    Considering Legacy HD6600MMA...

    I'm moving to a new home, pristine 450 sq ft slab, and want a glossy but reasonably priced floor. I don't mind touching up every now and then. The Legacy HD6600MMA looks ideal for my needs. Does HD6600 require acid etching?

    Cordless conundrum

    I need to expand my power tool collection but have some concerns about my choices. First - I'm a home improvement DIY'er, NOT a pro, so my needs and budget are below Bosch or Makita. I currently have a cordless Porter Cable drill and driver kit, which has performed perfectly for what I use...

    Epoxy Shield flat spots?

    I painted my 2 car with the Home Depot 2-car kit, did pretty good prep, including 4 rounds of pressure washing. There is one section that looks 'flat', and kinda sticks out? Any idea what causes this, and would a poly or other top coat rectify this? Overall it's ok, the slab was not in...

    Gloss over Sealer?

    I decided to go with H&C xylene-based Gull Gray Sealer for my garage - I need to keep a tight lid on the budget, and it won't see any hot car tires or heavy equipment dragged across it, only motorcycles parked on rubber mats. If I put on a topcoat of the Clear Gloss Sealer, will that improve...

    Painting Cabinets

    I got a great deal today on a 12 ft run of lower (35") cabinets. Brand new, taken from a business that went under before actually opening for business! :bounce: Great hardware, drawer slides, etc. Problem is they are a beige color laminate, and my garage is already gray/red/white. I have used...

    Pull-down attic ladder

    Home Depot has pre-fab pull-down attic ladder kits, who here has installed one, and what is the level of difficulty? I have opposable thumbs, and some basic skills, is this DYI, or "hire someone who knows WTF he's doing"? thanks

    Plastic or metal for surface mount?

    I need to add a couple ceiling fixtures as well as a few extra outlets along a wall over the workbench. The garage is finished, so I need to go with surface mount. Are the gray plastic boxes and pipes legal/safe for surface mount, or am I obligated to use the galvanized metal stuff? Plastic's...

    S. FL New Guy

    After about 10 years without a garage, recently moved to a great new place with a 2-car, and am looking forward to a complete garage redo. I'm really excited about this site, so many great idea and resources. I'm a motorcycle guy, so that will be the primary focus of my garage, but also do...
