Ah my mistake. I don't have record of who did it several years ago. It was part of a bartering deal.

This is after their repairs, it was actually worse before. I contacted their Director of Operations (fancy titles mean nothing to me) to reinspect their work with me present. That inspection is TBD. I'm gathering referrals for different epoxy companies to look at it and get their opinions with...

Several years ago we had tiles throughout our showroom. One of our customers hooked us up with epoxy coating and it was fantastic. No bubbles, no streaks, and it was as smooth as one could hope. We demolished the sales counter to remodel. Tile was still under the sales counter so we called a...

Their teeth keep growing so they must chew on whatever to survive. Can you run a solar hot fence charger with hot wire? If it'll teach my 1,000lbs horses not to touch a fence, imagine how much free fried squirrel you can get while they figure it out! Plastic brackets to run hot wire are fairly...

First step identify exactly what the plants are. Then look up their preferred growing conditions and do the opposite. If plant like acid, add garden lime. If plant likes alkaline, add sulfur. If plant likes salt, do not add salt. I use combination of 2,4D and glyphosate from ag stores sprayed...

My house in zone 9 has French drains using 3" sch40 PVC barely buried, maybe 6" depth max. Depth and sch40 only to hold under normal yard type pressure. It only has water while raining so bursting from frost isn't an issue IMO. If it's cold enough to freeze below grade, water won't be running...

I've never heard of a slab without rebar or mesh. Concrete guys (lots of them) told me rebar is the strength while the concrete itself is the just shape. Sidewalks and some driveways go without because they are holding minimal weight and low risk if it collapses compared to a road, home...

I just put these in the horse barn. 3 dual bulb fixtures. 1st fixture had a bad ballast and somehow caused the other fixtures to go dark. I don't understand how that happened since I didn't wire it. Cost $60 from Amazon so 10/bulb Reason I got these are the adjustable color range and lumen...

Thank you for the advice. I did notice the screw wobbling when it ran through a knot in the wood. The wings didn't break off on the loose screws. I'll try drilling through the wood first with a normal bit on the next board.

Late reply but here's what I'm dealing with on the same subject. Teks self drilling, self tapping screws for wood to metal application. Of the first 5 screws, 3 didn't break the wings off so I can pull them out by hand. Posting here since it came up in my search trying to find the correct...

Newest addition that showed up. She's still half feral. I gave a chew or something recently. She said "hold my beer"

I think you have a solid plan. Personally, my 2 car garage will be woodworking area so my shop can be dedicated to metal fab and automotive work. As others said, sq ft gets eaten up very quickly. One of my biggest things is space for storage (bumpers, hoods, transmissions, engines, etc) and room...

You are correct. Ordered from HD at 380 ETA Tuesday. We'll see how they work since I bought this car yesterday for a deal. Now I have heavily modified blue and black STI hatches 😆 guess I'll call them the bruisers

If it's all one slab underneath, I would have the GC or concrete crew fill the joint then THEY provide a pair of steel plates with holes drilled to match lift base and 4 more outer holes. Essentially giving each post a larger contact patch and 8 anchors to reach further from the edge. Hope that...

Not sure about length extensions. I just have all the rubber blocks.

Learned a Quickjack 7000TL can lift a C5 corvette and 07-14 Tahoe but not a 08 STI. Jack points on this car are about 6" longer than the QJ recesses. If I had big enough sections of lumber I would have tried something sketchy but it's not my car.

I plan on running exposed in my new shop. Now I'm ready to start electrical so the starting point is begin frame out where the panel will go, mount panel, connect to meter, run dedicated lighting circuits, run dedicated circuit for compressor, then add on whatever as I go. Being a welded red...

We're in the same boat. I'm running 2 lighting circuits 15A each through 14/2, one for ceiling lights using a duplex single pole switch (Half and half with 12A total draw) then another for wall lights on single switch sharing receptacle for extension cord to run outside (unlikely to need wall...

Just bought 100' each of 12/2 and 14/2 at my local (rural) hardware store for the same price as 250' from the big box store. Also grabbed a couple switches and boxes for a modest premium. Next trip will be to a big box store since savings will more than cover time and fuel making that trip. If I...

Still waiting on oil based paint to dry.
