    Precast Concrete Waterproofing Solutions

    Its sloped well towards the front walk. No standing water at all. Any drains would have to run through the unheated garage. I think the biggest issue with a coating is a good seal between the lannon stone knee wall and the concrete. Any thought? Yes. Spancrete is a brand name for a hollow...

    Precast Concrete Waterproofing Solutions

    Top concrete isn't real bad.... I think, years ago, (we have lived here 30 years and didn't do it) the concrete on top cracked over some of the the seams in the spancrete. They came back later and cut out and filled with a rubber product of some kind. The cuts aren't over every spancrete seam...

    Precast Concrete Waterproofing Solutions

    I have an ground level 1st floor outdoor patio poured over the spancrete (precast concrete) ceiling of my basement level garage. When wet/raining/snow, it leaks through the concrete patio and through the spancrete ceiling into the garage. I feel that the most permanent way to solve the issue is...

    Shelving as a workbench option?

    The Gladiator claims a 2,000 pound shelf capacity and is $250. 72" high The Husky claims a 2,500 pound shelf capacity and is $300. 78" high I was thinking that, with a shelf in the upper most position, it might be a head banger at only 72" high. I was leaning towards the Husky for the extra...

    Shelving as a workbench option?

    Thats kind of what I was thinking only I would have two workbenches (like you show in the middle) next to one another. The area would be used for motorcycle repair and maintenance. As well other things. I was thinking about mounting them to the wall for additional stability when using a vice.

    Shelving as a workbench option?

    Has anyone used these heavy duty shaving units as a workbench. I'm thinking Husky, Gladiator, etc. My thought was to put two shelfs below the workbench shelf (the 3rd shelf from the bottom @36" high is the workbench surface) and one at the top of the unit. Line the workbench shelf surface with...

    I have a Spancrete ceiling over my garage with a poured concrete slab/patio (outside) on top of the Spancrete. There is a Lannon stone wall surrounding the patio. It needs to be removed and rebuilt to keep it from leaking into my garage. This is step one in my garage remodel. I am looking for...

    Garage under Patio

    I have a very similar set up in the Milwaukee area. Mine was built back in 1969. Condensation is not to big a problem. The floor will get some on humid days but I have very poor air flow through the garage. The biggest problem is the leaking from rain and snow. Removing the patio slab and adding...
