    Tyler-- The urethane looks awesome and I like how it lets the "experience" of the floor shine through. How slick is the resulting surface both dry and wet? Thanks, Ron

    @ Shocker & Goobzilla I had read that best buy auto equip by PDX had closed in another thread. I just tried their number at 503.935.5216 and it is disconnected. Another victim of the economy. :( Thanks, Ron

    All-- Sorry for the slowness of response... just got a new job and trying to make sense of it... so less time for fun pursuits. @Ken-tek Bend-pak has great lifts that are well designed for use in commercial setting and prices to reflect that quality. I'm gonna be lucky if I cycle mine 500...

    Before I drywall - checklist for in-wall goodies?

    If you are going to have 220V outlets... the electric police will require every outlet to have it's own breaker. The work around is to connect 1 or 2 "junction boxes" with the 220 wiring "upstream" and then install the actual 220 outlet at the end of the line. This allows you to pass...

    Shop vacs

    I recommend good old Shopvac, but make sure you get the "quiet series". My contractor had a Rigid and after using them side by side, he replace his with one like mine.

    VCT tile now done. Looks great!

    Dave-- Great feeback and thank-you. I've been watching the epoxy over VCT threads and will likely head the same direction. I would like a year with a nice shiny waxy floor. It will remind me of one of my early jobs as a box boy at a grocery store. ;^) Any problems with liquids getting...
