    Gutters on garage filling with leaves. Ideas?

    take'm off! if ya gotta have something up there, put up those little venetian blind lookin diverter louver thingys. make sure the yard drains away from the foundation and put gravel at the drip line. If you don't have drainage problems, the only reason to have gutters is to collect the...

    Ceiling Fan...you got to see this one

    I'm just interested in keeping cool. I can make ceiling room, but I hadn't thought about the strobe effect. :shocking: Thanks kbs, might be the deciding factor. I think I may have 1 single area unaffected by door tracks, storage or this strobe effect. Big enough for a 52" fan, which is the...

    Window unit vs portable vs split system

    After thinking about it a little, I think solid wood is probably a pretty good insulator. I need to put a gasket at the bottom and work on getting the rails tight and as close to the frame sides as possible. I bought a $100 10K BTU window unit last night. Seemed to cool pretty good last...

    Window unit vs portable vs split system

    I've started putting solar film on the windows of the garage doors. Ceiling, I will probably have fiberglass blown in this winter. The walls are nicely finished and painted plywood. The wall finish is real nice and I'd hate to have to pull them to be able to insulate. The question is, how do...

    Window unit vs portable vs split system

    yeah, I think insulation is the only way to go. The bay doors are sw facing and have a huge heat gain during the afternoon. I started putting film on the windows yesterday. I'm not really sure I like the look (silver reflective) on the front of the house, but if it helps keep temps down then...

    Window unit vs portable vs split system

    I have a 750 sq ft., three bay garage with no insulation, that I would like to cool down. Tx summer heat usually drives me into the house by about 1-2 pm. and it doesn't really start to cool off until 10p. I have a good buddy that owns an A/C company. He told me he would install a system...

    Ceiling Fan...you got to see this one

    i've got an old Hunter ceiling fan. Could I just fabricate some big *** replacement blades. Make 'em as light as I can, copying the design from these guys and have similar effeciency. I would think as long as I kept the replacements light and balanced then it would work. Go for it? or am I...

    The Morgue

    At 2 tons, I wouldn't either. I have 3 ton jack stands for that. The ramps work real good for my bros. Alfa though.

    The Morgue

    The caddy needs new upholstery, a motor mount and a L exhaust manifold and a little bit of work on the elec. The back window got busted out and it sat with water in it for a while. Unfortunately I didn't get any work done out there this WE, but paint and reorganization IS coming soon...

    The Morgue

    :lol: :lol: The house is mostly brick, but the paint is tan with terracotta trim. The trim has faded on the front to a slightly pinkish color. And the photo has a definite pick cast. :p :supergay: Those are my rugs...I don't have a welder, so I don't have to worry about fire. When I set...

    another hooked newb

    :lol: I think "finished" is even less likely to be applied to the garage, than it is to the toys. Occasionally with the toys I get to the point where everything is how I like it. In the garage....don't think that will come true, unless I win the lottery. But then, just think of the...
