KOBALT 60 gal 2 stage is on clearance for $354. XC602000 sku: 905520 Use Brickseek to find a store with remaining stock. Mine had 2. Now they have one ;)

This is a good strategy. :thumbup: I see them buried deep in the back of shops all the time, sometimes inaccessible. Frequently there are none along the exit routes. Careful with the batteries, especially if they hang out on the chargers. Plenty of fires started from those, which concern me...

Usually my hose and tube stock end up in totes. Still loose inside, but the bins/totes stack nicer and keep the mess under control. I've found it easier to use that system and faster to find what I need when I'm ready to use it.

:thumbup: Came here to say the same. Seems to be my go to for projects now. So much so that I've been on the lookout for another one. Love the tripod design that doesn't wobble around when working outside with it. I thought it would be unstable before I picked one up, but its better than any...

It was a power troweled finish prior to the U140 application.

I'm in the process of insulating a similar setup on my 32x30' build. Half attic trusses and half 8/12 scissor trusses with a 4/12 ceiling. We decided to spray foam the entire roof deck and gable ends and install batts for the 2x6 walls. This seemed to be the best balance of R-value and cost...

Thanks! We used zip strips during the pour to create the control cracks dividing the slab into a grid. You’re left with a very fine control crack line on the surface, but no deep cut line to drag things over. The fact that you can’t see them is success. :thumbup...

Sharing my experience... We finished the lightly burnished floor on my detached build with U140 semi-gloss. It took two full coats at 1 gallon per coat. The finish is exactly what I was going for, slightly glossy concrete. Oil wipes right up! The product was easy to work with and flowed out...

Well so far this was a win! Very happy with the application and finish of the U140 product. Snapped this photo during application of the first coat. You can see the difference in the bare concrete on the left side of the bay in this photo. I did two coats, which took 2 gallons total to...

Just got done cleaning and prepping the floor for sealing. I’m using Covershield U140 semi-gloss after seeing the results posted here by other members. https://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=442869

I'll jump in with first hand experience with this service. From my experience using Fastenal for shipping, I've found that IF you have a good store in your area, it works great. Thankfully there are several here that have guys that are really good to work with. I've shipped engines and...

Final costs will vary from area to area depending on lots of factors. Our area ranged from $55-75 per sq-ft. I need to get out there and take some shots of the front. It’s mostly done other than painting the man door to match the overheads. I’ll grab a few pics for you. Knee wall pro/cons...

Thanks! Seems there is a bunch of crawler/wheelers on here, which makes a ton of sense. The one that started it all for me and was my first ground-up build was my YJ. Pretty typical one ton Jeep build with a few extras. 60/14BFF, linked, Atlas 4spd, GM L67 supercharged. FUN rig that deserves...

Thanks! I used the 4000k version listed below, but they do sell a 5000k model if you want that temperature. Lithonia JEBL 12L 40K 80CRI WH https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DDWVNKM/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Good question. I've debated that for a while now and I've seen it done a few ways, including no wall with just a railing up there. After a few discussions the current thought is close in the wall with no window. I don't want to give up the area on that inside attic wall that I could use for...
