    That's the same thing I see plastered all over the downtown "Honest Bob's Used Car Superstore" banners:rolleyes:

    Could use some quick level headed car related input from my friends here

    I would guess there is a 99% chance the GM was just telling you what you want to hear. The next call will be something like "Good news, I talked with the service guys and everything is fixable so you won't have to deal with this ever again!" Wouldn't be the first time someone at a dealership lied.

    How to install porcelain tile on top of in-floor scissor lift platforms?

    What about making a tile "cover"...something you can remove when you need to use the lift but looks like tile the rest of the time?

    New Garage Floor - No Vapor Barrier!

    Was a vapor barrier in the included quote for the re-pour? Sounds to me like it's the contractors problem. Yes, it's a big problem and of course he is going to say they "never" install a VB since they forgot on this one. They also know full well it could be years before any problems show up as a...

    I like the looks for the black tiles with white grout but in the garage, I have a feeling it would be ALL black in short order.

    It's 2 AM ... do you know where your garage door is?

    I have that same device, came with my garage door opener. I would give it a C-. It works from time to time but loses the signal a lot (alternating green/red) and it's not far from transmitter. Once I get off my **** and program the controller, I already installed a magnetic switch that I'll...

    Air Compressor?

    That Morgan is refurbished....makes even less sense about the warranty to me because usually the whole point of "refurbished" is its as good as new and they usually give the same warranty as new to entice the sale.

    Proper Terminology "hot water heater"

    Is your name Allen?:) I only ask because the engineer I mentored under early in my career, that was one of his biggest pet peeves. Any time someone would say it, he would just ask "if the water is hot, why does it need to be heated?" Always made me chuckle.

    Voice your opinion to Sears

    You can add some of the HVAC unions here in California under the "lazy" category too...on a job we just wrapped up, we would laugh at the union guys who would stand right outside the gate to the job site (which was open) until exactly 7:30am. Then, and this is the best part, they would take 1...
