There are three ways to get rid of water - evaporation, gravity and a pump. You should have corrected grade before applying epoxy. Now it is too late to solve the issue with gravity. You could direct some air towards the low spot to help it evaporate quicker, or you could use some kind of small...

Correct me if I am wrong, but this would only work if MVER is less than 3lb / 1000sq ft / 24hrs. Otherwise some kind of primer is required. Here is a test with same or next day delivery https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0078KMKCG/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I would recommend using spiked shoes to inspect your work for holidays after you finish rolling if you are going with solid color. With no flakes the holidays are very visible and with one color coat you get only one chance to get rid of them.

You'll be fine with polyurea in low temperatures. If anything, it will not skin in your paint tray. But you have to be careful with any epoxy, including primers. Legacy sells cold weather primer. I used summer primer (ordered my kit in July, decluttering took longer than expected) in winter and...

If you are planning on grinding dry, damp (not wet) concrete would not hurt. I think you could grind the same day you power wash.

If you want 1-part polyurea next week, you need to order now. It ships ground due to being hazardous cargo and will take up to a week to get to you, excluding any lead time. For the temperatures, I would check the slab temperature and not the air temperature. Once you lay the coating down, it...

When I was about 16yo, I got a broken electric shocker that I was attempting to repair. I've replaced one of the caps, and it was still not working. Touched the cap or some other exposed wire and fell off the chair, pulling the shocker and hot soldering iron on top of me. Luckily I did not get...

Bigger pulley makes motor run slower, increasing charge time for run capacitor on PSC motor. Capacitors charge over time and discharge almost immediately.

What kind of devices are you connecting to ethernet and where do they get power? Could you power media convertor or switch from the same source?

The only thing you could easily replace on these is valve stem gasket. If you are trying to lube the ball, you could do that through in/out openings, no need to disassemble the valve.

Check out Netgear GS105PE. It is PoE-powered 5-port switch with PoE pass-through. It could take 802.2at and pass-through 802.2af with proper power negotiation and everything. I am using two of these.

You could buy battery adapters for most brands. All 18 and 20v batteries are actually 18v nominal. I use DeWalt 20V MAX batteries with DeWalt and Ryobi tools. There are adapters out there for Makita and others. Settle on a single battery platform and buy adapters for multiple tool brands. As for...

Fiber is not expensive these days. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YWK8C4X/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Fiber is nonconductive, unless it is for direct burial with tracer wire, that must be grounded.

Many houses used to be wired with shared neutral to save on copper. Most AFCI breakers don't like such wiring. The only exceptions that comes to mind are GE-manufactured AFCI breakers.

Warm humid air, cooler ground and conduit. Water will eventually condensate. With no other place to go and not enough air movement for evaporation it will get wet.
