    Honing/grinding exterior concrete

    My new floor jack

    New floor jack arrived this morning. It's a Compac 1.5T-HA. There made in Denmark and are significantly more expensive than the Chinese models, but this will probably be handed down to my grandchildren. http://www.calfinn.com.au/images/stories/pdf/Simple%20Jack%20Brochure%201%205THA.pdf

    Re epoxied my shed floor

    Had a big dust storm last month which gave me a good reason to clean out my shed. Never really liked my off white floor colour as it showed every dirty foot print, etc. It did have it's benefits of reflecting light and finding nuts and bolts on the floor. Anyway, decided since everything was...

    G'day from Oz.

    Came across this site today. What can I say, I'm in awe of some of your garages, sheds, workshops and projects. Once I stop salivating I'll post a pic of my 7M X 4M shed. Cheers, Jon
