Snowed all weekend, I considered getting the snow blower back out, but it doesn't move the slushy stuff to well. Maybe in May I will mow.

Re: 22/30 garages fail mystery "shopper" test That was a pretty low blow to the Dr. Yes the pharm reps throw a lot of marketing and promo money around, but my mother used to work for a single Dr. in private practice and I know for a fact that had it not been for the sample drugs given that...

Minimum #10 for 30 amp, and minimum #8 for 50 amp. I am not an electrician but work as an engineer and use the handy dandy Ugly's guide every day.

I would like to add a thumbs up to the Legacy product. This stuff rocks, hard as a rock and I found that if you try to chip off the stuff you drip on the concrete will actually chip the concrete trying to knock it off. I have never had any patching concrete stick that well, polymer modified...

I have just gotten through repairing one huge job in my own garage. I have had a great experience with 100% solids epoxy and sand, and if you grind after it will get the same texture as the concrete. If you do go with one of the polymer modified concrete patch materials, do your homework, I...

Permits and inspections just give more of a chance that things will be done right. I worked a landscape job on a local Parade of Homes project when in college. Our job was to install a pond and waterfall and 45 foot stream. I was on the jobsite daily for a period of 2 weeks, during which the...

Mine was like mentioned before by crf and kywildcat about the consistency of thick latex paint, rolled out really well and seemed to self level to a certain degree. It sounds like your had started to cure or mix was off or some other factor. Mine also was in a plastic bucket. I was able to...

for repair get hold of Scott at Legacy for repair materials, great stuff

I can say this without hesitation, I am pleased beyond belief with the material and the ease of application. I on the other hand look back on the prep and repair process and think that was the hardest longest project in a long time. Tonight was the first night in a couple of months I and my...

I wish things like that too for my wife, but mine have to do with her cooking and keeping house like Martha Stewart, and having the same abilities and attributes of some "ladies" I have seen on late night cable programing.

When we moved in to this house 9 years ago, it was a carport upstairs with a garage below. The only reason the carport even got turned into a garage by this point was the prying eyes and bitchiness if one old widow across the street that constantly bitched about the eyesore car she had to look...

Well I was one of the lucky free install "winners". The odyssey began back in December when I was selected as one of the lucky 10. Our floor was a trainwreck, we had no choice but to repair it and soon. Our slab is the ceiling for our downstairs garage, so simply removing and re-pouring was...

we got the base down and were done with that by 8:45 and went out to eat with friends. The base coat covered evenly and looked good until we got up in the middle of the night. Our slab has had various repairs done over the years by previous owners, and even with grinding it did not take the...

Well we didn't start when we hoped to, so the alarm is set to be up at 1:30 AM to put down the clear.

be careful ever having a closet door swing into the closet. I have seen a walk in closet this way and when something fell over and blocked the door, it meant a new door. The door was literally destroyed in order to get back into the closet.

Looks great!! I hope to be rolling my base coat in about 2 hours. This whole project is making me tired. Keep us updated on the rest of the garage as you work more.

So I am down to the end of my floor prep and repair. We have skim coated about 180 square ft of floor with a polymer modified patching cement from a local coatings supply company. That worked alright, took a fair amount of practice to make it work out well, the areas that didn't got a full...

I know this may sound a little crazy, but 3M puts out a line of tapes with an adhesive system called VHB that are the strongest double stick tapes I have ever used in an industrial setting. They are strong enough that they are used for computer lockdown devices that literally glue a plate to a...

Today I rented an EDCO 10" 11 horsepower gas grinder. What a pain in the ***. I would have gladly paid someone to fo that part of this job. The disk did not sit flat to the floor when the machine was in use causing a lot of swirl shaped gouges. My 19 yr old son spent at least 3 hours on...

I look forward to the pics with clear coat, things look great so far.
