    Shoes for concrete floor

    Then stay away from Red Wings. Most of it is made in China but they put the laces in here and call them American made. A lot of products use deceptive language. One way they do it is to say they are ASSEMBLED in the USA You see the USA flag and think it is made here.

    Washing machine problem - Maybe Garage Journal people can help?

    I believe I have that same machine. Youtube has been a great help for me fixing stuff, vehicles, etc but you have to be careful. Last year the washing machine kept pumping long after the wash was done. I looked up a youtube and the guy said it means that a nail or screw got stuck in there and...

    Demolition hammer buy vs rent

    If you have already done that much then just smack it with a sledgehammer. Once you get the first chunk out the rest is easy. I have a Bosch demo hammer and it is good for the intended purpose. I don't know how good the cheap ones perform. If you do get a hammer then make sure you have extra...

    Garage storage

    My attached garage has a steep pitched roof and there is good space available. This past year after looking at it for many years I finally put a floor and shelving up there as well as a set of folding stairs. **** I did not put anything up there that I did not need. I kept a big garbage can...

    I’m out of the game!

    If it was me........ I would go to one of the online auction companies. Tool prices are quite high these days. They can break up your tools into much smaller lots and get a higher price. I am watching two auctions this evening, one near me in Minneapolistan and one in Wisconsin. I would not...

    Moisture in the garage

    The fact that your garage is new and was built late in the year is also a factor. There is a lot of moisture in your concrete, wood, etc.

    New shop floor. Tear out or pour over

    I come here for the entertainment. The first time I worked on a concrete pour was 1972. I've been in construction ever since. Nobody with half a brain would bust up concrete and then pour over it. If you go to the work of busting it up then get rid of it, do a proper job of compacting the base...
