    Short steep driveway - can't get into my garage!

    I think the simple solution would be to call some concretors in to have a look at it. Ask them if they can install a concrete driveway that is steeper at the road, and then levels off a bit into the garage. The steepness at the beginning may be a little difficult in snow, but I think it's going...

    28x40 garage wall falls who to blame???

    Sorry to hear about your dilemma, Crawler07. Your frustration is apparent. I like what PAToyota has been telling you. My advice from afar is to re-read his posts. It's time to stop worring about who's to blame and to get on with fixing this problem. Get a bobcat in and clean up and go from...

    My little Aussie shed

    Top thread Lee. I love the con job you played on us at the beginning. I was thinking "but hey, we can already see inside that shed!". Your humour comes out all through the thread. :thumbup:

    Which House & Garage to Buy?

    No 2's position in a cul-de-sac is more attractive than you might realize. If you have children or are going to have children, they can play more safely outside your home. Just from what you've written, I like No. 2 over all.

    I need some advice. Help please.

    I've been in a similiar situation to yours. Bottom line: daughters and fathers have a strange relationship. They can make you the third wheel in your own house. Lose him.

    Does anybody buy 3/4" Socket sets anymore?

    I picked up a Hazet metric set the other day from a pawn shop for $60.00. It came with a ratchet head, break bar, two extensions, a swivel joint and 12 sockets. The biggest is 60mm. This means that I now have three sets! I have to sell one at least (I'm looking at the Chinese one). I do use...

    Women who hate garages / shops

    I don't want to play marriage counselor here, 68 Bird, but it strikes me that what your wife wife wants is YOU, and not just all of the hard work that you do. She's not saying 'come up here to the house and do more work for me', she's saying 'I want you to stay here and talk to me'. Some...

    I hate selling things on ebay

    He can't really do that, Bsaint. I buy a lot of stuff from the US, and if it's marked "Ships to: United States" then I don't bid. If I wanted something desperately, I would write to the seller and beg them to consider sending it to me at my cost if I bought it. In my communications with US...

    BBQ Snap On Box

    I was about to phone about this box that was advertised on Gumtree (like Craigslist), then I noticed it is actually a BBQ! I don't like to imagine its condition below the grate. I like the viking imprint though. Is anyone familiar with these boxes? Sorry about the photo quality. $50.00, by the way.

    My green parts cabinet. I paid $250 for it about a year ago.

    Show your new tool arrivals

    A few things I bought recently. Some bargains, some full price. $120 for the white box $150 for the drill press $1500 for the snap on boxes (they're much more expensive over here, I should quickly add, and I paid a premium because I wanted boxes to match my green parts cabinet).

    Anyone have feedback from snapon since..

    I'm Australian, but the "USA" stamp is important for me as a clear indication of quality and a sign that no sneaky branding of Chinese stuff is taking place. Blue Point is pretty well out of bounds for this reason. Heaven knows who makes it these days. I've begun looking at Stahlwille wrenches...

    26x27 detached in So Cal

    I'm stunned by your welding skills. It's too much. I might have to sell my welders. :bowdown:
