I pressure washed it to get some of the mud off that the drywallers got on the floor.

It has definitely not been sealed.

Hi all, My garage was finally built back in April. They originally poured the foundation and floor back in December so it sat uncovered for a couple of months during the winter. I'm a little concerned about the floor because it is very splotchy and has hairline spider webbing over a lot of...

Installed around 675 sq/ft of fiberglass batt insulation in the ceiling. Super fun in July. Onto the walls today.

I believe it is a model 14 after getting into it and finding no check valve. Repair kit I used was for a model 17 as that was all HD had in stock. I'm wondering now if the packing washer is slightly different on the 17 even though they look alike in the pictures and still fit.

I had a leaky outdoor Woodford faucet and just bought and installed a valve repair kit for it. After installing the repair kit the valve will only turn open a quarter turn even though it used to turn at least a full turn. Any idea what could be going on here? The water pressure is decent...

Sorry should have stated 240. I was thinking 10ga in case I needed to go up to 30A 240 and because I ended up getting some 10ga wire on Amazon a while back when they had it for $35 for 50ft. Some of the things I could see using that in the future would be an electric car charger, large...

Putting new electric in my garage and I’ve got a couple of spots where I am going to put dedicated 110 outlets for a fridge and air compressor. As these would be dedicated 20A outlets, I started thinking that if I run them with 10ga, wire instead of 12ga and put them in a quad box, I could...

Thanks for the reply. I found some R21 insulation in batts that looks like it should fit without compressing it so I think I will just go with that. In the future I could probably lay another layer on top of it in the open areas to increase the R values there though I'm not sure how much...

Hi all, It's been a long process but my new garage is finally up (about a year after signing the contract)! I had it built with storage trusses and have flooring in the attic covering a space roughly 12'x25' (garage interior is 25x25) that will be used for storage. The joists are 22 1/2" OC...

I thought about something like that or shrubbery. The thing that caught my attention though is that the MrCool unit requires a minimum of 78" of clearance in front of the condenser unit. Seems like a lot to me but that is what is stated in the manual.

I am planning to put in an 18k Mr Cool DIY. I was planning to put it on a pad rather than mounting it to the wall.

Thanks all. That is really helpful!

For those of you that have mini splits how loud is the outdoor unit? I can find db ratings for the indoor portion but not the outdoor condenser. I'd like to install one in the new garage I am having built and I'm debating between installing it on the back wall or side wall of my garage. If...

Does the supratile have the same issues with tires staining them as other PVC tile does?
