Uh..........My snow is liquid and I just watch it run by:bounce:

Scotty, then I take it that after densifing/waterproofing and perhaps applying any of the other products that burnishing will not provide any benefit?? If one uses a burnishing pad will it provide any sheen at all? I'm attempting to get a handle on this process. Thanks for responding. If...

I see that you have some feet on the table that look like round pads. Do they allow you to slide the table, on say a concrete floor, easily? I have a roll top desk that weighs it seems a ton. A mill wright told me to build pads for it so that it would slide over just about any surface...

Scotty, perhaps you could distinguish the difference between burnishing and polishing. As you know I'm interested in the burnishing aspect of it and perhaps others would at least like to know what it looks like and how it is accomplished. Having had to run buffers in the past it does not...

In my new shop that has a 14 ft. ceiling I have eleven fixtures with 6 ea. 4 ft. lamps that are T8's and three fixtures with 2ea lamps that are T8's as well. These fixtures are "high bays" and are hard wired and hung approx. 12 inches below the ceiling to be lower than the steel beams and not...

Here are some things to consider. One is to protect your poles for as long as possible. I decided that when I built a new and very expensive fence that I wanted the posts to darn near be forever. I came up with the idea of using the material that a lot of companies use for pick-up beds to...

Miss'in one:lol_hitti All the same, a very good job of it.

In my locale fiber is considered for compression strength, not necessarily for cracking. I wonder if anyone actually knows its' properties, other than making money for the mfg's. :headscrat

If one were to dye their concrete and densify it, can it then be covered with an overcoat of a clear type epoxy? I had been considering using concrete for my front driveway dying it a black and exposing the agragate, which obviously would negate doing any densification. Would it need an epoxy...

Ray and I are from the same basic backyard (CA). While working for the State of CA we used "dg" for pathways, roadways, parking areas, turn arounds, etc. We did not mix it with anything else, but did use vibratory plates to pack it and as Ray said, wet it down with each lift of approx. 2". It...

Re: My Wolverine Epoxy floor Nightmare As I had been considering covering my new shop's floor with an epoxy product I'm glad that I came to this Board. It has been an eye opener, especially being informed that the material is tempermental and there are pros who have difficulties as well. So I...

It is my understanding that "all" states abide by the UBC (Universal Bldg Code), which is the minimum accepted code to build by, and any attached garage that has a wall adjacent to the living quarters must be drywalled "and" taped. Otherwise it is not a firewall. In my locale, one must also use...

If you have the room, put it all under the stairs and sound proof it so the Mrs. doesn't have to listen to it, nor do you. You wouldn't be the first to do such an installation. They are quite common. Something to consider.

Trees. Bad for driveways, sidewalks, patios and foundations. One might consider cutting the existing roots that are causing the current trouble and get some relief for a number of years at least. I agree with those that have suggested excavating and placing base material and sand with...
