    Having trouble deciding on a new MIG

    Can you help a clueless welding noob out here with some more insight on the advantages of stepping up to the 215? Been set on the 211 for a year or so but somehow a spare $1,038 has failed to materialize in my bank account. Everything I've read says this is a great choice for those with little...

    Compacting fill before concrete

    The general contractor we wire houses for pours their garage floors after all rough-in inspections are done, before that they run a hose nonstop for a day or two. Settles around the foundation walls up to four feet sometimes. Takes a while to dry out though. After that you could use a jumping...

    Are Mac tools boxes as good of quality as Snap-on or Matco boxes?

Played with many of the boxes my friend, a Snappy dealer had, both new and traded in to him. The quality...

    My 2-Car Porcelain Tile Install....

    I will cut you a break here and break the chain by NOT asking a question, just thanks for sharing all the information you have already, and the floor looks damn good. You have educated the masses on the suitability of tile for shop floors.

    Garage outlets help

    ^ THIS. I think I would start with some kind of fish rod and drill a hole down through the top plate, stick the rod in as far as possible, pull it out and measure, then go down and see if you made it to 48" or whatever height you're shooting for. If there's nothing horizontally in the stud bay...
