    concrete wedge?

    That's the best way I can think of to describe what I want to do. My one-car bay is in the basement of my house, and I have an old RX7 that I am working on (not a lot of ground clearance). Problem is that there's a significant differential between the dirt outside and the concrete slab of the...

    Concrete overlay or saw/jackhammer/dispose of and repour?

    Asking a question for future reference here, there's nothing happening at work and I am bored. I have a 2-car attached carport on one end of the house. I am planning on closing it in at some point and changing it into a garage (I have lots of other projects around the place to get to before...

    Hammer drill?

    Finishing out an unfinished basement garage

    I have a 1-car garage/basement situation and I need to waterproof, frame, insulate, and wire it so I can actually use it as something more sophisticated than a really nice cave. Think of it as a big concrete box with a single-layer wood garage door on one corner, as that's all it is. In total...

    y helo thar.

    I can't remember if I heard about this board on the HAMB or from one of my other car-related boards that I read to keep myself from going nuts. I don't really count as a HAMBer, per se, I like to read the board and learn about those, but I have my hands full with my old RX7 right now. Maybe when...
