    I've been getting from Amazon delivered for cheaper than I can buy it at the pet store. It get delivered right in my enclosed porch so I don't have to do a lot of lifting. From Amazon, it comes as prime so there isn't any big delay. I try to stay a couple bags ahead.

    We've got 2 of those and also the Catit Design SmartSift. And a clay box as we are just converting to the scoopable litter. Still have one kitty that doesn't seem to like the new stuff. I'll use the scoop litter in the old box for a while and get another Omega paw to replace it.

    Even the dog got in on the act. Our little princess abby. Such a cute lil chit!!

    Tip: If you would prefer not to alter the workbench.. cut and size some 2x4 lumber to the same size as the bottom bench supports, counter-sink the casters flush in the 2x4's and use some U-Bolts U-Bolts - Bolts - Fasteners - Hardware -  The Home Depot
    to secure the 2x4 rollers to the bench supports - this way you can easily remove / reattach the casters, depending on need.

    Absolutely nothing if your floor hasn't got standing water on it. I've got 2x4 untreated spruce on cement 40 years with no signs of deterioration.

    All depends the humidity from the floor. Water and wood not a good mix, sponge to decay.

    I had no idea how hard humidity is for so many til I joined FHC. Most the basements in Colo never get wet, and are finshished, with carpet and the whole 9 yards. I guess that explains the water stains in her earlier post that couldn't identify.

    My basement floor wicks up water easily - I am feet from a swamp. The reason I have ripped out walls and the built-in workshop cabinets was because they were nasty with rot from being wet. Also why I will have to cut down the shelves (earlier post) and try to save the upper portion. Even the pressure treated lumber at the bottom of the wall framing was crumbling from the moisture. Here are pics of a couple of walls I took out last year - and these were good compared to the workshop I just ripped out, since they were in the "dryer" part of the basement.

    My last house was 600' higher than my present house. On the side of a ridge and the basement stayed dry so we finished it. This basement will never be completely "finished" as it is too low, close to the water table, and is dampish in the spring-early fall. I also have some water infiltrate from the garage during heavy rains, but I'm close to solving that issue (I think - I'll see next year). But, regardless, it is damp, and no amount of mitigation is going to solve that unless I can magically lift the house and put another 5-10 feet of fill underneath.

    I am across from a river but on the side of a hill that higher than it is. My foundation walls have several cracks that are vertical and non structural where one would leak during heavy rains due to the walls being below grade and no gutters on the roof. I put up with it for years but it kept getting worse. I finally tried this and its been bone dry for 7-8 years now. Easy as can be and took maybe an hour and a half to complete. Most of the time is waiting for the epoxy to set up after installing the ports. I used the polyurethane kit without the easy peel. That means the epoxy is still on the wall but that doesnt bother me one bit

    Water comes in my garage door from the driveway. Although there is a small channel to carry the water to the back of the garage, where there is a sump pump, if it rains hard the water overflows the channel and comes into the basement under the entry door. I had the driveway torn up and redone last year and they sloped it toward the low part of the yard, but "low part" is not saying much.
