    I am a pretty new member and getting lots of info on this site. I have done searching/research. I know there will be various opinions on this and some strong both ways. A couple days ago I stopped in my local pawn shop. They didn't have what I was looking for, but a bunch of Mac tools caught...

    How long should it take 2 amatures to tile 2 car garage?

    garage floor not sloped to drains

    Thanks for the replies. That looks like a workable solution. Maybe I would have just done that instead of cutting drains into the concrete if I learned about them sooner. It would have been less expensive. It would be nice if I could get the water to the drains so not sitting in the garage...

    I have a 24 by 32 foot attached 2 car garage. The summer it was built we were doing a major remodel on the house. We built a new foundation next to the house with severe foundation problems then lifted the house to the new foundation that would give us a finished walkout lower level. We...

    I recently joined after following a link on the advrider [adventure motorcycles] forum to here. I have looked around a little and see there is lots of great info. I should have got here sooner-as you will see from posts I will make later, I will be looking at least partly to fix problems that...
