I too was concerned about a slippery floor , and because I didn't want to use "grit" in the Poly , I used a 3/8" nap roller instead of the recommended short nap roller, that gave the poly a bit of a texture. The floor still has a shine but it's not slippery even when wet. here are a few...

"Just curious, why go straight symmetric next time around?" I can back my Mercedes 300SD and my F150 on my lift without changing the position of the arms . If you were to move the front arms to the rear , the configuration of those arms are such that you could only lift to the hight of the...

I've got a CL10v3 Challenger Versalift ,Mine's installed on 6" 4500 psi wire reenforced concrete. You can put the doors behind the posts , but because the posts aren't angled, you don't get as much clearance as with a "true" asymmetric. Your f-250 diesel crew will definitely need truck...

Built a kitchen island / table , out of scrap and leftovers from another project . The only thing I bought was the butcher block top, an gave it a simple mineral oil finish. I had 2 salvaged base cabinets, and because I’m a mechanic not a cabinet maker, I used nut & bolt joinery . The...

Believe it . I'm on the same main that feeds a Six Flags water park , incoming supply is 210 psi, daytime, overnight rises to 265 psi

I used LP Smart Side, factory primer was nice enough,so no paint , and no nails, used square drive bronze screws. removing the panels to access air lines , electrical , plumbing, or to add blocking for something heavy is easy. In 2018 it was $34 a sheet
