Has anyone had experience with epoxy coating a previously plastered pool? My home is 13 years old now and this winter the first layer if plaster on the bottom started to chip off around the drains, self cleaning jets, and a few other random spots all on the floor. I prepared myself to have...

I figured out a solution but the TV hasnt arrived yet so I havent implemented it. I decided to cut a 2x6 to the width of the opening of the wall unit. Then use (2) metal joists screwed into the inside of the cabinet to hold the 2x6 in place. Then I will add extra support by screwing a 6" piece...

I just ordered a 55" LED Flat Panel TV but I'm not sure how I'm going to mount it. My house was built in 2001 when projection TV's were still very popular. There is a custom entertainment center sunk into the wall and there is 26" between the wall and the front of the wall unit where there was...

I was never able to find those parts, so YES! I still need them! Thanks!

After the first thunder storm I have seen in Las Vegas since I moved into a new property which put an inch of water on the ground in 30 mins... my 5 ton York condenser unit popped a breaker. I reset breaker outside and the unit fan turned back on but not the compressor. I had two different...

What does the ODS look like?

I really hate the railing system inside of my house for the stairs that take you to the second floor. I really like the look of cable rails but at around $100 a sqft it doesnt seem practical. The look of horizontal tube railings appeal to me too. Has any attempted to build their own cable...

Ugghh FirePlaceGuys dot com quoted $229 plus shipping for a new gas valve! That sounds a bit excessive to me. Has anyone replaced one of these valves before and know if that quote is way out of line?

I played around with a bunch of valves near the pump and figured it out. The self cleaning system works like crap and not worth using any way...

Thanks for the info but unfortunately I live in the Nevada desert and they wont stand the extreme heat with no humidity...

Hey Joe, I checked both Home Depot and Lowes and although they have similar parts the clamps they have are for round posts not square. I have also check all over online and I can not parts to fit the square posts. Do you or anyone else know where I can find these parts for square posts...

I purchased a new property and the in ground pool is equipped with a Magna Sweep self cleaning system. The only problem is I can not figure out how to turn it on and I am unable to find a pool expert to come over and show me how to work it without me signing up for a month to month contract...

I understand the pebble stone coating needs maintenance every few years but if we removed the skim coat and repoured a new layer would this not also need maintenance as well? Hence, it was not maintained before I purchased the house and possible the reason that it is in such bad shape having...

I had about 10 different contractors come in and look and estimate and to do the job correctly it has to be grinded off and repoured. Since the skim coat is made to stick good to the base below it will most likely be damaged. This doesnt mean that we need to repoor the entire driveway we can...

well i went ahead and restained one of the doors starting this morning and thank godness it seems to be taking the stain well after two coats with no blotches. It still needs 1 or 2 more coats to match the drawers though so not out of the woods yet (plus there is still the other door!) i will...

Then should try putting my citrus strip on there or maybe a different solution to break in down further?

OK, so I coated both doors last night with a heavy dose of Citrus strip then wiped it down about 3 hours later then recoated it again and left it over night. Got up this morning and wiped it clean then used the afterwash. I let the doors dry about 10 hours (it's dry here in the Nevada) and then...

I started a project a couple of weeks ago to strip down and refinish a light oak colored bathroom vanity and stain it ebony. I used a few coats of Citris stripping gel, along with a bunch of sanding and Citrus paint strip after wash to prepare the surfaces for staining. Then used 100 grain...

I want to cut my existing fence in my backyard and make it into a gate. This is what it looks like: By looking at another section of my fence which already has a gate it looks pretty simple if I can only find the hinges and latch: See below: This seems to be common fence in Las...

I’m so freakin' confused… I contacted about 6 contractors and all of them told me different things… Not only is epoxy coating the cheapest, it also sounds like the best solution to me. Here is just a few responses I received: However, I contacted a guy from Las Vegas Epoxy...
