Re: Racedeck and pets?

I had the circle track with an older lab and she had no problem when wet. No experience with the free flow, but I would think it would be even safer.

Re: H&C Anyone have any experience with it?

I used that a couple of years back and wasn't impressed. It didn't hold up well and the finish wasn't very nice looking. Scratched very easily I did all of the prep work correctly.

It also...

Re: Racedeck flooring Question

I also used the free flow right over the drains in my garage. The slope is very slight, so there isn't any problems with it.

I will try and post some pics soon.

Re: Opinions on lift part

So I bought an Atlas BP9000. After getting the columns mounted, we noticed that one of the mounting plates on the carriage had been flipped and welded incorrectly while being made. So I contacted...

Re: Finishing my garage

Garage looks great. And so does the Camaro. Seems very well thought out.

Do you have any pics or any info on the door tracks for the storage area? Not sure how they work.

Thanks

Re: Great Garage Makeovers

If anyone has their copy with them, could you post the mfg's link for the PVC ceiling write up they did? I left my copy at home and wanted to do a little digging today at work.

Thanks

Re: Ceramic tile installation questions for the experts!

One piece at a time. You don't have to wait to do the seams. Make sure you use a latex/polymer modified thinset over the plywoood/ under the hardi-backer board.

Good luck

Re: Race Deck Insulation Question

I used a landscaping felt underneath. I figured moisture wouldn't bother it. I was concerned about the laminate underlayment dealing with moisture and spills.

Also, the free shipping is usually...

Re: H&C Shield-Crete or SW Tile-Clad or Other? HELP PLEASE!

Re: click/clack problem with plastic tiles

I put down landscaping felt/fabric. Very thin and moisture won't bother it.

I laid out an area with and without and there was a big difference in noise. Hardly any with the felt.

Re: mini split leaks inside

Check your drain line. Mine had gotten kinked and was backing up into the unit.

Re: 24' ceramic floor tile

Porelain is definately more durable. There are some ceramics that are suitable, but porcelain overall is stronger and has a better glazing.

Re: 24' ceramic floor tile

Once they are installed, no different as far as cracking.

Installation is a little more involved. If your floor is not perfectly flat, it does make it harder if there are ups and downs. Also,...

Re: Radiant heat tubing depth

I attached mine to the top of the steel mesh. I had used R-foil underneath for insulation. On a 4"+ pour, it would end up around 2" inches below the surface.

Re: Lighting the garage.

Looks good. I am almost done with my light install. I have a 28'x40' and put 4 rows of 4 8' T8s. Huge difference. I had 8 "temporary" 60w bulbs for 5 years and finally had enough.
