I’ve had friends with satellite internet and I know their experience was horrible and similar to yours. I can’t really recall anyone liking them truthfully but as pointed out it’s better than nothing. I can see how this would be an upgrade. With a more reliable connection you may find...

Sounds like you got what you needed. But I did want to take a quick second to follow up on the router. It sounds like the T-Mobile gateway has dual functionality in the fact it can decipher the signal from the mothership and then also do wired and wireless routing. I had a similar setup when I...

What router are you using at your house to distribute the T-Mobile signal?

I think you are confusing and mixing terms. Wi-Fi radios operate on different frequencies. For awhile people used letter designations like B, G, N, etc. Then it become more common to see 2.4ghz or 5ghz. Most recently 6 and 6E is the latest and greatest. Each band offers different advantages...

My 2 cents is you have two different issues. 1. Regardless how you install, buy all the flooring in a single purchase. Also order some extra for waste and potential future replacements. Key thing is you will have ample supply and don’t have to worry about color/dye variation between different...

Are you also throwing in a free Shelby with garage flow tile purchase @RaceDeck1? I think it would really help move those tiles, lol. Seriously though, what’s the scoop on the garage flow tiles? I see they lack the checker pattern because of a different design. But what’s the history...

LOL that’s about my luck too!

Several years back we had a supplier drop off one of the radar machines for us to sample. Their intent was we’d fall in love and order a few. Cost was pretty substantial and feedback wasn’t great so we never bought one. I’m sure technology has improved but we still don’t have one. As mentioned...

I’d encourage you to get some samples of the free flow tiles. I got some of the normal 12x12’s and the beefier 18x18 XLC. Both are quality products but I really prefer the XLC. They are thicker, have a little better texture and IMO looks aesthetically better (larger tile on a large floor looks...

@60acres I noticed those also. I *think* maybe they were the pre runner to the infamous free flow tiles. Because their design is slightly different they don’t give that checker effect (in same color tiles) and I think may blend aesthetically well if combined with a solid tile and you aren’t...

I don’t like to substitute rebar for fiber. Instead fibers help compliment rebar. The exception being if you have really thin concrete or a unique situation where rebar placement is impractical and then fiber is better than nothing. Traditional rebar allows you to place rebar strategically to...

Yeah I will reach out to them tomorrow and get a new sample. Never had a doubt they would take care of me. They have been great to work with so far. And when we spoke I did ask about close outs, overruns, etc but they mentioned they didn’t have anything in the red, grey and black colors I was...

I was expecting a bright red but that is definitely not the color sample I received. For reference, the graphite color is next to it. The red I’m seeing looks more similar to the darker red on their brochure than that bright red everyone here is posting.

I know red is a popular color for many garages. For those that chose to install some red free flow tiles can you post some up close pictures? I called RaceDeck and ordered some free samples. Customer service was top notch and I am happy with the product quality. I’m just not thrilled with the...

Agree with @billconner, check on a delivered price to your house. Otherwise see where the closest is located and make a road trip. Harsh reality is both options will have some added costs. The question becomes can it happen for less than the $800 custom price locally.

I think the previous owner of my current house had one. My electric panel has double 25 amp breakers for 50 amp service dedicated for “Tesla” as written in the description area of the panel. On my garage wall I have a 220v plug. Although I don’t own an electric vehicle or have much desire to...

One of the reasons I am going to try one of those portable air conditioners that also has heat control. About the same price as the dehumidifier but you also get some added temp control. Expectations are low but figured it was a starting point as I don’t want to drop coin on a mini split.

I think 12” is too narrow. On your drawings that dimension starts on the exterior of your wall. I’m not sure your wall thickness or facade type but you will easily lose 6” before you hit the inside of the garage. Pretty sure you will need 24” minimum from outside edge of wall. Given your...

LOL @Zeke, we haven’t built any bridges in Saudi but that sounds about on par. Got a chance to go work there a few years back. The pay is insanely great and a fun fact is they do (or used to) have a majority portion of big crane rentals in that area. They push the envelope on their builds. On...

We build bridges and frequently drive H-piles, pipe piles and steel casings in the ground. Depending on the state we are working in, the DOT requires we use galvanizing or Tnemec coatings.
