    Epoxy Reccomendations

    I'm helping my friend build his shop (1,800 s.f.) and we are at the point of sealing the floor. He doesn't want to spend a fortune but I'm looking for a good epoxy to reccomend to him. What I use is too expensive for his budget. Secondly are the one part epoxys any good? He wants a grey floor...

    My new concrete surface is cracking away! Recomendations would be appreciated!

    If he grinds it have him do a proper skim coat. Why should you be responsible? Is this a new house? Also replacing the pad is no problem. He just saws out the bad and repours. Being attached to the house makes no difference. Let us know what the rep says tomorrow. Good Luck

    Returns to Home Depot

    At the end of every job I bring all my extra materials back to HD. Some jobs are 6 months long and the number of items can be between 50 and 75 and takes 20-30 minutes. I've never had a complaint from staff or management. I do have a commercial card but don't know if that makes a difference. I...

    floor decals

    Google is a great thing. Found it for you. a 23" decal for $21. That is the size of the raw material 24". I'm sure if you call them they can do any size but you will have to put it down in pieces. Decal-Orations http://www.decal-orations.com/decal/204370-mopar.html You owe me a beer.

    floor decals

    I used a vinyl logo not painted. If you wanted they could also make you a stencil so you could paint it on yourself and then clear. Call 'Fast Signs'. The logo has to be in their file or sometimes they won't do it because of copywrite issues.

    One or two garage doors??

    Hmmmmm. I would think the opposite would be true? At least I thought so when I did mine. He has 40' of wall and if he pulls in he will have to do alot of manuvering to move a car to the side. At least that was my thought process. I kind of looked at mine like driving lanes. With the two doors I...

    Curing Portland Cement

    Bimmer is right about the curing compound they spray on. Just don't ever use it on a floor you want to paint. At least a week covered making sure it's wet underneath. Sawcutting needs to be done within the first 72 hours and needs to be done properly (min. of 25% of depth)

    My new concrete surface is cracking away! Recomendations would be appreciated!

    Have him hit it with a hammer (several times) or do it yourself before he comes. If it continues to break up or sounds hollow make him pull it up and replace it. It would be nice to know if there is a vapor barrier and compacted gravel/ stone under it. If you are really concerned have him get...

    Concrete Lien?

    All depends on TX law. I agree that if a 'Notice to owner' was never filed you don't have an issue. Happened to me in TN with my Stucco subcontractor not paying his bill. Only thing they could do is tell me that I would have no warranty until the materials were paid for. TN law prevented them...

    One or two garage doors??

    I just priced 10' x 10' roll up doors for a customer. They were $714 each installed. If it's tight and you go with one door, make it a wide one for turning radius.

    Preliminary Framing Design

    Not much headroom under the girder. The grade outside has to be more than 2" below finished floor. Locally it's 8" but you'll have to check local code. You really want to go larger all the way around unless you have a square footage limit. No way you'll get 2 trucks in there. It's too small...
