    Lighted TEXACO letters - how would you do it?

    In my opinion, that would be a mistake. You should keep them original/neon.

    Lighted TEXACO letters - how would you do it?

    Especially if presented to the audience here, who have a great combined skill of knowing where to find things.

    Cordless Stick Vacuum for Garage Cleaning

    With 20 feet of hose so you don't have to drag the vacuum around. Years ago I bought some vacuum hose extensions at Sears and found they made vacuuming so much better(safer around cars, too).

    Does cool roof paint actually work on Metal buildings? RESULTS POSTED,

    Thanks. Somehow I blew right on past those photos. No room for a ceiling in that garage.

    Does cool roof paint actually work on Metal buildings? RESULTS POSTED,

    Perhaps some clarification is due here. Did you actually insulate the ceiling, or do you not have a ceiling and what you actually insulated was the underside of the roof? If the former, in most cases you would be better off using a vapor barrier on top of the ceiling with a lot of blown-in...

    inflatable paint booth

    Funny coincidence... I was just watching this video last week. It says it is episode 4, so you might want to check out other episodes before and after to hear more about what he has to say.

    Pouring slab on top of existing slab

    I'm no concrete expert, but I did ask about such a thing for a project years ago. I was told that it could be done, but that 2 inches of sand would need to be put on top of the existing slab, then the new slab poured on top of that. Unfortunately, it was too many years ago for me to remember...

    Mine is uphill in both directions, but only when there's 2 feet of snow on the ground.

    Washing cars in garage... waterproof paint or plastic curtain?

    I did that years ago to protect my walls when washing floor mats and it has worked out perfectly. Note: I'm just going by memory, but I think I may have bought these panels (thinner, lighter, cheaper) and turned them around so the flat side was facing out: Pebbled panels at Menards

    Washing cars in garage... waterproof paint or plastic curtain?

    Cover your walls with 4x8 plastic panels, like these. Hang them using pole barn screws with rubber washers. **** them up to each other and put a little silicone on the seams. 4x8 plastic panels

    Anybody have one of these VEVOR Walk-behind, Hand-Push Floor Sweeper?

    For those that have one - I'm curious how much dust they kick up into the air.

    Based on the size, I would put it between 110,000 and 150,000 BTUs.
