    I settled for the Craftsman Premium Heavy-Duty Floor Cabinets. 3 of, One wardrobe, one all shelves, and one with two ball bearing drawers, plus one of their lesser 'have to assemble' Craftsmans that's only 32" wide. Got 5% off by taking out one of their cards.. Total $1500. give or take a few...

    Grinding Tool Comparisons and Prep Advice

    I've just completed grinding down my 3 car garage. As a DIY person, who's never tackled this ever before, here's my findings. I went to Home-Depot expecting to rent a Edco, As i was on a mission to keep the dust down, i thought the Edco was the answer to my problems, as it had the vac...

    moisture test, quick and effective ?

    I've been trying to buy Rustoleum's Moisture Stop just because it makes to sense given the inexpensive cost (i like to think of it as insurance !!!) , but can't find it locally for love nor money. Is there something else that does essentially the same thing, that will not interfere with the...

    moisture test, quick and effective ?

    I may just go straight in and use Rock Solid Moisture Stop. I live in SW FL, and the water table isn't all that far down... Plus we can get some serious rain in the rainy season, which raises the water table.. So maybe i'll just go with this to be safe. Even if its dry now, that may change...

    Anyone used an air scrubber while grinding their concrete?

    DUDE !!!! :beer: You've probably saved me a ton of work and hrs of cleanup ! I've been down to Home Depot TWICE to speak to their rental dept, and neither time did they know or suggest this machine, when i quizzed them on the project i was about to undertake... Also checking online, they have...

    moisture test, quick and effective ?

    What quick and effective methods could i apply to do a moisture test on my concrete that I'll be grinding this weekend ? I don't want to wait the 48hrs with plastic duck taped down to see if any rises. I know some say you can do it in 16hrs... But anyway, I should have all my grinding and...

    Anyone used an air scrubber while grinding their concrete?

    That's good to know. From your experience, do you think i'm better off going with the lighter Home Depot polisher, with no shroud, but a vac attachment, or the Home Depot, heavier concrete grinder, that has no vac or shroud ? Unfortunately no-one rents the Bosch, dewalt or Milwaukee...

    Anyone used an air scrubber while grinding their concrete?

    The home depot one that i'm going to rent, with the diamabrush has a vacuum attachment, but no shroud as far as i can tell. It's not as heavy as as the grinder, but the blade fits, and this one has the vacuum. I'll try and make a shroud using a piece of rubber and some gorilla tape. I'll also...

    Cabinetry for my garage

    I wish i had the skills to make my own cabinets, but i do not... I have to rely with what they're selling to me, as it seems overpriced for what you're actually getting. Went into Lowes and Home Depot today, and all they had was junk.

    Anyone used an air scrubber while grinding their concrete?

    Just spoke to Taylor Rental, regarding renting one of their concrete grinders. Topic of discussion was what to do about dust... He said, rent an Air Scrubber, HEPA500, which will apparently **** up the dust while you work. No-one seems to rent a concrete grinder that has a shroud and suction...

    Cabinetry for my garage

    I need one of my cabinets to be no more than 26" wide. Then i have 102" to fit other cabinets. Is there somewhere that sells something that's got different widths ? Google isn't coming up with a lot unfortunately.

    Draining your compressor

    One thing i recommend is always having a pair of ear muffs handy when opening those valves. The sound of whistling air, can be very loud, and damage your ears. I made that mistake ONCE and ONCE only ! my ears were ringing all night as a result. I also use a glove, cos it felt almost like it was...

    DIY Concrete grinders

    For those of you who ground your floor back to concrete, what tool did you hire and from where? Also did you do it wet or dry? Any advantages or disadvantages to either wet or dry. I went to Home Depot, and the tool they're telling me to use is this. Which doesn't have a vacuum attachment...

    Metallic Epoxy for a garage floor ?

    It's going to be a complete DIY. I can rent the diamabrush coating removal tool for $65 from Home Depot, then its around $50 for the machine... I'll probably just end up buying the smaller 4.5" Coating removal tool, to use on a rotary hand grinder, to clean up the edges. Then I'm onto buying...

    Draining your compressor

    I guess that was the answer i was probably already expecting. I live in SW Florida, which probably has the highest humidity in continental USA. For me, while still new to this 30gal compressor, on my old small compressor, most of the moisture seem to come out right at the end when all the air...

    6' Fluorescents to LED?

    I bought some LED's from Lowes.... Replaced my fluorescents. These ones you can extend, by just plugging into each other. So the end result is light across the entire garage, and not having to worry about additional wiring. Just keep plugging 'em in. It's a really nice bright white light !
