Just so you know... A clogged filter will actually cause the motor to draw less amps and could result in it running cooler. A clogged filter means less flow. Less flow means the pump is doing less work. A pump that is doing less work draws less amps. A clogged filter is obviously bad and can...

IMO this is a scam. Pretty standard scam in most places.

Sweet, it was poured on 1/27/10. February will be too cold. I work a ton of overtime in March. So April will be the first chance, plenty of time to cure and warmer too. Thanks, guys.

I just had my the floor poured in the new garage. As soon as it gets warms I want to epoxy it. I know it'll save me a lot of prep time if I get it epoxied before I get it oily and dirty. So do I have to wait a certain amount of time before gettting it epoxied or can I do it immediately?

I just laid my tubing and it didn't turn out like I thought at all. The tubing is very stiff and is hard to lay down uniformly. I just winged it and it came out fine. :)

FFR prompted my garage build. I was never into convertibles until I got my S2000. And I'm a FWD guy. After I got my S2000, I realized that if you want to have fun in a car then convertible and RWD is the way to go. So I've been looking at FFRs for a couple of years to replace my S2000. When...

Hmm forgot some pics... The angles aren't very flattering to the house. :( Tyvek on, some windows in and roof is on.

I spent two weekends putting in the radiant floor heating. I was quoted $8,000 to do it. I've got under $2000 in in now including materials and hiring some local teenagers to help me. I asked the wife to pop out a fully grown teenager but she wasn't going for it so I hired a couple of...

So my garage is currently being built. We were hoping for some warm weather in January or February to be able to pour the floor but as you know it's been bitter cold for weeks now. My builder wants to use an antifreeze admixture so that he can pour the floor in this cold weather. I'm skeptical...

No, she wasn't armed. She didn't even know he was there til the dog got to him. We live in town though and the neighbors are close. A yell would've brought 4 or 5 neighbors quick.

Beacon, NY near Poughkeepsie. I'm a mechanic at Indian Point, the nuke power plant. We went with 24'x28' because we were worried about losing too much yard to the garage. After cutting the trees we can now see how big the yard is and the 4' wouldnt have mattered but its too late to change now...

Here's my little dog. Some people disparage small dogs but as long as you raise em right they can be good dogs. Just last night, he heard someone poking around the yard. He warned my wife and ran outside snarling ready to tear up some ***, all 10# of him. :) My wife followed him and found some...

More pics... Includes a pic of a future garage dog and the kitchen remodel we did. The garage is 24' x 28' and is attached to the house.

I was into Chevys as a kid and then Dodges but the last few years I’ve been into Hondas. I’ve got four cars currently; ’91 Civic, ’97 Civic, ’01 S2000 and ’00 Volvo V40. Volvos are junk btw never buy a Volvo. Anyway the cars are getting older and need a lot more maintenance. We bought this...

Hey guys, I've been lurking here for a few months. Finally started work on the garage about 6 weeks ago. I'm going to post a few pictures.
