Jorgen, forgot to say thanks for responding. I think you have a lot of information on the web but now that I know you are actively responding to this board, I will post any questions if that is okay with you. Again, thanks. JBC

Trapping moisture under the mat is potentially bad and thus a good point. I have a two level garage and there is a beam system on which the main concrete floor is built. So, trapped moisture is not something that is comforting to me. This could potentially cause a problem. I would create a top...

I'm looking at putting a floor in my 2 car 24x28 garage. Looking at Race Deck, Garage Deck, etc. I also notice that you can purchase 10x24 ft roll out poly E mats. It seems to me that a 10x24 mat (for me x3) will work better as you have fewer seems for oil and other liquids to leak through to...

Jack, you're working on Black Betty? Man, I'm still fooling around with my Volvo and Suburban. The garage broke the bank for a while. The 911 will have to wait a little while longer.

Re: What did you do to your garage today? Finally fix the Suburban. Truck died on me last week. Thought for sure it was the fuel pump. I did check the relay and fuse prior to replacing the pump. After replacement, the burb still did not start. Checked the fuel pressure - zero. Checked the...

hey, thanks for the feedback. I need to think about what tools/stuff I want to put into this box and make sure they fit and the box meets the need. I have a lot of pegboard so the shallow drawers may not be an issue.

Anyone purchase on of the US General 13 Drawer Roller Tool Chest from Harbor Freight? The price is good at $399 but wanted to see if anyone has some time under their belts with this tool chest. Is it holding up? Problems? Thanks, John

okay gents, The contractor and the garage door specialist (vendor) wanted to check the door operation during the morning and night compared to the middle of the day. They suspected that maybe the extreme temperature in Virginia (100 degrees F) might be causing a problem. I told them, no way...

I use a pair of Craftsman Mechanics gloves and I like them. I got them last Christmas. They protect from ripping open skin, heat, fingernails getting nasty dirty, and general longevity of the hands. When I change oil I use a pair of rubber gloves to protect my arms and hands. I just think if...

I'm in for a work shirt.

Okay gents, I have a brand new two car garage with Liftmaster door openers. The left bay Liftmaster works great. The right bat Liftmaster has been adjusted three times but it still has the same problem it had from day one. When the left bay garage door gets about 6 inches from the bottom...

Okay, I have a new garage. I'm trying to decide how to finish the floor. If I use epoxy, do I need to do anything to a brand new floor. Do I need to prep it in anyway or just get the epoxy paint and get going? It has a sealer on it. Thanks, JBC
