    how to verify driveway replacement dimensions?

    I've recently gotten 3 estimates for my driveway. Two are written and one was verbal. The written ones are both local companies, and were very close and included removing the existing 1600 sq. ft, compacting a stone base, and adding 1000 sq. ft to the job. I don't have a copy at the writing...

    New Stamped Concrete - Joints are crumbling

    Testing the waters on an old thread here: Anyone experiencing loose edges on stamped concrete? I recently had my pad done. When i realized the stamp wasn't centered i asked them to move it over. He advised not to do that, but i asked them to. The one mason said we may be ok because they...

    Am i crazy to NOT coat my floor...

    DD, i am in that same Jeep CJ phase (for the past 30 years now) and my question here is regarding the sealer and its toughness. Will dragging floor jacks and setting Jack stands hurt the finish? An occasional dropped hammer and hot rocks from a torch? I am pouring a 5" floor next weekend in...

    Floor stone prep and 12'x12' concrete apron

    I'm going to have 3/4" clean crushed delivered today. The tandem will dump into the pad pit. Today we hand raked the leftover Dense Grade Aggregate over the bottom course of 1.5" crushed rock and plate compacted it down. For visual purposes i set strings to show the top of concrete. I've got a...

    Floor stone prep and 12'x12' concrete apron

    I've read the SLAB GUIDE a few times and get a lot out of it. I also encourage everyone to read it. I'll agree that filling a hole with dirt is fine, however i have spread that dirt out to other parts of the yard already. My solution is to go with this RECYCLED CONCRETE AGGREGATE. The...

    Long and Short Arms on 2 Post Lift

    I am about to install an Asymmetric lift and also plan to reverse onto it from time to time. How about an update? Any issues with long-arm and the heavy side?? P.S. how's the Bel Air project? My father-in-law has a 1956 4 door that he's thinking of having the 6 cyl / Powerglide swapped out...

    Floor stone prep and 12'x12' concrete apron

    Hello all! I've been searching and reading up on other's Q&A about concrete preparations. Many great ideas shared/posted, and still I have a few questions and concerns as I am about ready to have my 30'x32' floor poured prior to the apron. The fill that's under the barn is solid. I can't dig...

    Ideas for workbench top ?

    My local bowling alley in NW NJ converted to synthetic lanes. He is selling 5 foot sections of the old wooden alley for $100 each. I very well may go this route. He might ship if anyone's interested. Jeff

    Lift placement!

    Hello. Can i get some thoughts on placing a lift diagonally in a corner? I have a new 30x32 and am doing concrete soon. My split sliding doors open to 14' wide and 10' high. I feel that placing it up in the left front corner would still allow 3/4 of the floor to be used. I can back a vehicle...

    Hello from New Jersey

    Hello Shurtee You were in the old Bud plant? Now you can concentrate on a different kind of Bud plant?!?! I'm in Warren County, and am aware of the NJ fight on medical and making it more accessible for qualified people. Recreational is a whole different ballgame. My job forbids BOTH, so I'm...
