The dream is: wide-plank white oak engineered hardwood in the living room (+small hallway) and cork flooring in the two connected bedrooms.

Hello to all, We had epoxy laid over our garage concrete floor about 10 yrs ago. On my wife's side, there are three areas where the epoxy is gone. I can post pics if you wish. Has anyone patched the holes on an epoxy floor before and how did it turn out?

I recently removed the carpeting in my enclosed front porch and installed vinyl tiles. B/c the room is not perfectly square, I wasn't able to fit the tiling in perfectly creating a gap by the front door.

Well 2 weeks ago i wanted to replace the AC unit in the studio. its a typical wall unit you can buy from home depot or sears.
