Well you are just showing off with those pictures. Looks amazing. Only difference is that my yard is all concrete. 2 friggen layers of it at that. It seems at one point, the previous owners had a yard with grass on the borders, and a few in ground tree areas. I guess they decided that they...

Aturf seems like they know their stuff. I'm going to call them and see if I can pry some knowledge from them. It seems like grass around here is becoming extinct. Every person I see, is either trying to get concrete over it, or fill it with rock. I just don't get it. I feel like I am going...

Brooklyn garage. Yea. I plan to install myself. I have every tool possibly needed. I looked at a few vids online, and it seems pretty straight forward. Seems that one would just glue it to the concrete. Seam tape for the edges, and cut with a knife. I thought it would be something more...

Some people would rather ***** than give advice. If sheetrock is not up, you can do blocking behind the studs for location that you know you will need to attach stuff too. Like so. http://www.wilkersonproperties.com/SanteFePark-Lot%2032/Sante%20Fe%20Park%20-%20Lot%2032%2004-20-09%2001-t.jpg...

I want to put Turf in my back yard. I really want something that is not concrete. I can't justify ripping all of the concrete out, and my schedule is too insane to give a **** about grass. I also live in the city, and my yard is not really accessible from outside. Either through my house, or...

My introduction to electricity is something I will never forget. My father in law's father, is old. He was an electrician back in Russia. Became a nice one in America. Did everything else imaginable with wiring, alternator spool fixing, all that annoying ****. What I came to realize, is that he...

I picked up my used X5. First thing I decided to do was swap out all the oil. Now, this ***** has a lot of oil in it. 10 liters in the engine, 5 each drain and fill of trans, both diffs, transfer case. I get it up on ramps, all 4 wheels. Wow, it is so high up, I can use my old 5 gal oil drain...

Wow, holy **** this is an awesome thread. It is mind boggling how much space everyone has to be able to undertake all of these ginormous projects. Serious skill there RB. Loving it.

I got 2. Thanks again. Been looking for a decent long needle nose.

Sweet. Thanks.

It seems like a screwdriver with sockets. Basically the same thing as knurling on an extension.

I had a ton of limestone from another job. Tiled an outside porch for the inlaws a few years now. No real staining or issues. Only thing, is that it is super slippery when wet. We installed those stick on anti slip strips along the normal walk path. We didnt seal it either. It is still tougher...

Tearoff is no joke. And depending on how thick the old roof it, you are looking at a **** load of back breaking work. Last time I did it. I charged $5 a sqft to remove. So if you have 1000sqft, that would be $5k to just remove. That job cost the owner $15k to re-roof. I was supposedly cheap too...

You can always reinforce a joist if it comes down to it. But this is a job you do once. The roof will always need maintenance. Patch, tar, inspection, some ****, for ever. Oh and circles, are not the best thing you can possibly seal on a flat roof. It has become my understanding through doing...

I'm also in NYC. Drill the wall dude trust me. Every penetration you do on the flat roof is a pain in the *** eventually. Have the guys estimate how heavy the roof it. I have seen some crazy ****. I had to do my roof, and had 7 layers on it. Full, overloaded 20 yard container when I removed...

Here is the thing. I do this a lot. Not even quantities that you need. One, that is a **** load, and you should get good pricing, from almost anywhere, even big box. Two, big box not the worst in the world. Their lumber is usually indoors. That means dry. They also have some sort of climate...

Hahaha thanks. I too was glad I had a garage finally. It's no small feat in NYC, so I was proud of that. But I quickly realized that it was no way for me to be comfortable in it. The mold smell, constant wet floor, extreme dust, cracked up, and dark. Dark and moldy were the biggest problems that...

Thank you for the kind words. This is a thread meant to show how durable and maintenance free tile floors are. Nothing more, nothing less. Some people got upset. Interwebz. I have 2 kids now so the progress has been slow. When I have some real content, I will update. Hang in there. And make...

Are you trying to say that your floor can do this. lol. Nice.

Moar pictures please. And good job NUTTSGT
