Here are some pictures of my over/under garage setup. View from the street, nothing looks out of the ordinary: View from the side, just a ground-level 3-car garage: Once you drive around to the rear of the house, you can see the entrance to the basement garage: The basement garage is also...

I have a 6 car garage built into my house: 3 in the basement, and 3 on the first/ground floor above it, with precast concrete joist/floor in between. 8 feet ceilings in the basement part, and 14 feet on the ground floor. It could easily hold 8 or 9 cars if you put lifts in the upper level. I...

Why would fox-style police locks be illegal? When I lived in a NYC walk-up, I had 3 Mul-T deadbolts on my door: 2 on the knob side and 1 on the hinge side, basically the same result. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Switch to cordless impact wrenches: not only does it eliminate the need for a 15cfm compressor to run them, but you can bring your 3/4" impact wrench to the dunes. Take the $500 you'd spend on a good compressor, and get more batteries and a welder. I've found 100's of unexpected and remote...

I just replaced one, it was 3/8x24, with a rubber disc to seal the shaft. The package also came with a 5/16x24 cap, so that might also be a common size. I bought the replacement from Amzn, plenty of options: search for drain caps. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
