Today I've started getting some unusual issues when navigating the forums. Best I can tell, it seems like it can't figure out what account I'm logged in as. It starts at the very top of the page, where I would normally see my avatar picture. When moving from forum to forum, it's changing, as if...

I'm looking into a RaceDeck floor for my roughly 20x20 garage. At 4ft from the back (house) side, there is a change in grade across the entire width of the garage. I'm not sure what the proper term for this is, but it's a "step" so to speak, that's about 4 inches higher than the rest of the...

I'm getting ready to finish making a steel work bench for my garage. I was planning on shooting the frame and legs with a simple coat of spray paint, but I would like to cover the top with something more durable. The top is a piece of 5/16" plate. The table will be used mostly for auto work-...
