You're good!

Thanks again for everyone's feedback. This is brand new concrete that was poured last year, so nothing old. He charged me around $3,800 in cash. For high spots, I could take the carbide stone to it. It seems like everyone is saying just to leave it alone.

Wow, if you guys think this is acceptable, I wont touch it then. It held up fine over the winter, so it sounds like it might actually be worse to skim coat it vs just leaving it. Appreciate the feedback.

Morning! A friend recommend me this "great concrete contractor." I gave the guy a shot and dreadfully regret it. Since this was last year and I have had time to cool down, can I get my steps skim coated to make them smooth? Would it last? Even though I live in MN, I never put salt down as it...

Hey Tommy - Would you be open to discussing what you have seen over the last 20 years? I'm more focused on financials as well, but I'd like to gain experience from what others are seeing.

Hey guys, Curious if anyone is a Manager/Director of Facilities. I've been Managing Office Services for the last 10 years at Fortune headquarters and was recently promoted. Today my position is geared towards financials, capital projects, technology, and space planning. Within the next...

That's what we did as well. Put backer rod in to expand. Helped a little but not enough. I used a wooden garage door seal on my last aluminum garage door and it worked great.

There was two techs here doing the install. The manager and his senior employee with 20 years.

How would someone blend the patch to look right the old concrete? I just imagine a mismatch looking mess.

Mice, snow, and rain would be the problem. I get what your saying though.

That's the seal i have currently.

The gap was not there on the previous garage door but it was not leveled either. In fact it came down at such and angle to compensate that it crushed it a little bit. Also, wouldn't patch look like *** and not match?

New garage door installed today and now I have a gap. We have tried to adjust the garage door and shoved filler in the bottom seal which did not solve it. I have around a 1/4" exposed that I need to seal. The garage door is squared but the concrete has settled in this spot. Garage door company...

I have natural gas. I believe these are electric which would be costly to convert over.

Actually, I just read something. Since I have hard water, I want the aluminized rod vs magnesium. Magnesium is great for soft water but horrible for hard water and can make a rotten egg smell? Is this true that I would want the 6 year warranty with the standard aluminized rod vs magnesium?

Is there that much of a difference in the anodized rod from a 6, 9, or 12 year water heater warranty? I'm looking at AO Smith (Lowes) or Rheem (HomeDepot) to replace my 16 years old AO Smith water heater. AO Smith has confirmed their tanks are all the same. My water isn't soft but not super...

So it sounds like its not really loss cause. I do have those long 16' braces going across. When it gets warmer out, I try strengthening it with something.

Where do buy those panels? My local hardware store sells only the door.

Fixed it by adding a gutter. I can't find a section as it looks like a whole piece that goes across.

Thanks for the feedback. It happened due to the garage door being frozen to the ground one morning. It rained the night before and the temps dropped dramatically. It's been like this probably for a year or so. However, my budget does allow me for a replacement, so I can get an estimate. I just...
