    Freeze/thaw concrete spalling

    Didn’t find anything recent that was really applicable, so asking here. Not technically garage floor, but the driveway leading to the garage. The past 2 weeks we’ve had very unusual weather, like so much of the east coast region. Snow is not unusual, nor is ice, but we had a good 3-4” of ice...

    Shelf mounting (asking for a friend)

    A friend asked if I knew what type of bracket these shelves used. He said that he had them up years ago and it was a long strip the notch in the back went in to. Attached below some pics I got. Being it’s such a long board (and as I’ve found out the hard way in the past), I wondered if there...

    Slate recoat thought?

    I was touching up a few dinged spots on the garage floor and my wife peeked in (uh oh). “While you’re doing floor stuff, can you fix the entryway? We have slate tiles that were covered with some kind of clear coating that’s got some peeled/worn spots. Been that way for at least 40 years...

    Cleaning roof windows/skylights

    The roof has 2 fixed skylight windows and they really help with lighting. Every fall I go up on the roof (asphalt granule shingles, about a 30 degree slope, so walkable with care) and blowoff all the leaves and ****, and clean the windows, which get pretty filthy after a year of rain and soot...

    Concrete sealers

    I’ve got a 20 y/o stamped concrete driveway. In pretty good general shape. Every 5-7 years I power wash it and reseal. It’s been getting pretty grungy looking with areas where years of dirt collected and it’s black (from a beige tinted concrete) in areas where dirt lingers, and green in shady...

    Conversion to propane

    I’m thinking of converting my Dewalt generator to propane. It’s a 6000w unit with a Honda engine. We occasionally get outages here and there in the height of the heat of the summer, during winter storms, or hurricanes. Usually 6 hours or so, so more of a pain in the neck that anything...

    Floor anchors

    I didn’t know whether to post this here or in tools. So for now it’s here. I plan on floor mounting my drill press, weighs about 120#, most of it at the top. What’s the best way to anchor the base into the unfinished 40y/o concrete floor. No cracks in the floor currently. All sorts of ideas...

    Control crack filler

    I have stamped concrete leading from the garage pan to the driveway. There are control cuts in the concrete both lengthwise and widthwise spaced about 10’ apart. It’s been in place for about 5 years. Every fall I clear the acorns and twigs and stuff out of the cuts every few weeks so when we...

    Wood floor finish durability

    This is not exactly garage flooring related, but I'll ask anyway. The hallway from the garage to the house is 3/4" thick red oak tongue and groove board and it's been worn down to where the past finish/sealant is gone. I want to sand it down to clean wood, restrain, and reseal. We had the...

    A newbie's epoxy floor rework

    I've been reading posts and planning to redo the ugly garage floor. Finally have the time arranged to get the floor taken care of. I have the epoxy kit from Legacy and just need to get to it. The floor was acid washed and painted with one part Behr epoxy followed by the Behr clear sealant a...
