    Basement floor humidity issues

    I know its not a garage, but hopefully there is enough floor know-how here to help me out... My basement is currently partially finished. The walls are painted with drylock and there is a french drain installed under the slab. When I moved in the floor was old tiles that were sealed over with...

    The Birdhouse Porch build

    Not a garage, but I figured some would enjoy reading the build. Started with a 12x17 deck that gets sun 80% of the time. It's just too bright out there next to the yellow siding in the summer. Plus at night the bugs eat us alive. The back wall is 8' 10" high so I didn't have a lot of height...

    VCT Tile is discolored

    I did my entire basement with VCT tile a few years ago in white. Stupid me, I didn't know I had to seal it so it started to discolor in the more high traffic areas.

    Mini-split heatpumps in winter?

    I have 2 LG split systems, each with 3 zones for a total of 6 zones in my house. The one setup is 3.5 years old and the other was just installed this month and has heat built in. At what point are these no longer efficient to run to heat your house? I have steam radiators so this was more...

    My sweet 10x20 "M" Garage

    Well not really... Slab is cracked in the center and sinking so everything rolls into the cracks. Sill is rotted at the slab. Garage used to lean to the left and move when I pushed on it so I had to reinforce it a bit after trying to square it up with a chain puller. It didn't help that...
