I was lucky enough to get my floor's epoxy done before we moved anything in, but my neighbor rented a large PODS container to put in his driveway and moved everything out of his garage into the container (probably would not fit a car, but for sure you motorcycle etc). Then let the floor cure...

I have tried simple green and 409.

Hahaha, Thanks for the help, sounds like I might be able to get away with not twisting if I need to.

Ok, I think I have it figured out, just worried about trying to twist the pipe connected on both ends. Can be hard enough to turn with just one end wet.

I realized that PVC solvent primer (purple stuff) stains everything, but I spilled a small drop on my epoxy floor. It seems to have stained it. Any ideas how to remove the purple stain? I have a professionally done 2 part epoxy with a clear coat. Wasn't sure about using any solvents like...

Also, not to mention, it will be difficult to fully insert the pipe into the couplers. Does it need to be inserted all the way? What would happen if it was only inserted 75% of the way?

I need to replace a section of PVC pipe, but both ends of pipe are fixed. I am planning on using a piece of new pipe and a PVC coupler on each end. The problem is, I know I need to twist the pipe 90 degrees when putting together, but even if I move quickly after attaching the coupler and...

I know you said no hoist, but I used a $45 chain hoist from Northern Tool and a 3x1/4" sammy lag (2000lb tear out) with and eye bolt to lift my 450lb 5hp Ingersol Rand off of the pallet it came on. It worked awsome and was very solid during the lift. I then bought more Sammy screws for future...

I run a pretty good 8 camera system at my house that is infrared giving great night video also. I would not recommend using a computer as your DVR, they tend to crash and other problems. I would buy a dedicated DVR that is internet ready. I know immediately if there is a problem at my house...

Mechanix are my glove of choice.

I didn't use the aluminum oxide, but I did clear coat which seems to add a little bit of grit feeling to the floor. It is slippery only when I am in my dress/work shoes with some snow on the bottom. I have never had a problem but, remember if you live where there is snow, be careful pulling...

Electrical first. I have spray foam in my garage. Incredible insulation, but all electrical outlets and cable outlets I have added (garage was built before I bought it) have needed to be run in surface mount raceways.

Re: hot rod garage in the works.38x56 You will love the in floor heat! I have it in my garage. I leave it at 61 F (I live in Minnesota) You will find that is plenty warm for any projects and will likely never turn it up above that. I work in just jeans and t-shirt and often find its still a...

Where would your epoxy end? Usually you stop right under the garage door to hide the seam when the door is shut. How would you do that if it was cold?

I was kidding about the sticky, just was surprised how many views the topic got. I did do a search and found nothing in terms of picture request specific to air outlets that people used in their air system. Most of this thread now has nothing to do with air outlets. Unfortunately the next...

Wow, all this from my air outlet question. Tons of hits on my thread. Wonder if it will become a sticky!!! Hahahaha

I was thinking of using these when I get to that phase of putting up air lines. http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=0701935&ucst=t

I checked it this morning and it still didn't lose any air what-so-ever. I am very happy about this.

I will also never buy the cheap thread tape ever again. The yellow stuff was 3x as much money, but when we are talking $1 or $3, not a big deal. The yellow stuff was also way easier to manage, didn't want to fold up and crinkle on itself like the thin white stuff.

Yes, I agree! There was way more room to tighten than I originally thought. Learned a lot from this initial phase of the project.
