    Epoxy flooring for shop or garage?

    Hi All, I'm on the cusp of buying a house and for the first time in my life, I'll have a garage (exciting!). Since the garage is 2.5 cars, I'm going set up a workshop in there. Right now, the floor is painted cement and the current owner has been using the garage to restore vintage MGs. The...

    Roof replacement cost

    Sorry for the off-topic question. Well after 31 years my roof needs replacement. I got three local bids but wanted the work finished this summer so the shingles would have time to seal down. Then I made the mistake of filling out one of those online roof ads. So here is where it gets weird...

    Epoxy garage floor coating vs floor tiles vs vinyl rolls

    In the spirit of car related threads, I want to get some opinions regarding doing a professional epoxy garage floor coating versus something like an interlocking floor tile system or vinyl rolls. Do you have opinions about one versus another as far as aesthetics are concerned, and also longevity...

    Gator FX Tonneau Cover

    I bought a Gator FX Tonneau Cover from Tonneau Covers World (Real Truck or one of their many other names). I can't see a lick of difference between it and the Bak-flip I bought for a Silverado I owned a few years back, except for a pretty hefty difference in price. I called and got a very good...

    Garage floor coatings

    Since Jeep folks are generally the DIY types I figure someone here has done garage floor coatings before. When I was in the military we called it PRC, but I think its just called epoxy coating in the hardware stores. Basically its that multi step stuff that you throw some base layer down, then...

    Touchless Car Washes

    In the manual it says "Commercially operated automatic car washes, jet washes, and power-operated mops are not recommended." But in the winter the car gets dirty really quickly, would be insane to be spending $50 for manual handwashes every week. Anyone here uses touchless car washes, and does...

    Garage Door Opener Remote Problem

    We have a Genie brand garage door opener, but we don't have a remote. We purchased the Genie remote that matches the year the garage door opener was made, but the door would not respond to the remote. I am wondering if this can be fixed. Maybe the board on the opener is broken? Is there any...

    Garage Door Replacement

    I'm looking to replace my old garage door. These garage door guys don't make it easy. They all want too much $$! I've read through several manufacturers' installation instructions. This is something I feel very comfortable doing myself. Choosing which manufacturer to go with is another matter...

    Garage Door Opener Help

    Here is the problem. When you push either button or the remote to open the door everything works fine. When you try to close the door the remote won't work at all and if you use the two buttons that are directly wired you have to hold them down the whole time until the door shuts. They called a...

    Question about crank pulley on a 2011 Ford Ranger with a 2.3 engine

    A co-worker of mine had a damper pulley failure on his ranger. What happened was that his pulley came apart and the belt guide fell off, leaving behind a core that resembled a v-belt pulley. I suspect the cause of this was that his air conditioner compressor seized up. So, I offered to replace...
