If you are also doing the walls, even at a later time, you can get what's called F&J Trim. No need for separate J trims. Looks like this. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT1OyreJ-OeOTZQUknMZlWPYvzzyfa6rvrtCTooDUO05zOPaKV4

do a sawcut next to the wall to make the slab free floating and then mud jack the slab.

What wood species would be the best choice for 2x4 INTERIOR girts. The girts will be horizontal attached to post that are 8 ft apart. The spacing between the girts will be 2 ft. I am planning on hanging OSB or Drywall. Thanks

First attached 2 inch foam flat across the top of the 2 headers. Then 4'x8'x1 inch foam sheets screwed to the underside of the truss using 1x3 for support. The 4x8x1 then meets the 2 inch. This will allow approx. 16 inches from the bottom cord of the truss to the highest point on the 4x8x1 for...

can you use a nut cert nutsert or rivet nut? (google it) https://www.harborfreight.com/45-piece-threaded-insert-riveter-kit-1210.html

Thanks Platonic Solid. Your expertise and willingness to go above and beyond to help others on this site is appreciated. When you say 10' x 10' spacing does that mean that I start 5 ft from the wall then every 10 ft from there? like this...

In another thread Platonic Solid detailed the layout below for a garage that is slightly larger than mine. My garage is 40x40x14 with three doors that are 10w x 12H across the front. Will Platonic Solid's layout work if I install the lights spaced at 4ft 15ft 25ft 36ft each way? How much...

I have the plate exchanger. 18 years and no problems yet (Eddie Floyd ). Endless hot water.

I have one. 18 years old. Only one problem with a temperature sensor. Very quiet. Can stand next to it and have a normal conversation. No jacket loss. You can put your hand anywhere on the cabinet while running and it will feel about room temp. Make sure there are multiple installers in...

Just curious as to how much heat a light like this or similar https://www.ledlightingwholesaleinc.com/EHB2-162-p/ehb2-162.htm might generate. Mounting it directly on a metal ceiling that has polyiso on the other side of the metal. Would it heat up too much to cause any problem that would...

Glad you replaced the panels. Wasn't as difficult as it seemed. Now the dents won't "wink";) at you every time you pass by.

Menards is about $2 per ft. Look on their site. They cut it by the inch and charge rounded up to the next ft. So around $40 per 20 ft...

I purchased a craftsman rubber hose many years ago. Lifetime guarantee. Replaced it once. Problem is on both hoses, my hands turn black from the rubber every time I touch it.

I 'd also put some blocking behind the meter socket to prevent it from pushing in the raised ribs on the metal panel once it is screwed back in as it is in the picture. Maybe some pvc 1 x 2 https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=740289&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1519497775

Replace the panel. Otherwise you will be glancing at it every time you walk by. Call the builder. He should have a good relationship with his supplier and be able to get a new panel in a day or two. My builder had to replace a panel that was damaged. He noticed it in the morning and had the...

Is there a way to just unbolt the meter pan and push the elec cable back out enough so you could slide the panel out? Then cut the screws flush & replace with a new panel? Maybe you pay for the panel and get the electrician to do the above. A picture of the meter pan and surrounding area would...

roofing nails scattered on the floor at the stopping point. You'll learn your lesson the first time.:evil:

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I have tried CLR. It didn't touch it. Made no difference. Based on the replies above, I'll try Bar Keeper's Friend first to see if it will work. If not, I'll move on to Iron Out or Rid O Rust. Can't really rinse it off well because it's on my basement...

I have some heavy rust stains on my basement concrete floor from where my oil boiler had a slow leak that went unnoticed. I have tried vinegar, peroxide, baking soda, scrubbing lightly with a brass brush with no luck in removing it. The stains are really dark in some places. I am hesitant to...
