    Sealing New Concrete?

    I haven't done epoxy yet, but I have seen on there where it says for NEW concrete, it must sit for a minimum or 60 days or so before being applied.

    Storage Unit Build Help...

    Alright, so my brother-in-law came up and we hit the back yard. Figured that if I'm going to put the shed in, I need to clear rest of the back yard, fence it ALL in, level it and thne start from them. When we bought it in March, the chain link fence came to the front of the detached garage...

    I bought flexible LED strips and placed them in the gauges. that more then enough light and spread it more evenly so you didn't have problems with dark spots.

    Carport Addition Questions

    Thanks for the advice. I have asked about it a little. The fact that it is detached and not within 50ft of the house makes it non taxable. The same reason they were unable to tax me on the garage - or so I'm being told.

    Storage Unit Build Help...

    I was affraid of that. I'll be doing a Carport at the same time it looks like (to save on concrete pruchase and delivery fees. I'm just not that keen on paying someone $1600 to float and finish 16'x12' and 10'x20' slabs or concretes. Seems a bit high to me and I've never done concrete work...

    Anyone ever made carbon fiber parts?

    I've done quite a bit of carbon fiber work myself too. However, like it was said above, most of what you see will be fiberglass with a layer of carbon fiber material. What are you looking to do and some of us may be ablet o point you in the right direction. If it's just giving some parts the...

    Storage Unit Build Help...

    After looking, I'm thinking one side 8'x8' and the other 8'x12' instead of 10'. I also did some claculations on costs. It seems that I would be able to pour a slab and build on there for roughly the same cost as the wood frame and floor. Reasoning is I can get the slab and a carport poured the...

The Garage also WON'T be getting redone until after the carport and storage shed. So I need some help with the carport first. I'm looking at building a storage shed, and...

    Storage Unit Build Help...

    The roof probably wont be a problem. I can figure things out pretty easily and have plenty of patience, plus my father-in-law is only a call away and he's great with that kind of stuff. As far as it being 'cute', thats probably better. It'll give the wife something to brag about and show off...

    Storage Unit Build Help...

    I like the way that looks, but something like that would be far less than waht I'm thinking. I do like the garbage storage, maybe i'll have to make something similar later down the road. The more photos and advice the better. the wife fell in love with your shed and has given me the OK to do...
