    gloss sealer over h&c solvent solid color?

    That looks great! I wish swapping colors around was just as easy as pressing a button. Would try all the colors they have. I can't answer your hypothetical question, sorry. I really don't know. And yeah, mine is a fairly standard homeowner application. One car gets parked on it, and then...

    gloss sealer over h&c solvent solid color?

    I used that stuff. H&C solvent based sealer. 2 coats of red, 1 coat of the same stuff in clear. The gloss of the clear is drastically reduced by the Shark Grip. And reduced further by dirt and use, heh. https://db.tt/Cnx5MrUZ https://db.tt/hptIBSei https://db.tt/w7GcpaKv If you're going to do...

    How about stable mats???

    I got two more and cut them with a circular saw. I actually cut it on the ground, using the lip of the garage floor where it meets the driveway as one "sawhorse". Then I used a 2x4 as the other "sawhorse" just outside the garage. This gave 1.5" of space beneath the mat. Then I used 2 clamps to...

    So it was an in-store coupon? That would be great.

    How about stable mats???

    The mats can't be purchased online; how did you use the 10% off code?

    How about stable mats???

    I have a Sherwin Williams sealed floor with a single TSC horse stall mat on it for working out. It's nice not having to worry about moisture with the sealer. However, the mats will always look dirty (I don't care) and an interesting note... it does get slippery. It won't slide on the ground, but...

    Installing Digital Timer in Decora Box

Hooked blue to the black power out from the switch, white to the bundle of neutrals, black to the black power in on the switch, green to...

    Installing Digital Timer in Decora Box

    It's this: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Defiant-20-Amp-7-Day-7-Event-In-Wall-Digital-Timer-49814/203678179#.UkJECYbbNv4 Thanks for the quick response. My application will just be a single switch. Not a '3-way' install.

    Installing Digital Timer in Decora Box

    I have a 2-gang decora wall box in my garage. One switch for the outdoor coach lights and one for the garage lights. I'm wanting to put the outdoor lights on a digital timer. I bought the timer at HD that said it works with CFLs, as opposed to just incandescent bulbs. It has 5 wires: white...

    Polyurea Coating

    My company gets marketed to by many coatings vendors, including polyurea vendors/manufacturers. One of the commonalities between the polyurea guys is the intricate install (consisting of the two-component product being mixed and heated with the equipment to a very specific mixture and...

    Reluctantly painting garage floor

    It wasn't posts by people who peddle epoxy, was it? There are several posts by people who simply paint and like it because it's inexpensive and easily touched up. They are selling nothing and typically don't post much about it. ;)

    PSA: Gas Water Heater and Floor Coatings

    I just talked with a guy in the polyurea business and when I told him that I was putting down a solvent-based sealer (H&C brand) he asked if I had a gas water heater in the garage and that I should turn it off before I start. I will have (house is being built) a gas tankless water heater that is...

    Anyone just used a concrete stain in their garage?

    The PDF for that high performance industrial sealer would talk me out of using it in a garage. "• Urethane floor coatings may exhibit tire tracking." As for my floor, 2 coats of the solvent-based red and then the solvent-based clear.

    Anyone just used a concrete stain in their garage?

    mopar, I can't answer all your questions, but I have a few comments based on my research of the H&C products (which I decided to go with). One of the reasons I went there is because of the 25% off sale I walked in on, like you mentioned. It is going to cost me roughly $220 to do 2 coats of red...

    Identify what these outlets will be?

    I'm not going to do any work while the build is going on except put conduit where the driveway is going to be.

    Identify what these outlets will be?

    First of all, thanks again for all the comments and suggestions. Yes, we had more than enough "might as well" throughout the rest of the house that the garage electrical had to be on a backburner. In fact, the budget was too tight for electrical upgrades due to me upgrading to a 2.5 car garage...

    Identify what these outlets will be?

    2manyprojects, thanks for that post! I didn't even think about the garage door opener switch... DUH! I guess I will try to get in touch with the electrician or else have the builder be the go-between. I did get to point out the location of the one outlet the garage comes with, along with the...

    Identify what these outlets will be?

    Thanks for the info, sands. I will check the wire gauges. I've been trying to ask the builder how many circuits will be in the garage but he says he won't know till the box "gets built". Really wish I had more electrical background so I could ask for certain things. I know I won't have any 220v...
