How's my prep? Hand troweled floor was kind of "fuzzy" and bumpy. I used an angle grinder with diamond cup wheel (yes it took forever). It's now much faster and not shiny but it feels quite smooth to the touch. Is it too smooth for a thin film coating like rust bullet? Should I do anything...

I have a 720 sq/ft garage slab that was poured 2 1/2 years ago. Really nice slab, hand troweled but smooth. I purchased Legacy Industrial HD-39 and applied it a few weeks ago. At the time I purchased the HD-39, I had intended for this to be the only product on my concrete. The HD-39 has made...

I'm placing a 20 amp gfci outlet on the exterior of my house. The optimal location for the wire to exit the house is ten feet away from the outlet location. I was planning to use 1/2 inch sch 40pvc conduit. It will be under a deck approximately 8 inches above grade. Is this considered a wet...

I'm really considering these two options. Anyone near Milwaukee/Racine/Kenosha that has one? If you would be so kind to let me see it, that would be awesome. I haven't seen any of these working or installed. Hard to make decisions without seeing the quality and functionality firsthand. I...

So last year I had a garage built. I had incorporated some design details that I had hoped would allow a car lift. Fast forward to today and I'm ready to buy said lift. I haven't decided on which lift yet. Originally was planning and a regular 2-post asymmetric lift but now that my garage is...

Just checking to see if I'm doing this right. Where should I put the sealant? Should I nail on the exposed part of the flashing and cover the heads with sealant? Should I tuck under the last layer of shingles? I'm a total noob at this.

I'm installing a Beacon Morris 75k BTU unit heater in my 24x30 garage. I haven't committed to a location yet, thats what I'm looking for advice on. Using an old drywall lift, I put in one location I'm considering. On the back wall pointing straight ahead towards the overhead/man doors...

I have a detached garage with some nice exterior lights I'd like to be able to turn on from the house. Distance is about 50ft. I have conduit buried and a subpanel in the garage. I doubt I could pull wire. That got me thinking about wireless switches. I've seen some at stores but not sure...
