    Propress Users - Need some feedback and fitting advice

    To all my Propress people, I have joined your club. Looking forward to some feedback on fittings and the different options out here besides Viega. I finally bit the bullet and picked up a used Propress tool. I'm one of those DIY guys that has far too many tools, many for the "Just In Case"...

    Basement Bilco Door Lock Ideas?

    I have an old Bilco door to the basement I need to add a lock to. They sell a kit that's around $100+ I could buy, but I may replace this door in a year or two so I'd rather not spend that much right now on it. Any ideas of any other locks that will work in a similar way, or, do I install a hasp...

    LVP Flooring in Basement over Concrete?

    I'm making a small basement laundry area (125+/- Sq Ft) nicer and was considering putting down LVP flooring. I'm painting the other part of the basement with 2-part epoxy and may paint this section too, but the idea of LVP in this space would make it much nicer. I know there are all sorts of...

    2 Part Epoxy Paint on Basement Floor - Questions

    I'm doing some basement clean up getting the walls painted on a new to me property, and while at it I want to paint the floors. I've never used the 2-part epoxy, only the 1 part which is basically just normal paint. I'd like to go 2-part epoxy with the hope that its even more durable than the 1...

    Air Compressor Gets Sluggish and Crawls to a Halt

    This air compressor gets sluggish and stops building pressure around 50 psi. If I let pressure out it will start again and chug along until it can’t spin anymore. While it is running in the early stages as it grows from 0 psi, you can hear in the video how in the motor it sounds like some type...

Keep in mind...
