    Roof coatings?

    Got a roof that is faded. Anyone use any of the elastomeric coating? Everything I read says 2 coats required. Roofing guy quoted $1100 for a 24x30 building.

    Best way to dispose of 55 gallons of waste oil

    Quick lube place near me uses their waste oil for heat and to heat water for their car wash. I know they have ran short in the winter and had to buy used oil as they didn't generate enough. Might look at that option?

    Floor Scrubber for Concrete Shjop/Warehouse Floor

    Another to add is if you have a lot of dust the floor really needs to be swept first. Scrubbers are not made to cleanup a lot of debris. As Notgrownup said batteries will cost you as much as the scrubber you posted. There is nothing cheap about scrubbers.

    Floor Scrubber for Concrete Shjop/Warehouse Floor

    Cylindrical scrud heads are higher maintenance. A good Tennant unit would be a 5700. They went out of production a couple years ago but are good solid units. They have less electronics than the new ones. Clarke parts are higher than Tennant. Urethane blades are the most oil resistant. I work...

In my job we look at the unit to be repaired and if it looks...

    Painting OSB

    I did one coat of oil based primer, Kilz or similar product with 2 coats of exterior latex. I put the smooth side out. One wall has been there 3 years and the rest didn’t get done until a little over a year ago. So far I am happy.
