No offense to those using it, but Thompsons is junk. Olympic Waterguard is significantly better, you can get about 2 years out of it. FYI I used to work at a Lowes and we treated some boards and left them out. Was a pretty good test. Go with solid color stains, Olympic Waterguard solid color...

Dupont Teflon in the blue bottle. I heard about it on motorcycle forums, guys were using it on their chains with great results. Tried it, agree completely, the stuff is amazing. It dries and leaves a thin coating of teflon, won't attract dirt like a wet lubricant. I can spin a tire and spray...

You might want to look into Bosch also. For around the price of a Dewalt you can get a Bosch thats (in my opinion) a hell of a lot better. I have a Bulldog small rotary hammer by them that I beat the **** out of and it still works like new. I personally can't stand anything that Dewalt makes...

Here is my "upside down" wall color (darker on top), I went with it thinking it would look good with the tall walls.

I did contracting for a summer and learned all about the 3-steps, tape, block, and skim. I have done my fair share of drywalling, and I HATE mesh tape!! For anything other than a little patch job, use paper tape and "hot mud", aka the kind you mix with water (the 90-minute stuff guys have...

I did this on my truck with a blow torch, but I also did this at a friend's house with the little mini blow torch you have and it worked fine. What we did was put the lug in a vice with the opening facing up (you could also lay vice grips flat on a table and use those to hold the lug) and heat...

My current house has insulated Wayne Dalton doors and they are pure garbage, steer clear of them. I was setting the downforce on the openers, I told her to hold her arms out and just offer resistance to the doors. The tops of the doors actually bent and cracked, and its not like she is some...

All this talk of GFCI's and garage refrigerators has me nervous. I have three outlets in my garage, one is a GFCI that also supports another of the outlets, and then one of the outlets is tied into a GFCI that is in the basement. What the hell is up with that?! Now you guys have me convinced...

Well, I spoke too fast about the floor drying and being done. This weekend was a foggy and rainy one and my floors, which "seemed" to have been dry for over a week, suddenly got sticky again. Damnit!! Now its dry out, and once again my floors feel dry, but I know that the next time it rains...

We did my 3-car garage Sunday with EpoxyGuard from CostCo. It says not to use below 50 degrees, its in the 60s during the day but for a couple of days it was in the 40s at night so I ran a heater set at 68 for the first two nights. Five days later now and the floor is still very sticky. I...

Is that paint on the bottom part of the walls or epoxy? I just posted about this, wondering how to coat the little walls around my garage, although your walls look so much smoother than the walls in my garage.

I have a 3-car garage that is ringed by a maybe 2' tall really ratty concrete wall on 3 sides. It has little foam bits stuck in it from where they poured it, but I can easily pressure wash those off. The finish on it is terrible and there are lots of protrusions sticking out. I bought two of...

I have a 3-car garage, about 610 square feet, and have decided to use the EpoxyGuard 100% solids kit from CostCo for the floor. Great kit, comes with roller, squeegee, even gloves and goggles. It also comes with paint flecks and non-slip additive. I needed two kits, each does about 480 square...
