    Insulation Under Slab

    I think it's better to keep it moderately warm all the time.. I've heard it takes 8-12 hours to notice a difference in temperature..so keep the floor at about 50 and use a blast heater to warm it up for use. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk

    Insulation Under Slab

    If your concrete guy won't guarantee the floor then get a new concrete guy. A floor that size in my area needs to be done by engineer specs and yes it's fine to insulate under the pad ( I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS). You will also need some sort of reinforcement. concrete will crack due to poor...

    Workbench surface for mechanic

    Steel.. 1/8" minimum (11ga.).. preferably 3/16. 1/4 plate is better, but it's a little heavy to handle. Wood top benches are a joke in a mechanics shop ( perfectly fine in a wood working shop).. you will never see a wood work bench in a professional shop. Wood durability is one thing and can...

    Detached Garage: installing baffles

    I've never seen those used all the way up to the top.. when I did mine they were only used for the first row to keep the insulation out of the soffit.. You are not going to have any airflow unless you use a Ridge vent Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk

    Garage / Shop Walls

    An easy option for the ceiling is white vinyl siding.. I like the way mine turned out.. Tin on the walls is ok.. but I bet your saw will become very loud! Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk

    Are mac impact wrenches any good

    I agree.. most of what I do a 1/2" will do it (even wheels).. the times I needed a 3/4 gun I didn't have to wait long to use it. If your flat rate, different story. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk

    Are mac impact wrenches any good

    Are you going on your own or working in a shop?? I've been a diesel mechanic for 20 years and I don't own a 3/4 gun.. those are shop tools! Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk

    Keeping Track of Parts/Orientation During Teardown

    If you can find it for what your working on... exploded parts diagrams.. if not, zip lock bags, masking tape and coloured tie-raps do the trick. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk

    Hot garage is not cool!

    Gable vents will not be good with a Ridge vent.. either one or the other with the air entry point at the soffit. If you want the best bang for the buck.. insulate the ceiling first.. thats more important than doing the walls Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk
