    Attaching steel plate top to steel workbench frame

    I might have got ahead of myself when I built this frame as I assumed I'd either tack or bolt this plate steel top into place...but that was before I painted it. It came out pretty nice so now I don't really love the idea of grinding a clean spot just to then weld it. I'm leaning to...

    Hardie Board inside garage - we've flooded before

    Finally getting close to completion on the garage remodel/build. Last minute decision was to place 3x5 hardie board - the waterproof one - as the first course on the wall at the floor, and then transition to drywall above that. We've flooded twice in 20 years of living here but that was...

    Does it make sense to densify / seal before VCT?

    I'm still weighing my options. The first project in my new garage will potentially be a little messy so I'm looking at maybe VCT for a year or two but I don't want to ruin my chances for a cool concrete floor later on (grind and polish, I think) - so do I need to seal it somehow before VCT...

    New concrete - here’s my list

    I’m pouring new concrete for my garage soon. Here’s what I would love out of my concrete: Smooth, hard, stain resistant (as much as possible!). I don’t have a preference for patterns or under finish but I do like an industrial look. What process and products should I use to accomplish this...

    Finally doing my garage...floor help

    Hey guys - first post...I think (I think have another account here but could not find it.). We have a stilt house - so it's like a car port underneath. We are enclosing the entire thing and extending it a bit. The new concrete, I'm not too worried about. The existing old stuff...I've been...
