What's in my ceiling, an x-files mystery apparently, lol. TBH, I'm really not sure. This is a town home, so somewhere above the garage there is a wall that separates my living room from my neighbors. I really like the idea of running romex to the ceiling, penetrating there to a surface box then...

That's a really good idea. So in that case, the romex would come through the back of a surface box(through the drywall) and connect via wire nuts to the #6 individual wires?

Hey guys, I need to run 220 a short distance from my in garage/wall breaker box to my water heater. Thoughts on the best way to do this that will look ok and not trip up a home inspector? Although we're only talking a few feet, I don't want to run it through the wall because 1)I've never done it...

Not at all. In my experience, aluminum is just about the easiest stuff in the world to work with. Assuming you're not welding that is. I taped all the edges before routing, maybe that helped. But in general, smooth, clean lines. I wish I had an extra panel or something to give you a better idea...

Lol, yeah, If I drove something cooler than a Honda Ridgeline maybe!

I did not use liquid nails, I used solvent based contact cement, much as you'd use when doing any other type of veneering. Specifically, I cut the hardboard panels to size after all the door frames were build and semi-finished. After I had the ready-cut hardboard panels, I cut a piece of...

Thanks! Red stripes are 8" above 36" of black Hey Kevin. The cabinet door panels were my favorite part of the build. You're right, they are aluminum. But aluminum thick enough for a panel on 12 doors would have been too expensive. So, what I did was buy aluminum flashing at Home Depot...and...

Appreciate all the compliments!

Well, I really just wanted to come here and show off my months of hard work :evil:. To be honest, when I first got the the idea in my head, all I had planned on doing was clearing things out... Laying down some epoxy... And calling it a day. However, as my search lead me to the great...

ahh...makes sense!

Well, I thought about that...but would you really want to top coat over a chip that's not bonded to the base coat? Sounds like a recipe for failure to me.

I was planning on using an electric blower, but out of curiosity, why not gas? Didn't really think of a squeegee + blower combo thanks! I'll probably go with that.

Haha, I bet your HOA loves you! Looks great though, I'm jealous!

Looks awesome! It's easy to get carried away on those flooring designers. I like yours, simple border and solid fill!

Hello all, Just curious what everyone would recommend for removal of un-adhered chips/flakes in between the epoxy and finish coats. In my mind, not all the flakes are going to stick, one would think that you'd want to remove those before top-coating. Thought about a simple broom, but don't like...
