    Roll out versus 12x12 inch

    Trapping moisture under the mat is potentially bad and thus a good point. I have a two level garage and there is a beam system on which the main concrete floor is built. So, trapped moisture is not something that is comforting to me. This could potentially cause a problem. I would create a top...

    Roll out versus 12x12 inch

    I'm looking at putting a floor in my 2 car 24x28 garage. Looking at Race Deck, Garage Deck, etc. I also notice that you can purchase 10x24 ft roll out poly E mats. It seems to me that a 10x24 mat (for me x3) will work better as you have fewer seems for oil and other liquids to leak through to...

    What are you doing in your garage this 4th of July weekend?

    Jack, you're working on Black Betty? Man, I'm still fooling around with my Volvo and Suburban. The garage broke the bank for a while. The 911 will have to wait a little while longer.

    What did you do "TO" your garage today?

    Re: What did you do to your garage today? Finally fix the Suburban. Truck died on me last week. Thought for sure it was the fuel pump. I did check the relay and fuse prior to replacing the pump. After replacement, the burb still did not start. Checked the fuel pressure - zero. Checked the...

    13 Drawer Roller Tool Chest

    hey, thanks for the feedback. I need to think about what tools/stuff I want to put into this box and make sure they fit and the box meets the need. I have a lot of pegboard so the shallow drawers may not be an issue.

    Garage Door Problem

    okay gents, The contractor and the garage door specialist (vendor) wanted to check the door operation during the morning and night compared to the middle of the day. They suspected that maybe the extreme temperature in Virginia (100 degrees F) might be causing a problem. I told them, no way...

    Who uses 'mechanics gloves' and why?

    I use a pair of Craftsman Mechanics gloves and I like them. I got them last Christmas. They protect from ripping open skin, heat, fingernails getting nasty dirty, and general longevity of the hands. When I change oil I use a pair of rubber gloves to protect my arms and hands. I just think if...

    Garage Door Problem

    Okay gents, I have a brand new two car garage with Liftmaster door openers. The left bay Liftmaster works great. The right bat Liftmaster has been adjusted three times but it still has the same problem it had from day one. When the left bay garage door gets about 6 inches from the bottom...

    Finish on new concrete floor

    Okay, I have a new garage. I'm trying to decide how to finish the floor. If I use epoxy, do I need to do anything to a brand new floor. Do I need to prep it in anyway or just get the epoxy paint and get going? It has a sealer on it. Thanks, JBC

    Show me your ceramic/porcelain tiled floors. Good? Bad? Ugly? experiences?

    Kevin54, I started thinking about the tile more on the drive to work this morining and realized that my comments about leakage might be stupid since it is in my shower. However, if I spill oil and/or gas or whatever, I was concerned about what it would do to the grout. I don't think it will...

    Show me your ceramic/porcelain tiled floors. Good? Bad? Ugly? experiences?

    Jack, great point about replacing the tiles if broken versus the epoxy paint if damaged. I'm amazed that dragging the floor jack does not cause serious problems and that you can raise the car without cracking the tile. My floor slopes slightly to the front so that water will not drain into the...
