Not sure if this post should be somewhere else, if so please move. I have 3 older bar style swivel stools in the garage that I’m looking to replace, They are typical chrome frames with rubber feet and a swivel seat. The frames are rusting and they have no seat backs. Id like the replacements to...

This request is a bit unusual, but here goes. I inherited some decent small shop machine tools (Drill press, band saw, bench grinder) from my recently deceased father-in-law. One of the items is a little used Craftsman 919.162120 120v Horizontal Air Compressor. My plan was to use this unit at...

I have all Lista Cabinets in my garage (from 2006). Want to add a matching worktable similar to the one in pic #2. Who has a Lista sales agent in the northeast?

I‘ve got some automotive specific bolts that are rusting, that I’d like to replate back to factory. Years ago I tried the Eastwood plating system and it performed poorly (being kind). Does anyone know of any home plating system that works decently for a very small batch process?

A few years back we bought a second home in a warm winter climate. The garage is a plain old 2 car attached type with an uncoated floor. In this warm climate it gets fairly hot in there in the summer and warm in the winter. Last winter I noticed a white powder on the floor, didn't think much...

Long story short, the garage was built in 2005 and at the time floor was done with 100% solids Epoxy. We did ALOT of work in the garage over 15 years and by 2020 the coating needed to be replaced. Did the project in 2021. The company chosen to do the work had good references and seemed to do a...

The Backstory Currently have 3 existing Honeywell RTH8580 Programmable WiFi Touch Green Screen Thermostats - 2 in the house (2 zones) and 1 in the garage. Have had them in for 8 or so years, no issues at all except the green screens are impossible to read and interact with under most conditions...

Yes, I realize it is not a garage, but I also know there is some vast knowledge here regarding concreate surface coatings. I am reasonably familiar with garage coatings as I have been through that process 3 times over 18 years with our 2 garages, but have no (successful) experience with outdoor...

For those of you with Kohler Generators equipped with Kohler automatic transfer switches. Specifically all versions of the Kohler RDT: During the crazy storms in the past 2 weeks, one day we had Utility power go off and on about 10 times in as many minutes and drove the ATS controller crazy...

My Craftsman 20 gallon Wet Dry Shop Vac model 125.12009 is in great overall condition, unfortunately while using it today, one of the 4 clip / screw on molded feet that holds the caster in place broke, the caster is fine. I'd hate to have to purchase a new unit just for this 1 molded piece...

Retired IT Guy, have always used Fluke equipment in the IT world. Generally they were way more advanced and tougher than the competition, but the IT world is an always moving target, where state of the art today is throw away 8 years from now. Im now looking to upgrade my 10 year old home...

I believe you have a problem. This is what my inbox looks like this morning:

I've lived in the northeast my entire life and have a pretty substantial collection of tools and automotive equipment which are kept indoors in toolboxes except when used outside. If they get wet when in use, they get wiped off prior to storing. Never had a rust issue on any of my tools or...

Hi I have a 2 gallon pack of HD829 pourable Epoxy Filler along with a length of long rope filler that I purchased about 5 years ago for a project and did not end up needing it. Questions: What is the shelf life of this product, neither can was ever opened? I purchased it for indoor garage use...

Hi All The attached pictures are from my concrete pool deck. As you can see it is textured (to prevent slipping). It is coated with PPG PermaCrete Masonary Stain and as you can see it is peeling in a few areas. The coating was installed by the previous property owner and has been in place for...

Hi All My garage is an older build (2015) which was recently refreshed this past summer - new interior paint, floor coating and general cleanup. One thing I did not get to were added low profile LED lighting above 2 distinctly different work areas and I would like some recommendations for these...

The vehicle section of my garage is epoxy coated, whereas there is approximately 750sq ft of non vehicle space which is finished with 12x12 CVT, which needs a really deep cleaning. Should this be done with a floor machine and cleaner or with mop and heavy duty cleaning solution? I would greatly...

Hi All I have a 16 year old garage floor (about 1200 sq ft) where the original coating now needs to be redone. I'm looking for an expert installer in my area who can do the project. I'm in Northern Westchester County in NY, about 60 miles north of NYC, so a vendor in Westchester, Putnam or...

I'm looking to fill a rather wide gap - 3/4" to 1" - between a concrete wall and floor slab in my garage before recoating the floor as I want to extend the new floor slab coating to the wall and to install a vinyl cove base when done. I've looked at several different products (self leveling...

Hi Newbee Here I built a new garage last fall and did not get a chance to coat the floor due to concrete curing time and the onset of winter. Over the winter I've had the opportunity to look at many Epoxy floor coatings, each of which claim to be the best and at this point I'm thoroughly...
