    Rust Bullet and flakes without Clear?

    Just cleaned new garage floor prepping for Rust Bullet tomorrow. Question - can I do the 2 coats of Rust Bullet, then apply flakes. And not apply a clear coat? I remember when I did Epoxy-Coat about 8 yrs ago it was 1 coat, flakes, no clear. Thanks

    Mr Heater 45k or 75k ?

    With these both on sale at Northerm, I'm ready to buy. Question is which size? My detached garage is 30x40 with a 10' ceiling. I have a small 12' "tray" ceiling over the lift area. Insulation is R13 in walls, R30 in ceiling. Garage doors are insulated, as are the 4 small windows. Richmond...

    Garage finished

    Guess its time to call it complete. Started this 40x30 last July. My 15 yr old son and I did all the work except for hanging the trusses and roof shingles. I did all the wiring. Used Epoxy-Coat on the floor. Looks great & spills clean up super easy. I orgininally had a 10 foot ceiling with...

    Lift Wiring Help please

    Just had my BendPak XPR-10ACX installed yesterday. Jeff & the folks at BendPak were great during my research phase and hooked me up with a local installer. Looks great. Now the issue I made for myself - I wired the new garage last year and put a dual gang plastic box in the wall near where the...

    Sealing OSB workbench top?

    I had a few sheets of 3/4" tongue & groove OSB left over from attic floor, so I used it as my work bench top. Seems like it might be a good idea to seal it with something. Any recommendations? Thanks, Ron

    Lift & expansion joint

    Was getting ready to order a Bendpak XPR-10C lift, when I came to the realization that the guy who poured the floor cut an expansion joint right through the middle of the bay where the lift will go. So looks like the lift pads would be right over the cut. I assume this is not acceptable...

    Ceiling color?

    Question for those with gray wall color- is your ceiling white or gray? I plan to paint the lower 4' of my walls medium gray, and the upper part silver gray. Not sure if the ceiling would be ok in gray. Any thoughts? Thanks, Ron

    Truss mod for lift

    Afternoon, I've read several posts here with people asking about modifying trusses. The usual answer was telling them to have an engineer approve the work. So I actually had the truss company do a design mod so I could raise the middle of the bottom chord from the current 10' ceiling height up...

    wire: 10-2 or 10-3 ?

    Question about when to use 10-2 or 10-3. For my 240v welder circuit I planned to use 10-2 wire with a 50amp breaker. The welder plug has 3 prongs, so I assume 10-2 is correct. Or is it? Same question about the 240v lift circuit. My 240v compressor was previously connected with 12-2. Thanks, Ron

    Thru-wall Heat/AC ?

    Hi, I'm just finishing up a new 40x30 detached garage with 10 ft ceiling. Has anyone tried a thru-wall Heat/AC unit, like what a hotel room uses? Thanks, Ron
