    Cleaning Concrete Nightmare

    Nightmare got worse. Was told to go ahead and do it...The floor seemed like it was prepped well enough that I wasn't too afraid. Only issue Quikrete yellow is complete **** and 1 gallon covered about 50sq ft. Owner didn't want to spend any more money on it. Here's a picture of this disaster...

    Cleaning Concrete Nightmare

    I think I took a video of it. I could make an OSHA what not to do video.

    Cleaning Concrete Nightmare

    I think epoxy would be best for its strength. Managing this project with school is a pain but the house is big so it's not like I have no place to sleep. I think the floor is too uneven for tile. There are 2 parts where the floor dips in. I figured epoxy would go over it without issue.

    Cleaning Concrete Nightmare

    I knew what I was getting into. I just figured since i used so many chemicals to remove the glue that the concrete dust would be more toxic than the amount of asbestos left at that point. I did do wallpaper in one room that has lead paint, I didn't scrape any of it off though. Just removed the...

    Cleaning Concrete Nightmare

    I appreciate the concern/advice. Only issue is I've already done all that so I can't go back in time. When I ripped the tile up there was no dust in the air. When I did the grinding I sealed the room off and cleaned all the dust up before opening the room back up. I have a cold and ate an...

    Cleaning Concrete Nightmare

    Gonna get a bucket of cement paint and go to town. I'll be long gone before it starts peeling. I would rather try and be a nice guy though.

    Cleaning Concrete Nightmare

    I was going to put baking soda all over the place and scrub it in to balance the acidity. I have no idea what the black spots are.. I guess I'll have to find my 3m full face respirator and get fresh cartridges. Sounds like I should do more grinding. Also, I've read a few places recommending the...

    Cleaning Concrete Nightmare

    I painted the walls purple and the epoxy is gold, my school colors. There isn't any glue left and everything has been degreased. There are just some spots that have that nice grit feeling and others that don't feel quite as nice. If there was asbestos in them it's too late now. There was a lot...

    Cleaning Concrete Nightmare

    This is a house I'm renting. The guy is charging me basically nothing and I work on the house on the weekend. It's from the 50's and is pretty beat up. I'm in college and have limited expertise but an afternoon of google teaches you some basic stuff. Here's the current project...epoxying the...

    I just paid $360 for the tool box and I have spent plenty of money there in the past. It's a system that they put in place so I don't feel bad at all. I'll keep everyone posted with if they ship my order or not.

    Harbor Freight Website Coupons

    Today I purchased the 44" HF box for $360 with a coupon in the store. I went online to order some socket organizers and decided to try out a coupon for one of the free pieces of **** they hand out. Instead of the code applying to the **** thing in the cart it took 7.99 off the tray. I tried...

    Kobalt 3 Piece Locking-Plier Set - $9.98

    I had to remove the bolt and grind the end down because there was a defect at the bottom of it. It prevented the bolt from tightening the pliers beyond half way. So far they have not broken but I doubt they'll last very long.
