Collected my floor from flexi tile on Thursday and managed to get a couple of hours today to start laying it. Got all the main floor laid - tomorrow / Monday I'll get to work with the jigsaw and table saw and start trimming the side pieces down.
Very impressed so far. Handy enough worked with - just a rubber mallet and a bit of patience. I know it'll be a different story tomorrow though!

Garage is pretty much finished, save for a bit of organising, setting up and letting my OCD kick in to get all shelves laid out.
I ended up using a table saw to trim edges etc. Would have been an absolute ball-ache trying to trim it down without it.
Shelving and work bench came from Amazon. Really easy to set up. Used a few spare tiles I had left over to put on the work bench.
If I was doing it again, I'd have put some self levelling on the garage floor. Thought it was really even and level. It's not bad, but annoying me a bit now I've laid the floor.
In going to grab a couple of better pictures with shelving etc. As I started tidying it last night after uploading the pics here, but here is one of the shelves from Amazon.

whole floor (200 ft2) including edging was around £500.
@ O.C.D. they're the exact same as gTechniq which are getting rave reviews across the pond, so I'm selling plenty of them too - probably need to market them a bit more like they do too!

That's some garage, looks huge
Do mind me asking how much the fibre reinforced concrete cost compared with normal?Phase 1 of the concrete pour alongside the garage today. Tomorrow is the floor pour with fibre re-enforced concrete. At bloody last.

@weeloaney I'll ask for a proper price tomorrow, he said today there was only a few pounds in it per meter over a standard high strength mix.
@G N K Its an extension of an existing 6mx6m garage and joining it onto the gable of the house making an extra 9mx6m as it was the cheapest way to do it. Can't wait to start fitting it out.

@weeloaney works out about £8 extra / cubic metre because they use a smaller stone when they use the fibre in the mix. The lads working it said it was much easier worked too with the smaller stone. Looks well.
