I’m not sure. It might be just a water proofing of some sort. It doesn’t seem to scratch off. It’s not perfect but has held up better than the epoxy. We had a fork lift leak oil once. It left a stain that soaked in.

If you have nice concrete I’d stay with that. There’s lots of options. At work it used to be epoxy. Layers and layers. We had a flooring crew that just did the floors. Now they pay a company to come in and grind floors and just put clear down. The floors hold up so much better. Our halls are...

Whatever you want but my advice is don’t spend money trying to dry it. You either have a corner to dry or sell it green. It’s going to shrink and twist. That would be fine for me but most guys want kiln dried anymore. I stack boards in the barn to dry. I gave a board to a friend and he turned...

Looks like it’s made to lift off? Must not have been used much. You can probably unscrew that grease zerc off. That will give you a hole to spray into. I would bang it with a hammer also!

If it were mine I’d just fill with stone. Looks like a nice old building.

I keep an old power Kraft up in the barn set up. Handy to rip with. I keep a thin kerf blade on it. The old saws are built like tanks but the motors are usually small. I think mines 3/4hp and it’s just barely enough.

I’ll echo the cut it up 3ft all around. Put something more weather resistant on bottom and get some good paint on it. Would look great!

Nope no insulation. It does have a closed ceiling and the old wood siding is covered with vinyl. I can keep it warm but when it gets under 30deg outside it’s a struggle to keep warm.

I’d have the whole drive top coated. It will be cheaper and faster and look nice. Concrete is awesome but also expensive.

I put new seals across bottoms also. The old ones were smashed flat and hard as plastic!

I have been dragging my feet on these old doors for years. This is just a game room and hobby area. Many projects seems to happen here all times of year. Last winter was wreath making for the ffa. The garage doors are on the west side and take all the weather. They’re probably 30yr old budget...

It was a cardboard barrel. I didn’t buy it.

Looks like it should shine up nice. My fear is it’s cardboard but I don’t think so.

Here you go

I’m going to pick up an old marathon grease barrel 120Lbs. The barrel is smooth and has no ribs. I’ve never noticed a grease drum with no ribs. I’m planning to use it for a trash can. Any idea on vintage? It’s the newer M logo so I’m guessing newer than 1961.
