Tips On Preventing Motor Oil From Leaving Nasty Stains On Your Garage Floor

  • December 14th, 2009

I have a bunch of articles out there about garage floor coatings and coverings, but I know that there are many of us that don't have the money to buy things like that just because they want to. It's unfortunate that those same people who do not have much money are the same that generally change oil in their garage, which is likely the most common way of staining garage floors. Car manufacturers don't help; I used to have a Subaru that had a plastic cover that was almost impossible to remove, but went over the oil pan. There was a space for the drain bolt, but the oil, of course, never drained out of that hole, choosing instead to go every which way, hitting plastic and spraying all over the place. It was, to say the least, a mess[ READ MORE ]

Epoxy garage floor coatings are all the rage. Long gone are the old browns and grays that used to be associated with any type of garage floor paint. Today's garage floor finishes are often a shiny red, or sometimes even clear. Any time you see really eye-catching garage floors on TV, if they're a solid color, or only have flecks of color, then you're most likely looking at epoxy. Nearly all garage floor coatings nowadays will include the words epoxy, acrylic, and resin, but most people don't really know what these terms mean. In this article, we'll take a look at epoxy, what it is, and why it's used in practically every modern garage floor coating[ READ MORE ]

Your GPS Unit’s Not Complete Without the Right Software

When people submit reviews on the diverse GPS devices from the larger brands, they appear to focus primarily on the the device itself; the appearance, performance levels, and the user-friendliness of the unit. What those reviews normally ignore, regrettably, is the GPS Software which is required in order for the device to interface with the Windows or Mac systems correctly. This software is needed for functions like synchronizing and downloading the most recent maps and POI's to a GPS device. Similar to regular software, GPS software that is too hard to update should be avoided. Knowing about the differences between GPS software may not be the point that moves you to purchase one given brand, but knowing about the supporting software is important after you already put money down on one GPS device. The kinds of GPS software are going to often be practically identical for the range of models within a specific brand. A nice model to look into is the Garmin Nuvi 465t Truck GPS Navigator[ READ MORE ]
