So, like a *****, I was grinding a lot of metal on my driveway and it left a lot of metal dust on it. I didn't sweep it off before it rained and the concrete now has a nice rusty patina that my wife is not happy about. I tried power washing, but that didn't touch it. Is there a chemical I can...

Has anyone here used this? I am thinking about using it to cover my cabinets. Jim :cool:

So, I have seen a few threads about mods people have done to their cart, and I thought it would be cool to pull them all together. Maybe you can either post the process here, or a link to the thread with it. I'm particularly interested in functional mods like a top cover, drawer inserts...

We have been in our house 10 months now, and have noticed that the floors, dark hardwood, are starting to dull a bit. When we moved in. What are you all using as a floor treatment to protect the wood, and bring back the rich color without making it slippery? Thanks, Jim :cool:

I have a bike rack, 1-1/4" on my car, and I found it works great for working on the bike too. However, I do not want to have to back the car into the garage to work on it. My garage is small, so I wouldn't have room for it and the door closed in winter. I want to mount a receiver on my...

So, a few months ago we had this huge storm in the DC area that knocked down a ton of trees. Fortunately none of them were mine, but my rear neighbor had one of his fall. It fell onto my fence and partly in my yard. I gave him a few weeks to clean it up, but he didn't. So I went over and...

I have a couple of exhaust tips for my Saturn Sky Redline that are polished aluminum, and they look like ****. I took them off and polished them and they lasted a week. I took them off again and painted them and they lasted a week. The corrosive exhaust eats into the paint and bare aluminum...

Anyone have some ides about a driveway paver design? I am thinking a two-tone herringbone brick (concrete) paver design with a border, but am open to ideas. Something like this: Here is a drawing of the space, which is 28'X34' in the potential paved section. I have access to free crushed...

I know there are a few options to "finish" VCT. One is with a quality epoxy clear coat. Long lasting, and very durable, but expensive and somewhat difficult to apply. Another is a full polish and wax job. Looks awesome, but not easy, and fairly high maintenance! What I would like is something...

Now that I have cable fully installed I have this mass of wires on the side of my house, visable from the front. I would like to enclose and protect the cables in a box, preferably plastic with a seal. Does anyone have a link to where I might find one? Something that looks like this: I'd...

A few photos to show what I have, and where it is goging: Basic, no ridge vent, soffit vents or gable vents. Style of rafters and openings on sides. Current state of build. Now, before you ask, I didn't have any control over the build, it was an incentive to buy the house, which did not...

Greetings, This is my first post, and I thought it might be good to start here. I just purchased a new house, close on Jan 15th. The house is done, but in the deal I got them to build me a garage. It has been some time since I have had a two car garage, having suffered with singles for the...
