He's just telling ya to be safe:beer: Propane is nothing to mess with, and I think it's also BS that they can't pull it out. Best of luck man!

Great looking floor!

I am in the same boat. Just did the floor last October and the wife's explorer holds alot of snow/ice above the running boards and rear bumper. Once a week or every few days I would squeege the floor and try to rinse it out. The salt/dirt had no affect on the epoxy, but I would just get tired...

Here's a thread showing my floor....done with a 4.5" grinder....don't be afraid to get into those spots! http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23761&highlight=grinding

I had the same issue. Those are low lying areas. As you said, you have the following options: 1.) Use hand grinder and just touch up those areas. 2.) Use big electric grinder and continue to grind down until it's all the same level Do you plan on doing an acid etch after the grinding? By...

I would think because you have all exterior walls insulated and VB there, you wouldn't need the interior wall to have one.

Just picked up 8 upper kitchen cabinets for free. Gonna add a nice top to each (for storage) and give them a quick shot of paint. Just look around and you'll be able to find plenty of things for under $500.

No worries bud, we'll take care of ya:beer: I too grew up in the woods and on the water, and felt the same way with this project. When you're done, you'll look back and laugh at how easy it was and how great it looks. Worst thing to worry about in your process (which I didn't have to) is making...

I would recommend the 1/4", looks the best IMHO.

If you're planning on putting epoxy down, here's what I recommend. 1. No sealer, you'll have to remove it when applying epoxy, so why bother. 2. Get building up and try to reduce the amount of air blowing around on slab (i.e no major drafts that can blow in dirt). So this means windows in...

I understand what you're saying here, but yes it is worth the $25 I paid, in the hose alone. When it did work properly, it worked great. I would not drive a great distance to get one, but they are surely worth the $25 I paid for them. If it wasn't for this thread I would still be using my cheap...

I tried "rewinding" the spring w/o disassembling, but the way the spring is messed up, it didn't work. I'm thinking the spring is a coil-spring like a pullstart and one of the bands have become out of place.

No, I'll hold onto it and maybe tear into it and fix the spring. Either way the all rubber hose is worth $25 to me, so if you have a chance to get one I would:beer:

Picked up my 2nd one today, but the first one is close to being out of comission already. After using it all weekend, it will only reel in about 3/4 of the hose. It seems like the spring has come uncoiled or misaligned and doesn't want to reel anymore in.

No problem, but I will advise you to go the epoxy route over a paint. As I said I used epoxy-coat products and it is holding up great. I just did two complete brake jobs on the Explorer and Duramax and it only suffered a few scratches. These are barely visible (mainly from jack/jackstands/metal...

I completely understand the situation you're in. I was ready to get it done, but wanted to make sure I had all possible information before starting. I have never ground concrete before and wasn't really sure what to expect. With that being said, I wasn't sure how much the 7" or larger commercial...

Please reread my OP:lol_hitti 1.) Never said it was impossible. What one deems retarded maybe the only option for others. It was not my only option, but it was an option I felt more comfortable with in both cost and process. The OP was in regards to using this option, so the question was...

Local rentals for a 7" standup model grinder was $110/day....i ended up just buying a 4.5" diamond grinder and have used it on other projects already. I did try wetting the floor when I first started, but you'll find that the slurry is just a pain. As the moisture is trapped in the continuous...

Sure you can....I don't see what the big deal is. Here's a link showing what I did with my 4.5" grinder. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23761&highlight=epoxy-coat I searched around the area, but wasn't about to pay what they wanted to rent a grinder for the day. My garage...

Got one on Monday from the Lowes in Sandusky. They just had to override it at the cash register, but didn't have any problem matching the price from the print out, thanks garagejournal!
