What's the best way to fix this on my garage floor? it looks like the builder might have fixed this before we moved in, but maybe his repair has failed? 1/4-20 wing nut for scale. Thanks in advance!

First, I don't need to TIG weld, it's just something I've always wanted to learn. I went and bought myself a spanking new Miller Synchrowave 210 with a Weldcraft 17 aircooled torch and the biggest tank of argon Norco would sell me - 150cf. I also went big and bought a Speedglas 9100xxi helmet...

I'm posting a link to new program developed by the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA). BHMA was formed in 1927 to represent door hardware manufacturers in North America. Until 3 years ago, BHMA's sole focus was for commercial/industrial locks and hardware. BHMA writes ANSI/BHMA...

Although it took longer to install than expected, it went up in about 8 hours yesterday. It's a 10K#, asymmetric "trio arm", extended height version since I have 16' ceilings in the 40x60 new construction shop. I chose the asymmetric version since we have a Mazda3, an old Corvette, a new BMW and...

My 40x60 shop is nearing completion, and I'm thinking about using Zolatone on the walls above the 4' high corrugated wainscoting. Anyone here have experience in using Zolatone in their shop or garage?

After finishing up our new home I'm finally back to building my 40x60 shop. I'm traveling on business this week, but today the builder set the roof trusses.He sent me these pictures, but something didn't look right - the pitch looked too low. When I called him he acknowledged they too were...

We're just about to pour the monolithic slab for my new construction 40'x60' shop; I'll be installng a 10,000# Rotary 2-post lift. Overall the slab will be 5-1/2" min of 3000 psi concrete, but I'm having a 48"x48" x12" deep footing centered under each post with a 24"x72" x12" "dog bone" tie...

It's time to order garage doors for the new house. I need a 10x8 and 20x8 so my choices were limited. I'd settled on either the Reynor Affina or one of the CHI doors, but just found out that Amarr's parent company is the company I sold my lock company to - ASSA ABLOY. As a result the Amarr doors...

I posted a few months ago on size of garage doors, and ended up planning for a 20x8 and 10x8 for the attached 3 car garage. We're building in podunk Montana and the garage door dealers are 65 miles away in Kalispell. We want insulated steel doors and, ideally, a simulated Carriage House Design...

It's time to order the electrical gear for our new all-electric home. One Square D i-Line HCN14526 panel board with three QBA222002 thermal magnetic 200A breakers feeding three 225A 40 space load centers. I can have QO load centers/breakers or save some $$ and use Square D Homeline. Any...

Found this forum while looking for some information on garage doors. We're building a new home on Flathead Lake in NW Montana and had just a few days to make last minute changes. The triple attached garage was to be 38'x38', but when I was checking how big/small that really is it looked like...
