Even on the sheet metal outside where the clay splashed up and stained it, I only used CLR there and it took most of the stains off. I could assume a specialized red clay stain remover would be better. What coating are you planning to put down?

Yes sir. I think in the section I put epoxy down I doubled the acid concentration because it didn't seem fizzy enough to me.

This is what I wrote down. I first pressure washed everything then scraped the thickest deposits from the saw cuts. I it did clean up pretty much everything else. There may be a few red footsteps the acid didn't remove because they were so fresh after the pour so they really soaked in to the...

Thanks! I didn't use any red clay stains remover. Just the one gallon jugs of what lowes is selling as muriatic acid. Doesn't seem like pure muriatic acid but it worked.

Concrete guys finally showed up in-between the rain storms to pour the patio and parking area. This time I was more ready and made some small forms for pads for the extra concrete!

That is certainly not a thing, nothing to worry about!

Most modern DC electronics like LED lights use a switching power supply to go from AC to DC can likely run on AC input anywhere from 50 volts to 300 volts. The reason for higher voltage is lower current and therefore smaller wire.

That's a good way to do it for getting the top plate level. The RR buildings guy on the youtube measures all his locations with his laser then cuts all the posts to the correct height for that location. Can you not cut a new hole in the door for the deadbolt or does it need to go in the...

It was delicious!

The plan is to roll the smoker out on my patio, one day if it ever gets poured. However for now I just put a vent in the window thinking all or "most" of the smoke would go out the window but it fills the whole 40x60 shop with smoke while running over night. During the day I can just open the...

Those workbenches and cabinets look like they cost more than my whole building!

What gauge/thickness was that steel decking? Do you have a link to the specs for it?
