Very nice. The checker floor is sweet.
Good thing you took pics. It won't ever be that clean again.
Lift is "To Be Installed"?

I like it, but in Michigan the snow and salt would quickly turn that floor grey...

You should have chosen large marble tiles; high gloss showroom style.

Awesome job. I'm about to start a very similar project in my garage. Hope you don't mind if I steal some of your ideas.

I wish I could use those tiles in my garage, but the builders put some sort of lip near the door for water drainage and the tiles won't sit flat

The premium ones can cost upwards of $5 per square foot. I think these were around $1.80 per square foot (

you should put down a power strip on the workbench and get rid of that unsightly dangling mess
Tripp-Lite makes nice ones....$40 for a 48" 12 outlet strip

Nah. We get snow and ice here in Maryland, too, and once I sweep and mop my Race Deck floor, it looks as good as new.
I don't have white, but my red, black and grey shows the salt and other chemicals just as much, or more, as white.
