    Cleaning stains off untreated concrete

    I tried a bunch of home methods with limited success, but what really worked for me was scheduling a professional deep cleaning. The crew had the right equipment and got rid of stains I couldn’t budge on my own. It wasn’t that expensive either, and way easier than scrubbing for hours with mixed...

    HVAC contractor pricing - no thanks

    I’ve spent time researching and could’ve done it myself too, but yeah, with these newer systems, it’s not as simple as the old days. The high SEER stuff has so much tech in it now, and if something goes wrong, you're gonna need someone who knows how to handle it. If you’re into HVAC and want to...

    Workshop Pencils and Markers - share your thoughts!

    For wood and metal, I’ve had a lot of luck with Pica markers; they’re my go-to for anything that needs bold, clear marks. I like the Pica “Visor” markers too for general labeling, since they’re super visible and work on pretty much any surface. If you’re looking to try out other brands, sites...

    Garage door springs HELP

    A couple of months ago, I came home to find my garage door completely unresponsive. Turns out, one of the springs had snapped. At first, I thought I'd tackle it myself, but after a bit of research, I quickly realized that messing with those high-tension springs can be pretty dangerous if you...

    Basketball Garage

    The first thing to do is to cut one piece of round rod and one piece of wire (they must be the same length). Then you have to bend two rings out of these pieces. Then you have to weld them together. The basketball backboard itself can be made of plywood or chipboard. It is desirable to use a...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT building my BIG PARTY garage

    I know the feeling. It is more expensive and time-consuming whenever outdoor infrastructure needs attention than your most pessimistic estimate. It also requires an inordinate number of tools you must run back and forth to the garage. Luckily procured it at a discount. Just my luck at . Plus...

    Walker Turner DP Questions

    Hello. I can't know how old this technique is because I don't see the photos up close. Of course, I can open these images in a separate window. But still, I'd like you to take more detailed pictures that would give us an idea of the characteristics of this. I think I saw such a Walker Turner DP...

    Garage door quotes which do you think is the best value?

    I think a lot of additional information is still needed. I think you could find someone who has already done it nearby. When I had the same situation, I ordered my new garage doors at https://doorsdirect2u.co.uk/product-category/garage-doors/. I've got a friend working here, so he's actually...

    Solar Swimming Pool Heat DIY with Hubitat / Webcore Automation

    Still, it's very nice to see when someone organizes such a detailed display of the work done. For those who are planning to install a pool, it's a great help. I would build a similar system, but I don't have to rely on the sun on. For heating the water and to extend the bathing season, I took...

    Most comfortable work boots?

    I had the same problem once: I had just started a new job and realized that my work boots didn't fit at all. After each work day, when I took my shoes off, my feet looked insanely swollen, with blisters and sores. That's when I realized that I urgently needed to change my work boots for new...
