    removing mortar from bricks

    My contractor, when he repaired some mortar cracking on the front of my garage, didn't clean off the mortar from the edges and face of the brick. So the portions repaired look different than the rest of the brick wall. So I'm thinking of either taking a Dremel tool or Angle grinder to these...

    red or grey newage bold?

    Getting ready to pull the trigger on some newage bold garage cabinets. Big question is... red or grey? I like red in general but concerned if it's a brighter red (not as good) or more of a deeper (Craftsman like) red (better). Thanks!

    rotary lift blue - locally available version?

    From my research, the blue that Rotary uses on their lifts is Signal Blue, RAL 5005. I haven't been able (based on online searches) to link that color to something that I may find locally at HD, Lowes, auto part store... Does anyone know by chance of an equivalent color that I could find at a...

    I just ordered a Rotary SPO10 2-post lift. (Looking forward to it). It comes with wedge anchors 5 1/2" in length, that I think will embed into the slab to a depth of about 4" or so. Where the posts are I had the slab poured thicker...~8" thick. And my concrete is 4000 psi with wire mesh. I...

    I'm about to order a challenger SA10 lift. Finalizing the lift placement and orientation. I'm probably over-optimizing, but I figure why not make it the best possible. So... what I'm looking for: -ability to have one car on the lift while having the second car in the garage -ideally I'd be...

    sikaflex self leveling sealant experience (good)

    I filled my saw cuts with Sikaflex self-leveling sealant today. First time I've used such a product. Worked great. The saw cuts were about 1" deep so I used a foam backer to make the depth about 1/4" (width of cut was about 1/8"+). Some have recommended taping to prevent messing up the...

    (structural) filler for door threshold

    My builder installed an entry door and a French door on the side of my garage, and the slab that the doors rest on is slightly sloped from the rear of the garage to the front (as it should be).
