I have a simple 1 car garage with concrete walls in the basement of my little cape. Here is the tricky question. I have use of an impact drill this weekend and would like to mount all the wood to the walls I would might need before I return it. I never plan on finishing the walls, just want...

I'm pretty comfortable with the idea of cutting concrete, and I'm asking around local friends if anyone knows a mason who can lay down a chalk line guide for me, and come back on rebuild day to bark orders from a lawn chair while drinking tea or something. =-D

I don't mind it taking longer so long as the cost savings is there. Unless I can post a couple photos and it can be determined from the look of it, I'm not sure what to look for myself to tell if its monolithic. Just so I understand, so long as the floor is not tied into the foundation with...

Thanks for the great info, I suspect I have a lot of youtubing needed it's sounding more doable with studying. What do you mean by something stupid with the saw? Besides not cutting myself, what am I looking for in the threshold? Is broken concrete considered "Clean Fill"? The garage is...

And on rainy days you can still get your run in by doing laps inside.

Hi, I have been reading this forum for 3+ weeks now drooling over floor coatings and work benches. I just bought my first home a week ago, and it's quite the fixer-upper but I am not afraid to roll up my sleeves. After about a week, and two full dumpsters, I finally hoed out all the...
