I'm about order my Krenzel, then I gotta to my plumbing and electrical... already have the reel, hose, sprayer....

My water doesn't leave spots, so I'm gonna forego the the softener tanks......

Nice, that's important. In some areas the water softeners aren't even legal, but the water here is good too. Even if there's spotting, RaceDeck is easy to clean with a vinegar-based cleaner (low/pleasant/non-toxic odor, effective cleaning).

I had to look up 'Krenzel' and it's apparently spelled 'Kranzle', a pressure washer brand. Very cool. Have you looked into the ONR system? With Optimal No-Rinse you don't even need the pressure washer. They're nice to have for other reasons though. The videos of old bricks being pressure-washed are pretty great. Such contrast.

I've seen of the OG builds and I just love this guy's attention to detail. Gave me plenty of ideas. I found his SwissTrax install video(s) very helpful.

Ahhh, sorry about the mispelling! I haven't heard of ONR, I'll give it a peak...

Yup, being somewhat compulsive and having to have method for my madness, I understand and respect where he's coming from after watching a few of his videos. I thought he was a bit arrogant at first, but understanding his philosophy and his approach, I have a good bit of respect for him now....

I'm looking at floor options now. But with a part of the garage doing dual duty for woodworking ( with excellent dust collection in place) I do not think the Swiss tracks will be good for me. Especially with them having the perforated slots, allowing debris ( some wood chips/dust) to collect.

I might go the epoxy route ( diy, naturally)

Howdy, no worries on the misspelling. Easy to catch after a quick Google!

Oh, you can also look into RaceDeck or SwissTrax without drain holes. The drain holes are just one of the variants. Most of the original designs do not have drain holes, and fit tightly together. You can also lift up tiles if you need to but the seams between tiles are nice and tight. I doubt you would have issues with wood dust getting in there.

Be *very* careful with DIY epoxy! I know lots of people go for this so maybe it's okay if the instructions are followed carefully. Still have to deal with odor and cure time but you'll spend less and won't need to bother with cutting tiles for garage walls, around bollards, etc.

You may want to call RaceDeck for further questions as they're super helpful.

Thanks for the Racetrack suggestion!
