    Question on stair treads and risers, what order?

    Stairs are in the basement inside. Will never see weather. If they do then the house is flooding and that's another issue..lol So one thing I wanted to ask. By putting the riser first then the tread, the tread sticks out probably 1/4" more than the old bullnose off the stock stairs. Does...

    Triumph c7000 or Maxjax (for the billionth time)

    I do enjoy the small profile of the maxjax, and the current spacing allows me to still park (close fit) the other car in the garage. I'm worried about the c7000 since it's bigger I'd have to space out the columns slightly more which would greatly impede the other car from getting parked. The...

    Triumph c7000 or Maxjax (for the billionth time)

    I like my MaxJax and it's served me well over the years, but everytime I see the c7000 I want it..lol Just for the added height and the fact I don't have to manually put in the safety bars would be nice. Does anyone know the spacing of the anchors in terms of the c7000 and also what achor they...

    Question on stair treads and risers, what order?

    I can't seem to find a 100% this is the way to do it so I wanted to ask here. I have complete vinyl stair treads and risers. They will be going on top of my existing stair case in the basement that is not finished. The biggest question I have is do you put the riser behind the tread, or do...

    Construction adhesive questions. Urethane the same as Polyurethane glue?

    Excellent, thank you for the info. Yep I can get out from down stairs, so if I start at the top of the steps and work my way down I can just exit the basement and walk up the side of the house. We also have a door to the basement that is shut so no one would walk down there (just my wife and...

    Construction adhesive questions. Urethane the same as Polyurethane glue?

    The person we've been dealing with is very helpful. He emailed me back stating "Yes Loctite PL Premium would be good to use and would not void any warranties with us." So that's good to know. And since I can get it at HD it should be no problem now. Appreciate all the help! Now I just gotta...

    Construction adhesive questions. Urethane the same as Polyurethane glue?

    I believe those are for when you are gluing the floor down to the subfloor. I think I read in both the installations pdf's and they were calling for those two. On their "accessory" page: https://www.calibamboo.com/flooring-trim-tips-and-tricks/ For their accessories that's where they have...

    MaxJax epoxy anchor question

    I am redoing a few of the wedge anchors that seem to be not gripping. Replacing them with the epoxy anchors that so far the ones I've done years ago haven't budged. I ordered several of these today...

    Covering or hiding lally posts in basement?

    Appreciate all the help. Those doors are the entry way to the room/main room not a closet so trying to recenter them would be a problem. Plus I don't know how to do that. Looking more at the posts if I did something since they aren't centered it would look even more odd I think. I mocked...

    Another MaxJax Anchor Question

    Update: The replacement anchor that I switched out over a year ago started lifting again. It was flush with the concrete. I spent 30 minutes hammering it through the concrete and just got my tube of epoxy again. I didn't realize the first tube I had was a shelf life of a year so it was rock...

    drywall tools?

    I just picked up several marshalltown blue steel taping knives. Quality seems to be great. I did notice at the store they have s/s versions of the same thing and was wondering how people feel about that? I have read on several dry wall forums that pros prefer the blue steel for the fact that...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Added power closing rear trunk to my w211 09' e350. I already have STAR/DAS so I am able to program stuff on the car quite easily. I did bi-xenon headlights, power folding mirrors, unlocked things in the cluster...etc. This needed programmed. Got all parts off eBay with the exception of...
