    Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.........

    I have a 32x52x12 detached garage on a traditional block foundation. I am very pleased with it except for one thing: I wish I would have made it 36 deep so that I could have a useable standup attic space.

    Has Anyone Considered a Lista/Vidmar Drawer Swap Thread?

    This sounds interesting. I have 4 standard eye level Vidmar cabinets near Dayton Oh with mostly medium sized drawers. I would be interested in smaller and larger drawers, if in good condition, and nearby. I will get the dimensions of my drawers and post them tomorrow.

    How many Lights for Shop

    I have a 32x52x12 garage and I used 4 lamp 4 foot T8 tandem fixtures with a total of 24 fixtures on three switches. It is very bright when they are all turned on and I love it.

    How can I tell if my floor has been densified?

    There is a contract that states they would Auto scrub concrete Apply lithium densifier Burnish In his texts to me he stated that the auto scrub would 'wash' the concrete. I actually did not expect a new condition but I think it is fair to assume that the bird **** would at least have been...

    How can I tell if my floor has been densified?

    I googled Moh's scratch test and saw a video on Youtube. It seems relatively straightforward. I wonder if I can rent the kit to use on my floor? If the floor was densified what should it test to? Thanks.

    How can I tell if my floor has been densified?

    I think the 'new' scratch in the after photo was just not shown in the before photo as I see a small part of it in the before photo. Unless I am not noticing the new scratches that you mention. They wanted $1600 for 1500 ft2 and I paid half up front, $800. I would have thought that after the...

    How can I tell if my floor has been densified?

    I was told by the installer it needs to dry for seven days. After two weeks, I can pressure wash the blemishes off. He said he would take $100 off the bill for my troubles of having to get it pressure washed. Do I really need to wait for it to dry? I thought it would already be dry. I was going...

    How can I tell if my floor has been densified?

    Well he replied back that is the best that the auto scrub does and that I should have requested a pressure wash. In our initial phone call I mentioned whether they do a pressure wash and that I had tire marks on the floor. His response was that they use an auto scrub to clean the floor. I guess...

    How can I tell if my floor has been densified?

    Thank for the reply. The contractor is not close so I have emailed him the photos asking him about the cleaning. Since it has now been densified will I be able to clean those from the floor? I realize that densifying does not change the look of the floor. I just expected it to be cleaned first...

    Want to Treat My Concrete Garage Floor - Densifier?

    I have a 52x32 garage with a concrete floor that I want to treat. It is about a year old. The floor will not have heavy, hard use. I want something that has no maintenance. I do not want to have to apply something else in 5 years. I was thinking of getting a densifier. I prefer to have someone...

    Attic ventilation question

    I am unclear on what you mean by "Pay attention to the soffits." Do you mean to make sure that they are closed off by the foam. Do I need to worry about lack of ventilation in the garage? What is the benefit to spraying the roof/gable over spraying just the ceiling? Thanks for the advice.

    Attic ventilation question

    I am looking at getting my detached, garage insulated. I was leaning towards spray foaming the ceiling and leave the soffit and gable vents open. Someone mentioned to me that I could instead spray the roof and gable ends and I could spray close the soffit and ridge vents. Is this a good idea?

    Yet Another Insulation Question

    I am getting ready to insulate my 32' x 52' detached garage and I am confused on what to do. I have read every thread on these forums about insulation and it makes me more confused. First, the garage is constructed using 2x6s with OSB, Tyvek wrap, and then the metal siding on the walls. On the...

    Security System to the New Garage

    Thanks for all the advice. I am definitely going with hard-wired. I currently have an HAI system and do not want to mess with wireless. There is a lot to think about with respect what to lay down. I think putting conduit is a smart idea but I am not sure how it will work. Obviously, between the...

    Security System to the New Garage

    I have a garage being built. It is detached with electric. I am also going to have my security system extended to the building. Can I lay the cable for the security system in the same trench with the electric. I am assuming there would be interference and I would need to take precautions. Is...
