Photos fixed, thanks.

Our house and asphalt driveway are both 25 years old. I don't know whether the driveway originally met up with the garage floor and has settled over the years, or whether this was an original "feature." There's a 1 1/2" deep gap between the concrete garage floor and the asphalt, and a 2 1/2"...

Thank you Shea, you are a gem.

Thank you. I've taken "being an *** to an artform." :) And I will be watching for that thread...you describe a common problem!

Not to hijack???? Thanks Shea, I appreciate the response. I understand your comment about the water having someplace to go. Right now if *her* car is wet, the water migrates to behind *my* car. If my car is wet, it pools behind my car. The low spot is sufficiently minor that I'm not sure the...

Ha! That's the reason I sold my 3000...moved into a house with a well and hardwired boiler. Had nothing critical to plug into it, other than the coffee maker. Miss that little guy. What a sweet genny. I don't think I'm going to have the same emotional attachment to the 22K Generac...but...if I'm...

How will Ardex or other self-leveling underlayment do when the floor is prepped for epoxy or polyurea coating? Will that feather edge crumble? Or perhaps the finish team would prep the feather edge like a crack...protecting it from the action of the grinder.

I got a quote from a local company, Next Level Concrete Coatings (New England) which seems to do a lot of polyurea floors. Sales person seemed to know what he was talking about, has been with the company ten years, wasn't pushy, and gave me a reasonable quote for our 21x22' garage. Floor is...

Coming up on six years and payoff of our system. Very pleased overall!

We went with a local SunPower Premier dealer five years ago. The same people answer the phone today and the company is growing nicely. The company installed 37 panels on our upper roof, did a very clean install with the wiring hidden (as opposed to running down the side of the house). Between...

When I changed *cars* I immediately ran into a problem with LED/HomeLink interference. The HomeLink in the new (to me) car would open the door (as the light was off) but would not close the door (light was on). My fix was to change brand/type of bulbs. I went with a dimmable bulb, as some...

There's another story here: "Jennifer Aviolo was relaxing her husband in the back yard" Hmmm... ....and the posted article (in an update) downgrades him from husband to fiancé !

Quoted six weeks. Actually took 10. New Haas 2" doors installed this week. So much nicer than the old fiberboard doors...

I'm redoing our deck and was pleased to see that mahogany is still at $2.99/linear foot, exactly where it's been for the past couple of years. The deck is not huge, so the wood will cost about $2K. Wife wants to do plastic, but was warned by a contractor that it would be too hot to use for a...

Are you talking about a garage ceiling penetration, pulling air into the attic? That might violate building code... If you had a fire in the garage while you're working on your carburetor, that fan will pull the fire into your attic and then the whole structure is gonzo. Might want to rethink...

No, I always finish my proj

Air suspension. Bag it and lower on your way in/out.

I would have if they were my steaks!

Even before a security system or cameras, I'd start with these: 1. Noisy dog 2. Yard and window signs from alarm company (doesn't have to be real...) 3. Motion sensor lights 4. Fake TV LED I have a couple of each of these scattered around the house, although the dog is more of a lover than a...

Over time, the temperature inside will drop to match a constant temperature outside. And heat *transfer* (cooling) might happen more quickly in the wind. However, wind chill is purely a measure of *perceived* temperature. It has no relevance to inanimate objects, such as a building.
