and they don't even carry the flooring?? I've never seen it there in the past either.

[Ron61]

Ernie,

Depending on how your ramp up to the front of the garage is built, you man not need much of the edging. I think I used about 20' of it in my garage across the front door but my slab is even with the floor. If you have a 2 X 4 across the front of your shed that thee ramp goes up to, you may not need edging along that part.

Wow, it is showing it as raining right now and the sun is out and it is in the 50s. I thought that might make Ernie want to see his Cobra again.

Just got back shopping, decided to pass on the flooring for now, even with the reduced cost. I just got to much stuff going on. I came back with a truck load of bagged cement, hoe's, wheel barrow, rebar, underground PVC and wiring. Whew, I already got a full plate. Looks like some serious ditch digging comin' up next.

I must be getting old, lifting those 80 lb bags of cement kicked my butt hard by the time I got the truck loaded.

[Ron61]

Well the wiring should be easy but I am not so sure about digging the trench. I ran into that hard pan we have here and it took forever it seemed to gain a foot. I finally got some form nail and drove them into the hard pan and then pried sideways until a chunk of it would break. Should have waited for the rains because it turns to mush then. As for the cement it was always a chore as those bags gain weight with every one that you lift. And it is dead weight too.

I'm hiring a local college guy to give me a hand. Plus the ground is about as soft as it's going to get right now, so best get on with it.

The hardware guy said go down 6" for the gate/driveway part of the cement project. I said what if I get tired at 4"?
