    Another Porcelain Tile Project

    Are you locked into the running bond pattern and rectable tiles? There's gonna be some really small pieces. A big square tile would seem to be an easier layout given those intersecting joints.

    Another Porcelain Tile Project

    You've poured SLC over the joints. If there's movement in the slab, there's no possible way to predict where (or if) the SLC is going to crack. Seems to me you're in no man's land now. Maybe should use a proper isolation membrane?

    Direct lift 9k overkill? or more stable

    Are the ramps wider? More width between the posts? More clearance under the ramps at full height?

    Improving visibility for driving on/off 4 post lift

    Are you able to get lined up really well before you approach the lift or do you have to turn into it? For me, it's all about getting lined up and then trusting the line. I even have to drive under one lift to get to another in a tandem bay. All the while trying to make only micro adjustments to...

    New house purchase. Garage question

    Are you certain that a 30' RV will fit inside the 30' deep garage? Assuming it does fit, and you use the center bay, will you be happy with 2 small garage spaces, where the one on the left will only be accessible from the overhead door? At first glance the obvious solution, assuming the bay...

    What's better than a bigger shop?

    I'm on a site that features very cold, windy winters and very hot, humid summers. Officially USDA zone 7A, but closer to a 6B for my location. I have a 1650ft2 garage 12 and 17 foot ceilings. Newer construction, heavily insulated. R23 in walls ~R40 in ceiling. Residential doors and windows...

    Porcelain Tile Floor Done!

    Congrats on finishing. I'm entering year three of my large install. It's not easy. Some of my grout (acrylic) has been down for two years, and it looks like new. Enjoy your space!

    Porcelain installer

    I'm a home gamer, but have done a decent amount of tiling projects. The garage is an entirely different beast than a kitchen, bathroom or backsplash. In terms of sq footage (obviously) but also just working with large format tiles. It ain't easy if you care about how close to perfect you get...

    Multiple studs at random spacing

    Get a Franklin 710 sensor. You will learn to trust it after only a couple of uses.

    Maybe file a complaint with United Rentals?

    65 in the shop when it's 33 outside?

    The Mitsu Hyper heat units pull heat at temps below zero F. Mine have no issues with 6B/7A winter climate here.

    Lumber prices going up in your area!

    Wait. So you're saying that lumber is expensive?

    Cannot imagine why there is an electrical supply issue in the area.

    Concrete Cookie for Pole Barn

    A concrete disc 16" X 5" would weigh close to 100lbs. That's not something I'd want to try to drop into a hole.

    Non typical Garage doors.

    Haven't barns had this type of door for centuries?

    Anyone have the Makita cordless 16" chainsaw?

    No issues with mine. Purchased it for a fence project of all things. Haven't done any real tree work with it yet. Just topping fence posts and trimming oak boards to length. For small projects, it seems like a great tool. Also switched to a Makita 18v string trimmer this past year for yard...
