That is sweet @jponto07! How long did it take to flatten each slab? Will you do both sides so that it has a consistent thickness?

MrToolJunkie wrote:So I have been using the Flexi and really like it – it is on par with my FT drills and slightly better power than the TXS, in my opinion and in a slightly smaller footprint. I think that this is a winner and being able to pack it, 4 batteries and a 12volt light in one L-Boxx is also a winner – love having a kit that is easy to…

My Menards has 4 in stock and on sale for 119. If I didn’t want the 12v cordless so much I might pick one up.

The column looks sweet @DirtyWhiteBoy! I like it the way it is.

I spent the last few days hacking up some trusses…don’t try that at home folks.

Yesterday I spent the day back and forth with an engineer. We have to modify 2 girder trusses to open up some attic space. We found a few things once the insulation was removed that needed addressed in the stamped drawings. We got all items resolved and lumber delivered. We will be cutting up some trusses over the next few days!! HAHA!!

Hey @jponto07 I have this set and really like them. They work great in hardwood. I u…[Read more]

Hey @doobie they say about 7 days for full cure. I will wait that long for sure..don’t want any issues. There wasn’t any real odor. It is a water based epoxy so it had a latex paint type smell to it. My wife didn’t complain so I know it wasn’t bad..lol!!

I bet with tye correct pads it would work to remove adhesive but it would make a mess of your subfloor @DirtyWhiteBoy.

Making some progress again. Everything is ground down. I needed to do the epoxy in 2 sections to maintain access to the laundry room. Here are some pics of the ground concrete, the 1st section with 2 coats, and the 2nd section…[Read more]

Thanks @Boschmanbrian! A little delayed in responding to you. I really did put a bunch of thought into this one compared to our last one. I still haven’t done anything with an inverter yet. The one I have will just be enough for some chargers. Almost never are on a site without temp or permanent power. We do have one of the shelves occupied by a…[Read more]

Very cool @jponto07! Ironically we just pulled one out of our current remodel. It was a nice quality piece…I don’t think anyone ever even slept in it.

I didn’t run this today…but last week I spent 2 straight days on it demoing a crap load of tile…prob 1500 plus sq. Ft. Then a few days on a big Husvarna grinder removing the hard thinset left!

I do not think the marine grade will be a good choice for a work surface. That stuff is never flat. For a better choice than the ply look for Medex MDF. A countertop shop might have some. It is water resistant mdf.

Had a tornado go through my town yesterday. Kinda crazy! Missed our shop by a few hundred yards. Tore up a bunch of properties. Went to a clients house and tarped his roof from all the missing shingles and installed a temp post on his front porch due to the wind blowing out one of his posts holding up his porch.

Then the rest of the day was…[Read more]

Here is a quick video of it in action. It gets within 3/4″ of the wall. I used a cup wheel on my variable speed Flex grinder on the slowest speed to get the edges all the way to the plate. With the vac hose right next to it that was almost dust free as well with the speed down.

That’s ok @redwood I haven’t been around much either. Yes it was almost done. I have the theater room done and had the floor down and was installing trim when I stopped because of the floor issue.…[Read more]

Hey Mark! Looking forward to your review. We have an older craftsman table saw we use for framing. I think this would be a nice upgrade when ours dies.

The Edco grinder and vac he has is awesome!! Zero dust…I mean zero! Makes quick work.

What size is the grinding cup on that machine Andrew? Turbo or segmented grinding? Looks like a nice powerful motor that makes quick work of that.

It isn’t a cup or pad. It has 3 “shoes” for lack of a better term. I am using t…[Read more]

Picked up an ATS porcelain blade for my TS55 from the Amazon UK. Gives me track saw dry cutting for tile work when working with large format tiles and planks. Works pretty well!

Sweet setup but I like Dan’s jig I copied! @woodman_412

The problem is the non permeable flooring traps the vapor…it won’t ever reach a dehumidifier.

Alright…finally time to get this done! I decided on the 2 part epoxy. No matter what system/sealer I chose, because I had glue residue and sealer on the slab, they all required surface prep. Epoxy moisture mitigation is very, very common in the…[Read more]
