    Is there an amount of space required between the modine concentric vent pipe and the overhanging soffit and gutter?

    I have the heater hung to the sheetrock and a 1/4 inch per foot down pitch for the interior pipes. This puts the concentric box at a height where the exterior pipe will come out a few inches below the overhanging soffit. Is there a required distance from the top of the exterior pipe to the...

    Need advice on clean install of black propane pipe so it doesn't impede future sheetrock. Also, could use some venting advice.

    I have the Hot Dawg hung, insulation, vapor barrier, and shhetrock where the heater is. The next plan is to do the vent and have it piped for the propane lines. How do I have the lines done so that it doesn't screw up insulation and rock in the future? The black pipe will be on the wall that...

    Is Polyurea the best choice for my application?

    I have about 550sqft. The garage is mostly for parking two cars and some light mechanic work. I wanted to skip the flake in the floor so that I could easily find any dropped parts. I was thinking of just light gray and then add the anti skid. I was leaning towards Nohr S. I kind of just...

    Floor coating for an abused garage - no flake

    This garage is going to be used and abused. It will have a skid steer in it, which could have muck on the tires, and a lift. There will be occasional welding. Plenty use of heat to remove stuck bolts. Plenty of grinding of rusted parts. It is 40x40. My thought is that clear would be the...

    I would like to apply a polyurea coating. I called a local tool rental shop and the grinder is $185/day for the machine, which is an edco sec-1.5L. I would then have to buy the tool to attach to it. Then I see this from Armorpoxy...

    crack repair before coating - cement or xtreme set 100?

    I am planning my continuation of my garage project and I am pretty much ready to attack the floor. I have a couple of cracks. I have seen videos of Extreme set 100 and it looks impressive. But, if you can wait 30 or more days is actual cement repair better? I was considering Rapid set Cement...

    I finally have my sheetrock walls painted and I am almost done with the concrete foundation knee wall smoothed and plastered. All that will be left is the floor. I had purchased some tiles from costco last year and then returned them. They are nice, but not for me. I really want the look of...

    Looking to paint floor, but not epoxy- advice?

    This is a two car garage. It is heated. It will see only very light work. It is mostly just to park the cars. One of the cars is a winter garage queen, the other will see NY road salt. We learned we needed to paint the floor when we turned the new garage heater on and it kicked up a ton of...
