    Race Deck- Twelve Years in a Pickup Bed

    I've used Race Deck in my garage for years and have been very satisfied. I've also used it in pickup trucks to protect the bed floor. Today I pulled out the Race Deck to wash and snapped a couple of photos, which are attached. The section shown I've had in three different trucks over the last...

    Pressure Test Fitting for Radiant Heat System

    Before filling my newly installed radiant heating system I want to pressure test the piping joints and six zones of pex as a unit. The most logical hookup location for a test fitting would be the fill or drain valve connections, which have standard "garden hose" threads. Is there an air test...

    I recall a thread not long ago in which someone asked about touch up paint for a Bend Pak lift. I have found that Krylon's "True Blue," available in spray cans at many hardware stores, is the same color as my lift.

    Epoxy Coat Six Month Report

    It's been six months since I applied Epoxy Coat to a new 1500+ sq. ft. garage. I don't have any UV issues so I did not use the UV protection coating. I do have a heavy flake in the finish. This is a combination workshop/garage so I do a fair share of various automotive and woodworking type...

    My lesson learned on removing skunk odor from a garage: The only effective solution is to physically cut out and remvove the material contaminated by the skunk's spray. I'll spare you the long version of the story but there were no detergents, disinfectants, deodorizers or other chemicals...
