I used Trex decking for baseboard in the garage. Comes in several colors and sizes, is really durable and cuts easily with a miter saw.

Hire a plumbing company to clean and scope the drain. It's about $100 around here and you will be able to see where it goes and also what condition its in. Good luck!

Your drywall's going to be fun too...

Boy, that floor sure has been a lot of work! Looking forward to seeing your finished pictures!!! (I'm sure you are too...)

How'd it go?

it may be helpful to get a sewer scope guy come out and run his camera into this drain pipe. Not only will it tell you about the condition of the pipe, but he should be able to tell you were it goes using his metal detector device. Also agree that if there is evidence that this has been an...

If it backs to an ally, you probably need to contact the city bldg. dept. before doing anything. I had a similar situation when I put in my new driveway and had to pull a right of way permit to break out the curb... even though it was on my property.

got some Gladiator wall cabinets last year for $99 each. Need a couple more and hoping they go on sale again this year! Haven't seen an ad yet tho...

There is no set answer to this. It is dependent on the employers discretion. If the job requires you to drive on company time (ie: deliveries, test drives, sales calls, etc.), than they will want to see a pretty clean record with no DUI's, reckless driving tickets and such. It is a huge...

Update... Thanks for the replys! I spoke with the manufacturer today and they told me to NOT use the lock washers and to torque the nuts down to 100 ft/lbs. and check after the first few uses, than once a month or two depending on usage. Cheers...

I'm installing a Derek Weaver model W-10DE 10K two-post lift and have some questions. The instructions on these things are not terribly clear, so thought I would get some opinions. 1. The instructions say to torque the nuts by hand to 150 ft/lbs. This seems like an awful lot to me. I don't...

I used plastic deck boards. Worked real nice and come in different colors so no need to paint...ever!

I tried using one of those small Wagner units that a friend had when I helped him to paint his basement. We had to thin the paint so much cause it kept clogging the machine. Ended up wasting a bunch of paint and a bunch of time using that piece of garbage! I can't even imagine how tough it...

Has anyone purchased the Derek Weaver W-10DE two post lift? I am thinking about it and am looking for feedback from GJ members. Thanks...
