    I was planning on doing the same thing 167, 224HS and 379UVA I was told by the ICI rep that I needed 2 coats of 224HS for it to be the proper thickness.

    Devoe coatings 521 or 224HS

    I am looking at the Devran 224HS vs Devfloor 521 The 521 is 100% solids. and UV resistant. The 224HS can be top coated with 379UVA which I believe offers UV protection. I have pricing on the 224HS 379UVA combo but not the 521 so I can't compare that way but I would expect the prices to be...

    I want to build a fence gate wide enough to drive through.

    Here is my 20 ft wide gate, it is split into 2 sections, a 12 and an 8, works ok, the posts are only 4x4 and the lane that it swings out on to is really rough. The wheels have little springs built in to go up and down with the grade. The 2 wheels on the 12 ft section just arent cutting it so I...

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    Not noisy at all. I built little rubber and foam pads for it to mount on. I think most people would expect it to cause resonance and vibration being up there, I suspected it might but that way too but it is not the case at all. I have the air intake routed outside, that alone cuts down on...

    Vacuums!!! the built in kind

    When I built my garage I plumbed it with household size central vac pipe and outlets. I don't do much if any woodworking, just sucking up metal dust and all the other types of dust. What type of vacuum should I look to get? Are there any of the household type units that are more heavy duty...

    Radiant floor heat & overhead propane heater?

    Well you got to look at what it will cost you to install the second heater, and what it will cost to run when you want it on. Compare that cost with what it would take to heat the slab up to 65 or so. You might also consider installing a setup back controller with outdoor reset on your radiant...

    LiftMaster 3800 Question

    I don't think this is something you can go by, back in January when I bought my first one the box said Elite series, the opener that I bought a month ago said the same thing one the box. The build date on my most recent opener was 5/27/7 and it was one of the first that came with the new style...

    Radiant floor heat & overhead propane heater?

    It all depends how often you are going to be out there. Either way I would beef up your attic insulation if possible.

    LiftMaster 3800 Question

    It looks like they all come with the new style remotes now. I have two openers and the last one I got came with the new style. Watch out for the wall units though the tabs on the button that pops off broke on mine, they are really thin, LM sent me a new one so now I have an extra if I can...

    Building a Gate - a big one.

    Here are the gates I just built this year. One is 8' the other is 12' I wanted to match the rest of the fence so I made the frames out of 1x1 steel and then bolted the Home Depot cedar panels on. I don't use the gates that often so it was good enough for me. The hinges are some old ones from...

    Hydronic heat source for 16x26 garage

    No, actually I think our elec rates are among the lowest in North America. We sell power to the States and other Provinces. But that wasn't really the deciding factor. Efficency, versatilty of boiler placement, not having to dig a 100' trench, the cost of the gas line and the unknown cost of...

    Radiant heat questions

    You will need a boiler, circ pump, manifold, expansion tank. If you would like to zone the system that can be done with actuators on the manifold. Depending on the brand of tubing you use the manufactuer might have fittings that work with their product. You really need a professional to tell...

    Pictures of radiant tubing installed

    There is no reason at all to fill it with water. It doesn't even need to be pressurized during the pour. All you need to do is pressurize it and leave it for a few hours to see that it doesn't leak down. In all if you bought quality tubing designed for this application then it is very...

    Pictures of radiant tubing installed

    You want to fasten it to the mesh in one way or another but be careful not to tie the wire too tight. The ties I used where made from aluminum and are designed to break if they are done too tight. There is a spinning hook tool I used to tie them.
