    Porch Concrete Repair Options?

    I like the idea of ceramic tile, BUT it must be porcelain tile with little or no water absorption. My brother did it with his house in PA severe cold winters, no problems. He used something like this...

    I think it requires quite a big set just to operate them, plus nerves of steel help too. Just glad I'm not the guy writing the check . . . not sure I can fit that many zeros

    New Basement Concrete slab questions

    Couldn't agree more. And if there's no water/drainage issue it could also be used for radon abatement (if that is even an issue in your area.) Cheap to put in just one side into a sump pit for future use if necessary. My brother's house had water issues until we installed 4" solid perforated...

    "I saved a lot of treasures" well it's about time . . . Shame how it's cheaper to throw something out then it is to recycle it. And yes I miss those days down in Manhattan scooping up what everyone else was throwing out. Had a green Plymouth Valiant that I put a conference table on top of...

    If you're referring to the electrician, it was his way of saying not to try the latest and greatest new thing until it was proven with time. As to my brother, he didn't buy the house with the aluminum wire. We ended up renovating a cape cod style house in a even nicer area.

    "One thing that is strange to me in our area, its common to not have any exterior sheer walls, only on the interior of the building" Seems strange to me as well, and actually seems backwards, but engineers . . . always are figuring out better ways to do things. Had an electrician friend...

    Issues with stamped concrete

    "inadequate air entrainment" (ConCretin) and I would go with porcelain tile rated for outside with a DCOF (the dynamic coefficient of friction) installed over the concrete. Also for cold weather most concrete is broom finished. Watched (mostly heard) my neighbors pool concrete apron/patio...

    Broken Joists

    Agreed, with the floor removed you'll be able to do a much better job. Personally I would remove the existing floor, run strings from one end of the room to the other to jack them up to the correct height. Then I would add full length crowned 2x8's nailed top & bottom every 12 inches. Then...

    Mini Split Cabin Recommendation

    "If you drain the plumbing and use RV antifreeze, why are you still running the heat ?" Cause it keeps the sheetrock from cracking and reduces moisture inside an unoccupied building. (ie mold) "Mini splits with more than one air handler tend to be less efficient !" Agree 100% and besides being...

    Covering rock wool in our new shop

    Yep used them both and the bona traffic HD is due for another coat. Definitely easier to apply the water base, plus it dries fast and almost no smell compared to oil. But with a garage it's not like you're going to do it again especially after it gets filled up

    Covering rock wool in our new shop

    Personally if it was my shop, I would use rockwool only skip the foam, save that money to do your ceiling in corrugated roofing with your favorite color if the budget allows. Then on the walls use 5/8 T1-11 cover with your favorite stain and poly...

    Covering rock wool in our new shop

    Actually if you can find oil base poly you'd be far better off. Found the water base doesn't hold up as well as oil, kinda like evaporates (this of course is over a ten year period). Used this on my floors over ten years ago and it still looks great-...
