The DeWalt Compact Jobsite saw is packed with thoughtful features that make it durable, accurate, and easy to use. All of the adjustments on the saw are tool-free, including removing the throat plate for blade changes, adjusting or removing the riving knife, and installing the Site-Pro blade guard. Everything about the DeWalt Compact Jobsite Saw seems so well engineered and then I went to slide the miter gauge in the miter slot and it has quite a lot of play (I’d say at least 1/32″) and there’s no way to adjust it. The DeWalt 10″ Compact Jobsite Table Saw with Stand is an impressive little package with plenty of power to conquer almost any remodeling job.

Last month (February, 2019) we installed Motordeck Polypropylene Garage Floor Tile from The Home Depot in our two-car garage workshop. We intend for this article to be a long-term review of the tile that we’ll revisit in future years to see how Motordeck is holding up 1, 3, 5, and 10 years out! We installed Motordeck with a double layer of landscaping fabric between the slab and the tile. Motordeck Tile is available exclusively at The Home Depot and comes in 10 colors as well as two patterns (double diamond plate and coin).

Today’s article is about the installation of Motordeck brand polypropylene tile flooring, a product available exclusively at Home Depot’s online store. I decided to use Microsoft PowerPoint to design the floor, basically by creating a grid of small squares (each representing as 12″ x 12″ tile) and coloring them using the “fill color” tool in PowerPoint. The one good thing about picking the simple pattern: it turns out Motordeck tile is shipped in 2 x 2 squares (i.e., four tiles are pre-attached to one another for a 24″ x 24″ block). This is a completely optional step, but we found that landscaping fabric significantly muted the “clicking” sound between the tile and the garage floor, and that doubling up the landscape fabric had an even better muting effect on the floor.
