+infinity! This stuff is the absolute best method I've found. Any bug that comes in contact with it is dead within 24 hours. But it's completely safe. You can also buy it at Home Depot or Lowes, Wal-mart, etc. A big bag is enough to last for years, because the stuff never expires or loses...

One thing I'll say is that if your pattern is too busy it makes it harder to find fasteners and other small items when you drop them, and harder to see fluid drips and puddles.

If the connection is being made inside the fixture, as it sounds like you plan to do, I don't believe you need an electrical box to run the Romex through. Nevertheless, it would be a good idea to contact your city or county building office and ask them. You absolutely must use a cable clamp to...

Hi, first post. I'm planning to cover my garage floor with Racedeck soon, and I've read a number of posts talking about the floor being noisy. My floor is unfinished concrete right now. What would be an effective material to apply before laying the Racedeck? One thing I thought of is roofing...
