    Recessed lighting electrical question

    I'm planning on installing recessed lights in my basement during a remodel, yes its not a garage but one could have the same problem. Living in the Chicagoland area we use conduit only.

    Insulate occasionally heated garage?

    I've spent quite a few hours looking around on the internet about insulating garages. Right now its still a coin toss what I will do unless someone has some good advice for me. I have a brick attached garage with no living space above it in the Chicagoland area. The garage is not heated and...

    Drywalling my ceiling

    I'm continuing work in my garage. I had a new concrete floor poured and later Floorguard coated my concrete. Prior to finding this website for research, my concrete contractor did not put a vapor barrier down, but so far so good, no problems. I ran conduit adding more outlets and lights and now...

    Better than epoxy?

    It's been 60 days since my new garage floor was poured. I've done research on floor coatings since the pour but I'm still not sure what to do. I've read the posts on POR15 and Industrial Rustoleum but I also found companies that coat the floors with a polymer or ceramic based formula. Companies...

    Epoxy floor without vapor barrier

    Has anyone had a good long lasting experience with an epoxy floor without a vapor barrier under the concrete slab? I've been bothered for the last 5 weeks after I had a new concrete slab poured in my garage without a vapor barrier. I wish I'd done some research before the pour. My garage though...

    Floorguard

    Has anyone used the company Floorguard to have a coating put down on their garage floor? Reading the website, it sounds like the coating is not an epoxy but some kind of resin. My garage floor was just poured two weeks ago and I'm starting the research now. I tried the search here for Floorguard...
