    Odors getting into suite above shop

    I will never build a suite above a shop, or live in a hose over a sho for that exact reason. They are bad news period. It is almost impossible to isolate the top from the shop fumes. You might have a chance if you seal up the suite and install an air system that will maintain positive pressure...

    concrete dying

    They can put colored powder broadcast onto the wet concrete surface when they power trowel it, and in most cases it is also a hardener too. The problem with that is if you damage the floor in the future the color is only a skim coat on the surface and you will see the grey concrete under it...

    Garage cabinets

    Well in Alberta we only have the GST and no additional sales tax like some other provinces. And I don't believe that you don't pay sales taxes in most places in the US either. Maybe a few more $ in taxes would fund an affordable accessible healthcare system for you :headscrat

    Garage cabinets

    Look at the deal I scored :) Garage cabinets with drawers for under my work bench. They are 5 drawer units and from what I could find this was a smokin deal. This is in Canada remember for some reason our prices can be higher than the US but even still I think this was incredibly cheap...
