I agree. So simple and so cheap to make. I see another project to put on my list.

Hi Mad57, You're right about the battery power being very short. In fact, the camera system I am looking at last only about 3 hours but they state it's only for temporary use. That's why they also have the AC adapter for normal use

Mikester, I have a wired dual camera system attached to my detached garage with one camera pointing at my garage door and man-door and the other camera pointing at the rear of my house. I then have the cameras connected to a laptop wich runs a freeware program called catspy 1.0 Catspy has...

In a word, yes.

Yes, this is closer to what I want to do - extend the roof out and support it. I talked to a small company last week and will look at their plans tomorrow. If it looks good then it's up to the city to allow it. My house is on two full lots but I still can't add anything more than a house on a...

Here's a picture of the garage near the end of having the extension done. I want to extend the carport forward. Hey 70Chevy. I almost bought a house in Garden City a couple of years ago.

Has anyone had a carport added to their garage? My wife wants one before the snow falls as she's not allowed to put any vehicles in my garage. I've enlarged the original 2 1/2 car by adding to the front, adding insulation and heating and built it into my woodshop. She has no problems on how I...

Add me as another woodworker on this forum

The Wardflex, I assume is CSST? I thought CSST was not good for underground as it was susceptible to exploding if the ground was hit by lightning. See: http://www.lightning.org/default.php?page=lpi_information&subnav=csst_lightning&screen_height=652&screen_width=1397

My friend, who owns his own heating and cooling business, set me up. I am using a 45000BTU Mr Heater in my garage. The line run from house to garage is about 75'. This line is 1". Once it comes into the garage it's reduced to 1/2". So far so good. That baby really heats up my 720sq ft...

Catch22 - Do you live anywhere near the Canadian - US border? My Canadian motorcycle friends have similar problems with some bike parts and have the items delivered to friends in, for example, Detroit and take it across the border themselves. This can help in the total cost and, assuming you're...

Thanks Shocker. I took a look at average lows in the Detroit area. For Dec through Feb the average low is around 20 degrees. However, I'm never working in the garage during the wee hours. So, perhaps the 45K is adequate for me. If not, I have a couple of propane heaters I can use to...

I bought a Mr Heater 45K BTU from Northern Tool last year and plan on having a gas line run from the house to the garage. I also bought the vertical exhaust kit at the same time. Now, I have a few questions: As I have no faith in my ability to do any cutting on my roof without screwing it up...

That's what I did too. Someone in the family recently got a kitchen update so I'm quite pleased at getting upper and lower cabinets - for free!

I would like to connect lengths of 3/4" black pipe and tap off of them at intervals on two walls of my garage. I have the Sears 33gal compressor and would like to know what I need, in the way of adapters so I can 1) connect the compressor to the black pipe and 2) tap off the black pipe at...
