Thanks very much for the input, I appreciate it. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to this stuff - would something like this work...

Good info, thanks! I'm gonna fuse my fuses! I do have electric brakes, but a separate stand-alone battery for that with the breakaway line. I hadn't really thought of running off the power pin for that battery. I bought a fuse block this evening, and I'll run an 8 ga. line to a bus, then...

Definitely will - thanks a lot!

The battery is just a lead acid deep cycle. I know it'll be good enough for the lighting (all LED), and I'd think it'd be good for light/limited usage of the inverter. It's already on hand, anyway, so probably not going gel or AGM at this point... If I fry it in the next year, at least...

Thanks very much for the advice, guys. I will add inline fuses to each circuit. For the inverter line to the battery, wouldn't the lines it comes with for direct connection to the battery do the trick? And I think they usually have a couple of blade style fuses in the inverter body itself...

Take a look at the diagram below and let me know if it doesn't make sense or what you'd do different! I recently bought a 20 x 8.5 enclosed trailer that I'll be using as a dirt bike/ATV recreation trailer or to haul my '65 Dodge Coronet if I need to. I've been working on the walls and floors...

No problem - I sent a couple of friends your way and both are happy with their floors as well. Really appreciated your help when I thought I'd screwed it up.

Just wanted to follow up almost a year later - floor still looks like new. Maybe a couple of minor dents and scratches where I've dragged around my floor jack (heavy duty one that weighs about 100 lbs), jack stands, car parts, but NOTHING that has damaged the floor despite the abuse. Seems...

If that's all it was and it didn't eat anything else important up, it shouldn't be too big of an issue, just annoying - at least muriatic acid is cheap. Clean with baking soda, rinse with water, and let dry and you should be good to go. And GIG'EM AGGIES!! FTAC 2000.

Very easy and cheap to make your own with some nails, 1x4 pine and some duct tape or something. I actually used peg board double hooks that I got for $3.75, turned upside down and electrical taped them to the bottom of my boots. Three on each foot. Extremely rudimentary but very cheap and...

Hey, thanks a lot! They actually don't look too bad - I'd probably go for the four row one of the straight up border. The L shaped border doesn't look bad either though.

Very true. I don't know that I'd buy much from them by mail order.

I have used this HF angle grinder for the past four years and I am still on the original motor brushes (and it came with a spare set)!! I bought it on sale for $16.99 back in '06 and used it extensively in restoring my 65 Dodge...I've run it for hours on end and I have not been kind to it and...

I would make checker border along the walls or as a checker border near the garage door entry (for the first few rows only...9 tiles across would be 4/5/4/5 -- you could have four rows of checker and the rest black or put the other 2 white over by the door to the inside or something). I think...

That looks pretty darn good. I absolutely love the black - would have looked pretty sharp in my garage with the red car especially, but I wonder if dropping little bolts and screws is going to be a PITA unless you see right where they went?
