    It's not big enough.

    Oops, forgot to come back. Phase 2 of the driveway was completed in 2022. Dog approved.

    It's not big enough.

    I'm back again with another update. In the ensuing months since my last post I turned my attention to my house for a much needed reroof and new roof HVAC. Then it was back to the garage and I started planning for the driveway as I was tired of driving and walking on loose, uneven gravel. The...

    It's not big enough.

    Hello again. I'm resurrecting this thread to bring you up to date on my garage life. In 2019, at the age of 73, maintaining a 1 acre property with a 4 bedroom, 3 bath house was getting to be a bit much. I decided to downsize and bought a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car attached garage. Of course, I...

    Hunter Ceiling Fan-light flickers, now no work

    You're having problems with Hunter fans because Hunter fans are **** and so is the warranty. I put them in three rooms in my house. After several years all three went bad in various ways at various times, either the lights or the motors.

    Best value compressor $600 range ???

    I bought the Campbell Hausfield from Home Depot in 2009 for about $450 with a 3 year warranty. A year later the pump shook itself to pieces. Turns out the hold down screws thread into the base with no nuts and vibrated loose. I got the pump replaced under warranty and the screws now have nuts...

    Twelve fixtures will be plenty for your garage but why spend that kind of money when you can get these: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lithonia-Lighting-2-Light-White-Electronic-Channel-Fluorescent-Strip-Light-C-2-32-120-GESB/100543144

    Electrician wants to install two of these in my garage. Bad idea?

    I suggest two-bulb fixtures where the bulbs sit below the body of the fixture. Like these: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lithonia-Lighting-2-Light-High-Output-Multi-Volt-T5-Compact-White-Fluorescent-Strip-Light-ZR-2-54T5HO-MVOLT-GEB10PS/203137160...

    32x30 attached new build

    It'd be nice if you could straighten out the front of the garage. But, if you can't I go along with moving the man door to the side of the addition and you'd have room for a 16' garage door on the right which will give you a lot of flexibility if you wanted to put two cars in on that side. As...

    My attached 1 car garage + workshop project

    Here are some ideas: 1 - A couple of ropes and pulleys and you can suspend it from the ceiling beams. 2 - Move your workbench a couple of feet away from the window and roll it behind the workbench. Doesn't look like you'll lose much floor space. 3 - What I did in my shop (if you have the...

    My little renovation project

    Nice. Reminds me of the chess game in The Prisoner episode where people where the chess pieces.

    Bar Stools

    Those things aren't cheap anymore. Sams Club and Walmart have shop stools for about $50. I've also seen them at auto supply stores.

    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    I've only read this last page so I don't know if it's been mentioned before. Check your newspapers for HF coupons. I get the 20% off and freebie coupons every week and use them every time I go into the store.
