    Window, door and floor trim

    I want to put trim around the bottom of my shop to finish it off. I was thinking of using 1"x4" PVC and sealing the bottom with silicone before I set it in place. I also have two windows and a door to finish. I saw this from Home depot and thought maybe I could do the jam extensions and all the...

    Detached garage wiring question - 2-2-2-4 MHF

    I just finished running 2-2-2-4 MHF 200' total from house to shop. House has a 200a main panel and a 100a sub panel when they finished the basement. I tied into the 100a subpanel with the MHF wire for now to a 50a breaker I already had. On the shop side I have a 100a panel found here...

    Air Compressor Location

    I had the shell of my shop put up late last year. It's added on to a 20x20 existing detached garage. I plan to finish and heat the new part, but not the 20x20.

    Sealant Issue

    Hey guys. I just had my concrete done for a 28x40 shop. He "sealed" it, but now it is turning color and looks like ****. He is saying he applied it right and that it will turn to white over time. Not sure what he used for a product. It has turned more, but it is still a mess imo. Thoughts?
