    Above 1200 Sq/FT Garage build in South West B.C

    For the mounting - With the way the tank feet are designed I use Hockey Pucks (the solid black rubber style). They are cheap, relatively easy to find and a 1/2" spade bit drills thru them easily. Then use basic concrete anchors thru the foot, puck & into the floor. For the drain - I agree...

    Scrubbing new floor?

    When I had a commercial space that had a bunch of concrete covered in drywall dust & taping mud, I first scraped up all the mud clumps from the floor & then tried a wet mop. But I found that the dust was both too thick & seemed to just move around more than pick up. So I rented a Tennant T1...

    You mentioned earlier that the van has a bit of flex, though more in relationship to the frame to body, so the following my or may not be warranted. Plus I'm really not familiar with that vehicle specifically. /end disclaimer :) You may consider (& maybe already did) backing the Pinch Rail...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years!

    Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! Great Idea on the Solid Wire with Flags for locating. I did similar but reverse, using wire coat hangers to center locate mounting of UniStrut to the ceiling in garage (stud finder just wasn't accurate enough)...

    I've not used the Woodpecker holds, but I've used others that have smooth plastic with little contact edge. I found success with either blue painters tape (less aggressive) or low tack double sided layup type tape (more bite) adhered to the work surface. Both can provide the needed texture/tack...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT The Lone Beech Garage (60x46x16)

    I'm happy to help & offer assistance when I feel my insight might be beneficial. Again, on this specific topic, it's been along time & in all honesty I'm much more experienced in VW/Audi brand systems. So take my input as food for thought rather than being from a subject expert. (my disclaimer...

    First let me say that it's been 20 years since I've worked on that generation of Honda's electrical system, but in all honesty is one of the most straight forward produced (little computer/control module or other bs for simple systems). Based on the diagram above the Pinouts should be - A =...

    Nealey Auto Service's New Location in Edgewater, MD - Work in Progress!

    I can see the photos & WOW!!! As a former automotive business owner that transitioned from a less than 1000sqft facility I'd been in for 10 years to 8500sqft in 2004, I can really appreciate the excitement & anxiety you must have been feeling. I commend you & your team's dedication in...

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Denver MCM garage expansion

    My Vote - Sans the Arrow. With Green door handle escutcheon. I'd give the same treatment to both the "Arrow" door & the exterior door. Or maybe just the tribute door & the exterior door gets the orange... I'm torn. The blue is subtle enough to not grab your eye/blend in when walking...

    Damn you Sakurama!

    Maybe this thread could work like this - - Member posts a photo or written details/review showing his/her "Kid Tested, Gregor Approved" purchases - Gregor quotes the photo/detail & adds an affiliate link for where to purchase Of course if this is allowed. I realize that this might require...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT The Lone Beech Garage (60x46x16)

    Is it possible that these are used with beginning/novice bowlers to help show them how to "pick up" things like splits? I'm not very well versed with bowling, a casual player in late teens/early 20's, but that was my thought when you first showed the illumination pattern. Sorry if the...

    Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! Concrete grinding in Aug or Shopping at Haggen's on Woburn in March A good look for either application!?!? :lol_hitti Edit - Sorry just feeling a little cooped up in Everett Hope all is well with you & family...
