Ahaha. Yea I know I don't have it anymore, so someone must have taken it. I don't remember the details but I'm not one to just throw it out.

I still say do it. Isolation membrane a must, but if it doesn't move when you drive a car on it, i would not worry. If you are replacing a few tiles, why would you Re-grout the whole thing? Save a box of grout. This is a garage after all, who cares if its a shade different. This floor will...

I would fill those cracks. Paint on isolation membrane. Install tile on top without even worrying of thinking twice. Seriously what do you think will happen? Tile will be jumping off? You going to get holes or cracks in the tile? No. And if you do, its not like the repair will require you to...

Thank you. Yup baby number 2 is now 7 months old. Still not much progress other that a few light fixtures and that cell phone enabled garage closer. I figure another half year before i resume working on my own stuff, and not purely for clients.

No man. You connect the bridge thing with a wire to your router. It then communicates with the door closer switch/button via its own wifi. It has nothing to do with your home wifi. So if your router is too far away from the door, you may have issues. But you can always extend your network with...

And it somehow knows when the door is open and closed. I am telling you there is some voodoo **** going on here. With just the two wires doing it all.

That is 75$. I got them individually for less than 50 total for both. Ill see if the links still same price tomorrow.

Yup, both units in that link.

Yea, and Jack has ceramic. You know that dude with the pictures with the Porsche above. That is $0.50 ceramic.

People, unless you have custom cabinets, most cabinets are a standard size, depth wise. Standing and hanging ones. Very little deviation here. I don't see why you are worried that if you change your cabinets, all of a sudden you will have visible sub floors. And any competent carpenter can...

Yup. I build custom cabinets and kitchens. It is really a waste of good lumber and effort to put floor under the cabinets. Especially hardwood. You level out against the plywood subfloor, bring the flooring to the cabinets. If possible, we make custom L shaped supports for the entire cabinet...

Personally, RD has so much, and such a good rep here, that I would not go looking at others. The clacking problem is also quite easily addressed with some landscapers fabric under the tile.

Porcelain tile hands down, or up whatever. The durability, waterproof, spill proof, super tough.... I can keep going, but there is so much info here about tiles as is. Just do a quick search, or click on a link in my sig.

Do not do the uncoupling mat under the tile. Read Dakotas installation again. He uses a liquid membrane, that does the same and more.

I have to say thank you very much Mayday. I just did exactly what you did. Holy ****, this is some serious damn electrical voodoo magic. It took all of 5 minutes to do. And even the mounting holes were the same as the old opener. This combined with my dlink cameras. I can now have my orders get...

Seriously, my 5000 lbs X5 on one jack, half car lifted, jack on corner of a tile, and you aren't convinced. I stained my tile with Zar wood stain. That stain will stain a steel door. It came off my tile with a wire brush, no scratches. I dont know what else to say.

There is this link in my signature. Click it. Plus Dakota shows u a pic of his car on a jack. Im in NYC. So north east. The amount of snow and salt that goes into my garage varies, but i have no issue doing anything. Im sure same applies to everyone that installed tile.

check that there are no violations, no past due taxes, title search. Spend a bit for an inspector, if you can't do it yourself. Space like that would be north of a million in NYC. Even condemned. I would buy that for $7k in a second. ****, my watch is worth more than that. Seriously that is so...

How about tile. I understand the definition of cheap is relative, but if you can do the work yourself, $1sq ft is very doable.

I'm not a mechanic. Contractor and do a lot of fine cabinet making along with custom furniture. I have to be honest with you. If there something so delicate that I need a screw driver, I use that, a good ol fashioned screw driver. But my impact is always at my side. Just make sure you have one...
