Here are a few basic options: - Bridge with Powerline networking adapters. These are easy to install, but can be quirky based on your electrical layout. In this case your electric cable provides the bridge and you can use WAPs or directly connect at the endpoint - WiFi bridging with...

Amazing find, congrats!

I find the Flooring section extremely helpful and would hate to see it go away or limited in a fashion that prevents professionals from giving suggestions and advice. That said, I don't have to moderate it and I can understand your frustration. How about requiring all 'sales' posts to be...

We just had our whole house re-piped with PEX due to pinhole leaks in the original (~13yr old) copper pipe. The pipes all looked perfect on the outside, but on the inside it looked like a small cone of corrosion which matched up with the pinhole on the outside. Around this area, many contend...

The phone-style option seems doable, there are devices with built-in intercoms from Panasonic, AT&T and so forth. The classic "wall panel with pushbutton"-style intercoms may be a bit more tricky/expensive. Wikipedia has a fairly good article with some links. When our family moved into our...

The pros will likely have a more complete response, but while researching for the project I ran across the following: What is an anti-fracture membrane? The internal make-up of this membrane is such that movement in the concrete is not directly transferred to the tile. Although the membrane is...

Given the success many here have had with porcelain tile, it is my first choice for an ongoing garage renovation. The combination of durability, easy maintenance and upscale look creates a solid driver. Unfortunately, predominately clay soil and California's penchant for earthquakes give me...

If I'm not mistaken, the appearance of "2 shades of red" is a visual illusion caused by the surface structure of the FreeFlow style tile.

I'll readily admit that my mini two-car garage here in SoCal does feel quite a bit like a closet when we have both cars inside. These tract houses aren't that generous with garage dimensions and the builder likes to cram in furnace/blower/WH as well. That said, our last place only had a single...

Like NewShockerGuy, I've been researching high-capacity folding work surfaces and ran across the same options he's linked. The home-built "fold-up" examples Chris and Jack posted are very solid, but I'd be very interested in some "fold-down" designs that provide similar functionality with a...

As was mentioned, there's a large price range with security cameras. I've found that ACTi offers some good mid-range IP cameras with balanced features and realistic prices. One of their newer models, the KCM-7311 (http://www.acti.com/product/detail/Fixed_Dome_Camera/KCM-7311), is outdoor-rated...

DISCLAIMER: I'd recommend having a licensed structural engineer review your installation plans and perform the necessary calculations. Overhead lifts are dangerous and individual installation requirements depend on a wide variety of factors that can't be properly evaluated online If you're...

Looking forward to seeing the Racedeck installed! Been lurking for about six months, collecting ideas for my own (much more modest) space. Do you plan on installing anything under the Racedeck for slip/noise control? Have seen a few debates on the topic and am interested to know which way...
