This is a great product for homeowners who really appreciate a clean and mess free environment.  Everyone knows that the space in the garage can be one of the dirtiest areas of the home.  This can be especially so if you live in a place where it snows and/or is very rainy.

During the course of a typical day slush, grime, motor oil, mud and various other particles of debris from roads and highways are tracked into your garage.  Every time your car rolls inside it brings these things with it.

Over time it builds up into a giant pool of filth and usually gets tracked into the interior of your home via foot traffic.

The Park Smart Heavy Duty 50-mil Clean Park 7.5 ft. x 22 ft. Garage Mat seeks to eliminate this problem.  By purchasing this product you can effectively keep all of your walk areas dry and clean.  It serves as a “floor mat” for your garage space.

A convenient feature about this particular garage mat is that is is made from highly durable 50-mil vinyl so you can depend on it lasting a long time.

Additionally, it comes with raised plastic edges on the outside which serves to hold all water, oil and other liquids from spreading onto the garage surface.

The uniquely engineered Snap-On edges can take a lot of use and is very easy to install, without the aid of tools.  This product comes complete with 24 in. long Snap-On side pieces and 18 in. long Snap-On end pieces.  A one year warranty is offered with the Part Smart Heavy Duty Garage Mat so please retain your receipt should you need to exchange it or return it.

He is probably just going to call Overland Door.  Like I said in a previous post they are in every city you can imagine.  Stanly garage door used to be around but I do not know what happened to it.  They just disappeared.  Maybe they couldn’t compete.  I don’t know.

He was pricing garage doors the other day.  He is going to spend at least $1000 on one if its going to be quality.  I told him that since he was going to have to get a new door he might as well make it a custom garage door.  The one I am talking about looks like the garage door in the picture when it is not one door but two and the swing open instead of coming down on a chain.

Speaking of garage door opener parts I am still waiting for most of you all to get back to me about the poll I asked on which brand was the best.  I have gotten some e-mails but not many.  Do you like Stanly?  Do you like Overhead?  Do you like Genie?  This is what I am trying to figure out.

Many of you have wasted space in your garage.  You can make it like a bar, a sports lounge or whatever.  Whoever said a garage had to be boring.  If you have one car you can have your car on one side and then on the other have a mini bar with a television.  Its a dream come true.  You can have a HD TV sitting up there and go out into the garage to watch the game.

There are so many garage door opener parts you can buy for your place. Choose wisely.  Do not go for the universal parts.  They will not work as advertised.  Get the exact parts and fittings you need from them.
