which part? or both

Hey guys, Had the orginal plan to epoxy my race shop floor almost 3 years ago, bought everything needed including clear coat but got mad busy and never got time. Now i want to install it and was wondering if my epoxy is still ok? temps can be below freezing and it was kept in an unheated garage...

Help, I had a 30x48 slab, 5in thick poured approx. 3 months ago. Then approx 2 months ago I cut control joints every 10 ft by 12 ft, 1 inch deep. Previous to the cutting their were no cracks of any kind. Just the other day I went to check on it and noticed that on one end of the building(the end...

It is typically laid in pvc conduit around 1 inch with at least 3 extra string runners incase something needs pulled later. Get your phone line from phone company, get coax rg59 from electrical warehouse or cable guy. Just put it far enough down to feel comfortable 12-20 inches typical. When...

Your insurace company may not like the exposed styrofoam since it's flammable...just a thought. The BEST way I've found is to stud out the wall with 2x6's on 2' centers HORIZONTALLY...then use 6" fiberglass batts between the studs...cover with a medium weight plastic then paneling or...

Yes, I see both sides and along with asking you guys, I have been talking to other contractors in the area. Their opinions vary both ways also and with what I noticed as the modern day carpenters really lean on water to cure, the older contractors say they've poured thousands without water with...

Let me get this right: 1.All concrete should have control joints in place 2. The cuts should be approx 25% of slab thickness 3. Every 12-15 ft is sufficient. Ok hears the questions: 1. I have a concrete saw, what blade do I need for 3 day old concrete? 2. Is 3 day old concrete to late to cut...

Yea, I understand. It is what it is, there isnt a whole lot I can do about it. I live in a small town where everyone knows everyone else. This gentleman is very well liked and has poured half the concrete in town. He wouldnt do this on purpose and if I were to contact him, I'm sure he would do...

well I put what seemed like a ton of water on it, it seemed to absorb it really quick. I would wet it good, it would start to dry in like 10 min, so I would wet it again. This went on for about a hour. I then covered it with plastic and sealed everything up. Whats my chances of it curing...

pour was sat morning, can I still do something about it or not

he just hosed it, I asked and he said it dont need covered or continually watered. So I dont know, he was the man with 46 yrs expereince who does ALOT of work in this area and was probably the most highly touted individual to do the job, plus he came in cheaper so...... No, it just looks like...

here are a few

here they are, cant see real good up close but....

I just went and looked at it again and you can see where the power trowel kinda slung some of it around and onto the polished part. Could it be sheen water that he didnt let soak back in and he attempted to trowel it but then stopped. It has left a sort of finish like in the corners where the...

If I remember right, it was the last place standing in water. What does that mean? I put a little sand paper to it and it seems to crumble off and gets fairly smooth. It is a little rougher than the rest though. It just looks like a big white powdery spot in the middle of the dark black polished...
