You could be right. The internet is the only reason I'm down about paint. Biggest pain is just moving all of the stuff out. I'm cleaning everything out to install baseboard trim and figured what better time to address the floor.

@BigGarage Did the paint hold up well for you?

Yes, the room is walled in. I hate to do some kind of Vinyl just in case I change up the office setup. I know the sheet stuff is inexpensive, but the plank is not. I have been meaning to do something for a year...I'm starting to consider epoxy. Seems like its the only thing people are...

I have not purchased anything yet. I can try a sample, but it looks like the original sealer is pretty splotchy where it has come up. Some spots look like bare concrete and others still have the shine of the sealer. I'm not sure if I can find out what it was sealed with. I'm guessing some kind...

That is what I am asking. I have read it needs to be removed. But I wanted to check before going through the trouble.

Hello, I am painting a 16x16 office area of my garage. The concrete had a sealer applied 3-4 years ago. No vehicles in this area, just walking and rolling a chair/stool. Do I just do a chemical stripper? The area is going to be a bit of a pain because I don't have anywhere to push water out...

Yes, people run grey-water to drains so all that water is not going into the septic system. I'm not sure its any different from washing your car, does that water go through treatment? Same with washing the dog, pressure washing your house, etc. Soapy dirty water going everywhere lol. Not to...

For those of you still with me, I found the second drain on lunch today...it went under a root and I missed it on my initial pass there. Guess I felt the shovel hit the root and not pipe. The second drain has 3" pipe coming out of the building for maybe 5", and then they reduced it down to 2"...

This is nice. I will look into them. Really wish I would have opted to have my gutters piped off too.

Hopefully two drains. Go through concrete, down and out of building underground. Need to be extended and ran to daylight or drywell.

I made a mistake. The FLOOR drain does drain out. Its the drain in the wall that goes down into the floor that does not. i assumed they were the same. So its either a broke/clog between them, or there is another drain I don’t know about

Think its sch40. Would that have been crushed? I seen the pipe intact coming out at the building. I did not dig “under” though. Are you saying I can dig as far as I can and see if I see a break? guess the “fix” will be to patch the floor drain. And then drill a hole through the brick foundation...

I think I have some terrible news. Got the drain extended and was testing and no water is coming out the drain pipe. im guessing that means theres a pipe break under the cement? Contractor will come look, but how do you even fix that. So upset about that. With everything under the cement, idk...

I found it. Bought a pair of titanium Dowsing rods, and within 5 minutes I had my pipe.. I'm kidding, Sorry. The electrical snake helped me locate roughly where the end of the pipe was by feeling where it turned and marking that with tape. I then measured those marks to figure roughly where it...

I doubt I’ll see disturbances. The ground was smoothed over when we had grass planted. the pipe must be deep if it does indeed run out from the building. I can’t find a soft/wet spot anywhere. Snake and key finder come in tomorrow. I’ll try those and update. Hopefully that at least helps me...
