    Walmart.com vs Amazon.com

    I find Walmart’s site to be a pain. I’ll list a few reasons why. First it constantly lies about available products that are available when I do a broad search on google. I’ll click the Walmart link and then it will display item no longer available.—I see the post above me mentioned this, I...

    SK Customer service

    I’ve had the opposite happen with SK. Gave me a bitter taste that never went away. Sk gets $0 of my money. Won’t cry when they eventually fold up.

    Ads When Opening Forum

    Just started this week and it’s only on this site. Every time I click on a different thread I get a whole page ad before the page displays. I’m using an iPhone and I am signed in.

    Ozone generator

    When I turn on my ozone generator I have to run out of the room before I’m overwhelmed with the smell of ozone. I would guess that if you can’t smell it immediately then your machine is not working correctly.

    SikaFlex issue

    I had the same issue when filling cracks in my slab. You can put another bead over the original without any issues. That is what I did and you can see the second bead if you bend down and look but it’s not terribly noticeable. But I did do it before the original bead fully dried.

    Filling gaps in hardwood floors

    Your contractor may have just given you a high bid. Wait until after Christmas when most contractors aren’t busy and call a few more. I got a quote on a similar size job for $1600. But that’s with me moving all the furniture and at the time I had carpet installed over the wood that I had to...

    Retired and about to start projects I know little about

    A lot of people can’t stand the popcorn ceilings but that is one thing about my old house that doesn’t bother me. It may be that I’m always looking down for rogue legos and matchbox cars. I may just wait it out until it comes back in style.

    Zinsser bulls eye primer

    I’ve never had good luck with zinsser. I’ve used it multiple times and could never figure out why anyone still recommends it. I use glidden gripper primer. I’ve always been happy with the results.

    Concrete skim coat - Ardex CD - Has anyone used it?

    I used quickcrete vinyl concrete patcher on some outside steps that were structuraly sound but starting to look terrible. I did a 1/4- 3/8 skim coat over the entire thing 2 years ago and the entire area still looks great. I didn’t have a lot of faith going into the project but I also didn’t...
