I painted my cement garage floor with epoxy paint and it looks great. But the cars front tires will peel the paint off after it sits over night. Any suggestions how to prevent this? Repainting the spots every few weeks is getting a little old. Appreciate any insight. Thanks.

I painted my garage floor with epoxy paint. Looks great but the hot tires especially in the summer peel of the paint under the tire when it sits over night. Just under the front tires where most of the weight is. Back tires are fine. Is there a protective clear coat I can apply over just the...

My electrician friend is advising me on hooking up 220 heat in my garage. He had me buy 40 feet of 8/2 wire and a dual 30 amp (15x2)cb which I have run from the box to the garage ceiling myself. He is coming over to do the hook up. My question is how big a heater can I run with this set up. Im...

So I decided to heat my new garage. I love the idea of jumping into a nice warm car with instant heat and warm seats. But the first thing that everyone says is whoa dont heat your garage or your car will rust. I doubt that. Sounds alot like old wives tales and sour grapes from folks without...
