Great info guys....I'll check into it at HD (or Menards). I'm flirting with winter, so I'd better get rolling on this project soon!

I can easily get the garage space (air space and contents) to 70+ degrees. Getting a 300 sq./ft section of concrete to 50 shouldn't be that hard right now.... However, I'll be flirting with winter temps very soon. What are the caveats if its not? Long curing times? (which is ok with me, I'm...

When you say "this time of year" do you mean because of the ambient temperature? I just ordered my Armor-Clad kit this week. We just got our first "snow" today, and the outside temperatures are upper 30's. Fortunately, my garage is heated. What should the slab temperature be, before I start...

Oh it's most certainly from "frost heave" and the heave is literally 2", maybe 3". I figured by filling the cracks/joints it may help mitigate the water/snow melt that turns to ice and precipitates even more heave. As far the suggestions already. Thank you guys. But the thing is, I'd probably...

So I have some slabs of concrete between the house and garage. Why? I don't know why the previous owner did it this way, I would have simply preferred grass and/or landscape - but this is what I'm dealt with for now. Eventually I'm going to break it up and do something different. Anywho...

Anyone tried those lifts by "Quick-Jack"??

Thanks all for the warm welcomes. Yes, the old timer was right. The more "mobile" you make things, the easier it is to do lots of things. And you can easily rearrange too; as if it was your living room furniture. Ha! Word of caution though-- use GOOD quality casters, you'll be happy you did...

The underside of my roof-deck cost about $1200 for my 700 sq/ft garage (not sure what the actual roof deck square footage is; it's a hip roof, and I'm not good with complex math to figure it out.) I couldn't be happier, it's fulfilled it's purpose above and beyond!! When anything comes to...

"Pittsburgh" by Harbor Freight.

And in my opinion, after seeing what the installation fellas went through to do this job......It's not worth attempting as a DYI project. The savings is minimal, and hassle is maximum! Cheers!:3gears:

Real world experience here. I had the underside of my roof-deck spray foamed w/ closed cell foam. (recommended by the installer) The foam I got expands 10:1, and after they were done with the underside or my roof-deck it ended up being 10-12 inches in most sections. Keep in mind that 1" of...

Thank you Sir!:3gears:

Well I guess you're right. Compared to Knipex, Channel-Lock is a bargain.

It's a consumer driven world we live in. Capitalism at it's finest.

A lot of the "Asian" hand tools are becoming better quality; unfortunately, or fortunately however you look at it. Many of us don't want to pay the exorbitant price of a Knipex, Channel-Lock, Snap-On or Klein tool. (though I am partial to Knipex) (incidentally, Snap-On's "bluepoint" series...

Wow! and I thought mine "on" since 1988 was a longer time! LOL

From the MOtor City...well not actually thankfully- more like the 'burbs! I'm constantly REorganizing my garage because I'm always finding a "better way" to find more space. I have a 700sq/ft 3-car garage, but it's already packed with "stuff" since I moved in 3 yrs ago. Every wall is covered...

Looks great....one caveat someone pointed out to me though..... If you ever drop a small screw, nut, washer, etc. with certain color combinations it could be a nightmare to find!!!

Armor-poxy is actually a 2-part solvent based epoxy; not water based.
