Nope, I'm off of Harney road in Hunters Ridge, only Chevys. If you do decide to go to Hanover to check him out, let me know. I would go with you.

ms have you see the lifts sold by USA lift sales in Hanover, PA? They have several 2 post lifts from 9000# to 18,000#. they sometimes have a few used lifts for sale also, but that's hit or miss. I spoke with the owner at spring Carlisle and he seem to be a good guy, sorry, don't remember his...

Kevro, There is a company in Reading, PA that sells 3/4 in. plywood (11 ply) that I believe is sanded on both sides and one side has a polyurethene primer or coating for the inside of cabinets. A friend of mine makes cabinets and gets all of his plywood from them. $33. per 4 by 8 sheet and...

Just ran across this and must say that it looks fantastic. One word of caution. Had a coworker use old wood to built a rustic floor in his basement and seven years later his house was full of beetles. Apparently there is a beetle that lays its eggs in old wood and they lie dormant for seven...

Dave, I ended the epoxy at the door with painters tape. In some spots there was a clean line, in others, the epoxy spread between the porous concrete. Your door will cover it anyway. If the epoxy is thick on the tape, it will be difficult to remove. You may need to cut the expoxy over the...

Nice deck. You may be required to install a railing. In my county, any deck above 12" requires a railing. Safety reasons.

Another vote for Little Giant. I've had it a few years and it's gotten me out of some tough situations where a normal ladder wouldn't. They're not cheap, but are well worth it. They now make attachable wheels for them so them can be wheeled around and not carried.

BMW, Where did you buy that plastic tray . Very nice.

In DC, it should only take one night. Hope you don't have to wait too long.

Thanks Steve, very helpful. I'll be putting the epoxy on 2000 sq. ft. this Sat. and I have my fingers crossed. One question, did you have any cracks in the floor and did the Epoxy fill the small ones? I spent 6 hours filling every tiny crack so they wouldn't show.

I'm getting ready to do my floor this week and I was planning to paint the outside 6 inches because I thought if that part gets wet from rain or snow, moisture could seep under the epoxied inside area and it may cause the epoxy to peel or flake. Just my thoughts.

neblinc, thanks for the write-up. I'll be doing my floor in a few months and sounds like I'll need to order an extra kit. John

Rustylocke, Any specs/dementions on the cabinet in the middle pic? Thanks, John

Pekingman, Thanks for the great writeup. I plan on using Epoxy Coat on my garage this fall. 2000 sq. ft. and I'm sure your writeup will be helpful. John

Thanks, snorvet.
