I finally have my garage floor leveled (1/2 slab raised by mud jacking) and now need to contract with a company to install the floor. What are the things that I need to look for from the contractors such as product type ( epoxy, polyaspartic, clear coat etc.), steps needed to be taken, etc. I...

I want to put an epoxy floor in my garage. I have a 4 post lift and seeing what the posts have done to the currently painted floor, I’m wondering what I can do to keep the new epoxy floor looking nice. What have others done if anything? My lift is not bolted to the floor and I have casters in...

I'm setting a few 4x4 treated posts. The second one might have been a bit wet and little longer to set up. I thought that I read somewhere that if the concrete was slower to cure that the concrete would be stronger but I might be misremembering :) Anyway, I set it yesterday and we're...

I have a seldom used second driveway that is asphalt. The driveway is 20 years old and looks old and ugly. What is the best product to use to give it some new life. There is quite a bit of the asphalt aggregate showing and a couple places where I patched it with Aquaphalt. At Lowes I see...

27 year old garage floor. Over the years one side of the garage floor has settled more than the other half, and has caused some of the concrete along the seam to chip out. I don’t believe the floor is still settling and I want to fill in those chipped out areas. What is the best product to do...

I need some advice on what to do in my garage. We have a garage that the concrete was poured over a metal deck on half of the slab. The other half the concrete was poured over dirt. Over the past 10 years or so the metal deck poured side has popped the concrete in a few areas along the middle...

I'm mostly a hobbyist DIYer. I do some automotive work, have a '65 Mustang and built a FFR Roadster, etc. I have a very old and cheap 1/2" and was thinking of getting one of the 20V Extreme or Earthquake from HF. What is the general opinion of which to get, or other :)

I have some cabinetry and heavy tool storage stuff to hang in my shop. The walls are concrete block which present a bit of a challenge. I have some strike anchors and wedge anchors that I have used in the past. The work well but the problem is if I use them the end of the bolt and nut will...

We have oak floors in a 20 year old house that need to be refinished. I'm guessing less that 2000 sq. feet. What should I expect to pay for sanding, staining and poly? Thanks

I have socket wrenches but missing various sockets. Who has the best price on full sets of sockets? Amazon seems decent on Craftsman stuff. Is there another that I should look at?

There is a small room in our basement, it's a long story, that has a dirt floor. I'm in the process of putting in a concrete floor but there is no way that I can make it completely level and smooth. I'm planning on putting down some leftover VCT which will telegraph and undulation in my work...

We built our house 21 years ago and my first gas water heater ruptured today. I'm thinking of going tankless this time. My current system is 2 55 gallon gas units in series with a full house recycling pump that has a 24 hour timer. Here are my questions: What brand is the best or do you guys...

I know some of you went the build it yourself way here but I'm not a great welder and just want an inexpensive rotisserie for a Mustang project. I'm looking at the Greg Smith Equipment and another one that seems to be under different names. All with the CR-3000 in the name like Workhorse...

I want to build a wall mounted station/cabinet that will hold my battery powered drills and drivers and charging bases. Does anyone have plans or pictures of theirs that I can "steal" ideas from? ;) I was thinking of a slotted rack on top and something to hold the chargers in. Thanks, Brian

A while back somebody posted a discussion and plans for a storage cabinet that used the Harbor Freight 20 bin storage boxes. I printed out the plans but have misplaced all but the front page :dunno: Whoever that was that posted it can you post it again here of if someone has that thread...

I know that Rockler and other stores have roll around carts that hold clamps but I think I would rather them be on some sort of wall mounted solution. If you have a good solution post a picture and describe it here ;)

I"m considering VCT for my shop. Armstrong sent me a catalog but it's hard to estimate the color of the actual floor because of variations in the tile. Those that have done black and white checkerboard, what tile did you go with? Armstrong sent me a sample of Chromaspin in Lamp Black and Zinc...

I have a small room in my walkout basement level that has a dirt floor. It would make a great storage room but the dirt floor isn't so great! I would like to pour a concrete floor in there. A friend of mine has a small concrete mixer that will just fit inside the door. I'm thinking that I...

I'm having an issue with one of my OverHead Door brand door opener. I can operate it from the switch on the motor but not from the remote or switch on the wall. I've checked the sensors and have tested the switch. All the connections are tight. What are my next diagnostic steps? If I have to...
