So I was looking at this post as I am about to endeavor on the same project. I saw this and was concerned but looks like the "Neutral" wire is really being used as a ground. There is no ground incoming so I am assuming he is usually the neutral as the ground and also assuming it's wired up...

I have been looking at lifts for some time now and recently came across the Nussbaum Jumbo sissor lifts. It seems perfect for my set up which is a garage bay which will be used to park vehicles when not lifting them. The only thing not-so-perfect is the price tag. I found a local lift company...

So i was considering the rapidaire filter. Are you indicating you use both? Isnt Rapidair regulator a filter as well? Thanks!

Fair enough. Agree i can skip the lubricator however I havent seen much in terms of recommendations of actual filters. Is an Air Filter and Dryer the same? Any thoughts on brands, etc.?

All: I am a home weekend warrior and am setting up 1/2 inch Maxline in my garage. Run will likely go 20 ft, then T off and go another 20-30 feet in either direction. I plan to install a filter/dryer/lubricator right after the compressor (I am sure some my say that' s not enough run); however...

Got it. Will do--- I would have installed my floor eons ago but I dread the prep work! I can't find a local company to do it for me either.

Sorry to take so long to read the responses -- I don't believe I have a planetary grinder available for rent in my area. We have a decent amount of rental houses around but none are offered. The only options I have are a single disc grinder, a dual disc grinder, and a floor buffer with...

So on 1100 sq ft, did you give thought on renting the double disc edco? or was it available. I have about the same (4 car garage) and this is the part I dread the most. I can rent the edco you had or an edco with 2 discs (6 "grinders") for like 160ish.

1) Thanks. I am using these from the rental company. I think they may be diamabursh but not sure: https://artsrental.com/products/diamond-grinding-dots-for-floor-grinder-6-each 1a) Thanks for the article. I've just read it and very helpful re: the flexible stuff. I think i found my product...

So I was looking at undertaking a garage project to epoxy my floors (finally after a year of research). I have a 4 car with a decent amount to do...plus have an area between house foundation and garage floor on edges which need filled. My question is two part: 1) I've watched a lot of videos...

You're probably best to use the expansion joints as a "natural seam" and just use tape/paper/plastic combination to protect the side not being coated.

Indeed small world...next township over...Pierce. Yea, I checked with Gorilla - they wanted like $7k for 1200 sq ft, every other quote was between 6k-8k. One company came in decent; however, not transparent on product (Firm Foundations / ZG Shield). Thanks for info tho~

Thanks for this Shea. Definitely changed my mind. These guys have great references but I dont know if i can trust the installer. The installer came in at a low price, I contacted for spec sheets and got no answer. I then went to corporate ZG Shield out of Lima Ohio, asked him for spec sheet...

Todd - also from Cincy/East Side. Did you investigate any of the Epoxy/Polyurea dealers here in town? I am at a loss as Gorilla Garage, Garage Kings, etc all want me to make me take out a 2nd mortgage to install through them. Curious to know if you checked any of them out?

So ZG Shield is full of some shady dealers. I've contacted the Franchise lead via text but he wouldn't send me the TDS. I contacted a random installer in California -- he wouldn't send me it. I also contacted the local installer who won't send it. Doesn't bode well for the company....
