    awhile back i ground the old adhesive off my backyard patio after removing the sunroom walls and i finally was able to stain and seal it this weekend. This was a water based stain that was called "Pewter" but it must have reacted to this type of concrete because it was super white and came out almost a blue/grey tone. Its not exactly what we wanted but works and looks better than before.

    Once that was completed and sealed i didnt like the tiny concrete step so i ran to Lowes and grabbed some wood and composite decking material and made a full width step down from the slider to the slab.

    I just need to fill and paint the trim and the wall and we're good to go. Much nicer space.

    I do, but I would need to make two trips if I needed my table saw also. My only complaints are the small supports that come standard with it, and adjusting the height of them is a bit clumsy.

    thanks, we have a big table and chairs and plan to build outdoor cabinetry on the house corner walls with a sink since i have the drain access right there. So with the color not being exactly what we wanted it wont be as bad when everything is on top of it. Im just so glad we can finally use the backyard after 2 years of that shit sunroom.

    Installed a new front door. Picked it up for $100 on offerup, sanded and refinished it, then sold my old one for $100. Not bad!

    An old Ikea dining room table from our last house, I put casters on the leg and framed in the right height with 2x4's. The miter saw pulls out and the router drops in, both ends slide closed and it stores up against the front wall of the garage when not in use.

    I do also really like that miter saw, Makita with a 12"blade. It has all the adjustments to completely zero it in and it's never moved on me. It's a more basic version, does not slide, max width board is a 2x8, but if im cutting something bigger than that im typically using a circular saw on it anyways

    Granted, this table is useless if you are taking it to jobsites, then it's two sawhorses and a piece of 3/4 plywood
