What is the black trim you put above the base of the walls? Is it painted or vinyl trim? Looks great!

Solid advice, I saw the heat gun tip in another old thread, but the person said they did it on their shutters and not actually on tiles. I guess plastic is plastic, and should work across the spectrum. I have a bunch of really crappy looking tiles that even if they get messed up by either of...

I have a lot of severely faded gray swisstrax diamondtrax tiles (old design) that I'd like to clean up and make somewhat presentable. Age is unknown, but definitely far from new or even newish. They had been used on a deck, so sun exposure has really gotten to them. I gave Swisstrax a call to...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I guess my hopes for an easy job of applying epoxy over vinyl is not the best move. I'm afraid that since the house was built in 1972, the linoleum sheet was likely laid down at that time, and there might be asbestos which would require abatement and disposal...

I estimate that the car needs to be raised 2 inches in the front to safely clear the step. I would prefer maybe 3 inches to account for multiple people in the car. My current idea is to utilize a horse stall mat 4'x6'x3/4" from the home gym, with some pieces of plywood stacked underneath. The...
