Unsolicited. I mixed several types of Racedeck and am very happy. Before and after pictures. A year later I don't know why I waited so long.

What I did is use Race Deck Freeflow in the areas that my classics drip and underneath put a commercially available tarpaper like cloth that absorbs 25 times its weight of oil spill. Previously I had used baking sheets lined with the same absorbent cloth. It has been a couple of months and it...

Wow! Way too long since I've updated. So, the project has come to a mostly successful conclusion. The first attempt to mount the hoist resulted in having to reinforce the tho short arms that attached to the steel building beam which had too much flex. Initially I thought I would move the...

I am interested in what you did for your elevator. I recognize the HF hoist, and as you can see in my post (the Enginooity one), I'm using it to lift my loft stairs, but want it to do double duty as a freight elevator for my loft. Thanks in advance.

I ran into the same problem when I built my garage loft stairs. I found treads at about $15 each at Lowes and because I didn't need the full width was able to cut them in half and make one good for two treads. That's why in the picture below every other one has the yellow safety stripe. They...

It's been a while so here's the update. The floor is cut away so the stairs are moved to give me the room I need to get a car in that bay. The cut out acts as a guide as the stairs get pulled up. A steel bracket under the top stair helps hold the stairs in place, and a bolt through the stair...

Here's just a practical thought. The product comes with four tiles together-a 2'X2' square. Using a 1'X1' design (ie single tile square) would involve taking the tiles apart to put them back together again. In a space this size, using the four tile 2'X2' blocks as they are shipped is more...

It's a matter of personal preference, of course. Here are a few things I took into consideration. If you have stains, oil spills, tire marks, small surface cracks, or water issues from rain or melting snow (usually shedding from your vehicle) prep for epoxy is more extensive to get the...

Thanks, that's really cool! I don't know if it will work in my situation because I'm trying to park a car in that bay and stiil be able to get up and down the stairs. Mine currently pivots at the top like yours does but I don't have a second level over that bay so when up it's just in mid air...

Cliff notes version I have a 12'6" ladder (100 lbs) that I'd like to lift out of the way. Not happy with current set up (Previous pictures) Questions Is locating an electric hoist on I beam 8' above ladder as shown workable? If hook was located 16' below I beam at angle shown and then...

I need the wisdom of the group regarding a stairway problem. My garage is 20' x 40', 2 cars wide and 2 cars deep with 2 single front doors and 1 double back door to a service alley which is not paved. Above the front 20 x 20 there is a loft space fully floored 10 '8" above ground level and...

Hi Christine I'm in College Station (central Texas). Epoxy-Coat hasn't made it to the Lowe's closest to me, is there any location within driving distance? Thanks, Bruce
