I agree with you there. I see what appears to be the same thing at the two Sears(one on each side of town) here. It's been like that for a while, but they seem to survive. I can't say I know the cause, or the solution, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them die out. Of course I see similar...

I buy most of my tools from the truck. Last year I spent over 10K with the Mac guy and I'll probably have spent close to that by the end of this year too. I've been a diesel tech for almost 10 years now and I do have craftsman wrenches and sockets that hold up just fine for the most part...

Lithium batteries are best stored with a partial charge. They don't self discharge like other types(or if they do, very slowly). I'm not sure about lithium ion specifically but I do know that with lithium polymer cells, discharging them below a certain voltage will shorten the life of the...

I love the look, the price is a bit of a deterrent. It's not for everyone but if you have the cash why not? I figure it will cost me a little over 1K to tile my garage. That's more within my budget LOL.

I should be ashamed of myself? For asking a question about tiling my garage in the (gasp) flooring section of a garage forum? I don't think I can respond to that in any way but to laugh at you profusely. I will have fun thank you, and it won't be too difficult.

qft;)

Hi guys, didn't see the intro forum, so I'll do it a few posts late. Name's Bill, I'm originally from Windsor, WI, currently live in Waunakee, WI, where I just moved back about a month ago after spending 7 months in Las Vegas. In the next few weeks I'll be moving to Deerfield, WI where I...

I like the idea but I've been working out of a box for so long, I immediately know if something is missing. A board would add clutter to the wall IMO, but that's just my opinion as it would pertain to my personal garage. For a shop type of environment it would work great, other than not being...

That's about all I needed to know. Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions:) The Laticrete, I assume that's a latex additive? I've read elsewhere that it's a good idea to add a latex additive to the thinset.

I've used a plasma cutter extensively in the past and the advice given is spot on, I just want to stress safety and eye protection. The sunburn thing is no lie... but if you're only doing a tiny section you may not have to worry about that too much. Have fun, you just might want to buy one...

If you're referring to this one: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=168233 That's an old, painted and chipped slab. I already read it, but it doesn't much apply to me. I read this thread as well: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=159133 And no specific...

I did some searching and didn't find the exact answers to my questions. If I would have, I wouldn't have posted. But thank you for the non-help Mr. Forum Policeman.

About to move into my new home. Completed build was in June of 2012. I've decided to go with a tile floor in the garage. It's 22x20. A few simple questions... What prep if any is needed for the floor besides cleaning and degreasing? PEI 5 an absolute requirement for a garage? This won't...
