    Quartz work bench top.....dumb idea?

    This sounds like a yuppy question, but I have a bunch of gray quartz slabs left over from a project and was wondering if anyone has used quartz as a work top. I would obviously need to have a very secure base and thick subtop to secure it to. It would be used for my mechanic's bench. I'm just...

    2-story carriage house to auto hobby shop

    So I am new to the forum, but it looks like there are a bunch of good members on here. I have an old row house in DC that we have had for a couple of years. The main reason we bought the house was because of the 2-story carriage house in the back. It needs some work, but I knew I could turn...
