    The RoboReel Again...

    Very clever idea and design. As to the price point, my guess is that he isn't buying in high enough quantities to get his prices down and is trying to recoup a significant investment in tooling costs. The gear motor alone in there could be costing him $50.00. The programable electronics didn't...

    how do utility guys find broken wires underground?

    Back around 1975 I watched my grandfather find a break in a 12/2 underground line using only an ohmmeter. I was only 12 or 14 years old so I don't remember exactly what he did. The line was about 80 feet long. He measured resistance in one or both legs (power off I'd guess), maybe from both...

    Concrete cutting and secret doors

    I guess the order of the pictures may have been confusing. Start in the garage (new pictures), door closed, then door open. Step down 30" into basment compressor/dust collector room. This is a small 6x8 room. Slide open peg board door and walk into basment next to red tool box. The last...

    Concrete cutting and secret doors

    I was going to wait until I fixed up my garage a bit before posting this, but not sure when that might happen. So...My garage is kind of small at 19x20 so I keep most of my tools in my basement shop. It's a real hassel running back and forth through the house, up and down stairs, when I am...

    What do you use for wall coverings?

    Way too expensive for a big garage, but does anybody have any experience with these panels? I got a rough quote of $2.10 per sqft plus shipping and trim pieces. Used in the car wash industry. I have concrete walls for the lower half of my garage and want some thing that will look better than...

    Mini Split on a roof?

    Looking at the Fujitsu 9RLS. Very efficient and only 49db. About the same noise level as a good dishwasher. So, yep, noise won't be an issue. Also qualifies for the tax credit. Jackfre... The airtech bracket is interesting. I've got some aluminum extrusions in the shop so I could probably...
