Project LM 365

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

Ya I thought about it but these guys didn't recommend filling them. They said that it will cause the floor to crack in other places instead of the joints.
It looks really good this morning, however it was to cold last night and didn't dry enough to finish it this morning so now they will be back tomorrow. Have to wait 1 more day now.

Yep - that is what they are 'supposed' to do. Mine cracked and apparently wasn't satisfied so it cracked again radiating out from the expansion crack. Sand and soil that the builder put under that slab settled, and as they say, that was that. Had to break out that concrete and have the slab repoured - 30 years ago now and it is cracking again. Just can't keep this Kansas dirt from settling. Regardless, great job and will really make keeping the garage clean a lot easier!

As long as the concrete is not jetting out from the crack and somewhat even you can leave it. It cracks too because they don't put rebar reinforcement in.

Passing on this black tank flushing trick
For when the dump stations doesn't have a threaded hose or hose bib to hook up your flush hose to.
I put a anti siphon fitting on the end of my outside shower hose (just to be safe) and use it to pump my tank water in to flush the black tank.

Like it! Can you offer any pointers to track down a source for that anti siphon fitting you are using?

Thanks,
Kurt

Amazon I guess the flush system has one in line already but I put that in just to be extra sure

I get that. I debated but I was tired of always cleaning out those cracks. I used http://www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-Sili...-Masonry-Sealant-12-Pack-7079808675/205030334 on top of http://www.homedepot.com/p/MD-Build...acker-Rod-for-Gaps-and-Joints-71506/100165680 to fill mine. It makes it easier to clean as well because I can just use a squeegee to push the water out or in my case the chunks of ice and snow and mag chloride the wifes car drops in the winter.

Well I know we've been off the real subject of "Project LM365" but this gerage has taken over for now. It is coming along nicely. I have to wait 1 more week for the 2 corner cabinets for behind the exit door, as they made a small mistake when we changed all of the drawings. Also the shelf under the TV and a 7" cross filler over it and the matching face boards for my shelf.
Looking good.

I really like how your garage looks. I especially like your long tool cabinet on casters. Do you think that cabinet is wide enough to put a table saw on top of? The cabinets on the wall look good too.

My project is going to be the basement and building shelves down there. It has kind of gotten out of hand down there. You just tend to place the boxes every where.

Very nice!

 

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

The long one by the door is only 19" wide, I had to get a narrow one so I can still walk between it and the jeep when the cars are in the gerage. I built this rolling work bench years ago, and I made it the exact same height as my table saw. I can us it to hold sheets of plywood as I run them across the saw.

Good idea. Maybe I'll maker a longer table on casters and put my saw in the center. I have a work-site saw from Dewalt. I like it because I can keep it on the ground and shove it in my shelf but is small when ripping down a plywood sheet as I recently found out.

 

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

In have the big craftsman table saw, it is nice when your using it, but the rest of the time it's in the way.

Well I've finally finished the gerage and now I can get back to "Project LM365" ...
I now know right where everything is. LOL
And I even have heat.

It all fits like a glove.

And I found this today

Looks really good Jerrod. I wish I could call mine a man cave but it gets invaded every summer with toys.

 

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

Thanks
I'll see how long I can keep it clean and organized. We have a huge Super bowl party every year and that is the bar area. I use to put up curtains to hide all my crap. Now it all has a place out of sight.

Well I was going to get back to the RV topic and spare you guys the gerage pictures. But I'm still having fun dialing in the garage. I just finished this little drawer pull out idea I came up with a few weeks ago. I've been waiting for my 22" easy close bottom track rollers to show up. I put 3 sets side by side inside the cabinet.
Now my organizer trays are put away out of site and easily accessible when I need them. Pretty happy with the out come.

That is definitely a good idea that I may copy
