HI guys - i ripped out all the tape/mud and re-did everything with the fiber mesh tape (fibafuse max) and durabond 90. I sanded everything down with 80 grit and used the durabond under/over the tape. was a pain to sand when dry but has held up well.

well guys I am preparing to recoat the floor this fall. Ive had some small areas that failed where I used rustoleum epoxy patch and it has held up well. I will post some more pictures soon to show the current state. Looking back, I wish I would have used an industrial epoxy primer/vapor...

OK checking in way late on this but I have no cracking at all a few years later

Good morn I coated my floor about 10 years ago and its time for a new coating to go down. The original coating has held up pretty well, just very faded over time, and has expected minor damages. I have been repairing/patching everything and preparing for re-coating in the spring. My plan is...

Thank you for your tips. I am going to rough up the seams with 80 grit, load with durabond 90 and use fibafuse max Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I did have this idea as well. Considered using strips of 1/4 cellular pvc or strips of white FRP. Would drill holes through material (on either side of seam) and use white pan head screw to fasten. The drill hole in material would be bigger than screw shaft to allow for movement and pan head...

Thx for tips. Any mud better than another? I did sheet rock all the rest of walls myself and it’s doing fine. As far as the rest of the ceiling tape, will cut it all out and redo with the ways u guys mention and the fiber mesh stuff (which I have used before). Sent from my iPhone using The...

Hi guys the drywall tape on my ceiling is cracking and falling off. There is attic space above and I have drop down steps to get up there for storage of seasonal stuff. I am going to repair it but any suggestions on how to go about so it won’t happen again? The ceiling was not taped/painted...

My home built in 1984 had vinyl replacement windows installed in 1992 - By a now out of business manufacturer (patriot). Most of the sashes have broken seals and need replacement. Frames, balances, etc otherwise are pretty much fine. I am interested in replacing just the sashes if that is an...

Ok guys. Well it’s been a while, almost 7 years, and the floor has held up well. 2-3 years ago I had a couple small “bumps” form in a few spots. I wasn’t sure what they were - air or water bubbles so took a utility knife to them sliced through and out came water. This seemed to be during...

One of my torsion springs busted out of the blue this week. I watched some vids on replacing them. One suggested getting new ones in both sides and a bit longer which will translate to more force helping open the door.

Good thread. I bought a home with a regular tank WH with natural gas. It's from 1996 tho! Starting to make plans to replace it. So based on these suggestions since I have gas service I should go on demand ? Will start some research .

Back from the dead, how is this holding up? Thx
