Wawa and Scrapple, pretty much sums up Philly burbs :)

Thank you :beer: I'm kind of OCD w/ tidy wiring so this media rack somewhat bothers me. I keep telling myself it's just the garage, leave it be, but I want to tidy it up even more. I'm lucky to have the ability to simply mount on the other side of the media wall and not have to worry about...

Chaddsford is right down the road. I have family there and am there often. The faucet is a Woodford 22. Details @ http://www.woodfordmfg.com/woodford/Wall_Faucet_Pages/Model-22.html You can get it horizontal or vertical, copper or pex termination, 1/2" or 3/4", and various lengths to account...

Tips: * Remember to account for male and female edging * Lay down weed barrier first. Without it the floor was a a bit 'clicky' in certain spots. I think this was due to my floors peaks and valleys. The weed barrier helped a lot and also gave a uniform base for seeing through the free flow tiles...

Overall: My Story I had high hopes for the Race Deck. When I first saw it many years ago it was one of those 'I gotta have it' items for me. When we moved into our new home 2 years ago I had always planned on doing the floor but it wasn't until I really evaluated the poor state of the concrete...

Pics first. Original state from when we settled After walls finished and floor prepped with True Lock B4 RaceDeck installed

It's a few weeks from delivery but the hot and cold line will terminate at this faucet. It's pricey but having hot water at the outside faucet will allow me to wash the dog, fill the kiddie pool to comfortable temp, and wash cars in the winter.

Started adding some beer art I have laying around. Found some time to get some electric and plumbing done as well. Hot and cold water lines added to Pex Manifold. I did my whole house in this stuff, it's a great product. Cleaned up the media rack too. On the other side of this wall is a...

RaceDeck buying tip: Figure out if you will need male and/or female edging and order accordingly. Seems silly in hindsight but I ordered edging for 3 sides of my floor. I only ordered based on linear foot and didn't account for male/female. 2 of the sides were female and the third is male. I'm...

dubber, I thought you'd approve :p123 Let me ask you a question: do you find that the pictures show more delineation between the alloy and graphite than in real life? I really like the pictures I took but in person I find it very fuzzy between the Alloy and Graphite, almost to the point that I...

I started w/ the angle grinder. My pneumatic wasn't cutting it (zing) so I went to my Makita electric. I dont' think I had the correct cutting wheel (masonry one maybe?) so while it was cutting it, it was slow and messy. I switched to my trusty sawzall and it cut like butter. Hardest part was...

Here's what I mean by multi purpose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Weed barrier underlayment. This did help a good deal w/ the 'clicking' noises and added benefit was the visual enhancement of a solid black through floor. For $25 you can't go wrong laying this stuff down. Finished product. I'm still not sold on the Graphite. It's growing on me but I may opt...

I'm not sure how I feel about the graphite center. My initial impressions are, meh. I'll hold final judgement until the entire floor is done. It looks better in the pictures. You see clear boundaries between it and the Alloy. In person it's kind of a fuzzy line and not pronounced. I'm leaning...

Here's a before shot from applying the B4 treatment. I applied it with a roller. I dumped out puddles and spread it around. I did 2 passes one after another. After sitting for a few hours most of it was dry but some puddles remained in low spots. I spread em out with a leaf blower and it all...
