Youe cracks in the floor are called expansion joints....they do that so the concrete cracks right there and prevents cracks in the rest of the floor!if you look in the seams you will see that the concrete is cracked...if you plan on filling them use something that will move with the concrete...

even with the tiles you are going to want to fill in the joints so that would be a good place to start.

all we had at the warehouse was carpet type tile. its pretty cool for an office building or library or something like that  but does not work in a garage that you are planning to do work in.

my sister put the carpet type in her garage but it was more of a hangout area than a workshop.

anyway i will keep my eyes and ears open. as they finish jobs i will see what they have left over.

you uptown fancy guys with all your concrete.  Sheesh.   Out here in BFE all we have is dirt held down with years of oil spills. Since we dont have a fancy concrete base to work with, we replaced all of our roll around stuff (pickers, tool boxes, etc) with bigger wheels. That way they roll easy over dead snakes, bugs, rocks, dirt, shoes, feet, cig butts, empty .45 shells, and used condoms.

Maybe you could save some buks on all this fancy floor work (heck, we DREAM about working on concrete where I live) and just go BIG on the tires on your stuff. Harbor freight has replacements cheap that work fine.

Not throwing darts, just saying all that talk about cracks can be solved another way.

Haha your funny oldmx....honestly i would lay down some garage floor epoxy and fill the joints and be done with it...i believe a 5 gallon bucket covers almost 500 sq ft since most garages are 20 x 24...i believe the cost is about 80 bucks a bucket...ask that cougar of a land lord if she'll halfzies with you...it seems as though she has worked with you before...on the other hand if you give her some round eye love she'll pay for the whole shebangs.....

LOL! He aint lyin'! I found and picked up OC2Vegas's engine in Old MX's hood in pretty similar conditions,  ;)

Brought my cherry picker along and it took 4 guys to even get it close, then we swung it to the side so I could back under it (Denting my truck on the way)

The expansion joints can be filled with an elasometric compound. In the concrete aisle at HD. I can get you the SKU in the morning. Dig out what you can of the fiberboard expansion joint, push in some backer rod, and fill it with the stuff. Do NOT fill it with mortar or whatever, it needs to expand and contract. Also, any tile, i don't care if it's vinyl or not, seam it at those joints and use the same material on the joint over the expansion joint. Have done it and seen it done and it lasts forever. Best way to do it is start the tile process AT the seams. If the middle ends up an odd measurement, time for a custom collage or something. Also be careful of your stemwall. If you're gonna tile up that, leave some room for expansion/contraction, cut the tile short and use the same material at the top and bottom.  ;)
