Remove deck boards and flip them over.

Ex-wife managed this project in 2014, I only had to paint the walls and install the dishwasher. Cabinets were a maple finish, she had a crew from NHance come in and paint them, they took the doors and drawer faces back to their shop to paint. All new granite countertops, appliances, sink...

My Dad lived about 5 miles from me and he had a well-equipped wood shop in two bays of a 3-car attached garage. Everything was on wheels so it could be moved into the corner or the basement during the winter to get two cars in there. He also had a shed full of rough sawn hardwoods that he...

Pull down the 2 light sockets and replace with 2-gang outlets. Buy 4 T-8 light fixtures and plug into the outlets.

Those bolt bins look nice and professional but I would never use up all that space and spend time looking for stuff when I can make a list of what I need and order it from Grainger. If you need it fast they will put it in will call and you can pick it up. Or you can browse through your...

My son bought a house with this Equipto in the basement, I repainted it and rewired the outlet. His wife didn't want it back. I had no room for it, so it went to another family member.

When I was laid off for most of 2009, one of the things I did to keep busy was to sell or scrap a lot of the junk I had. Sold all of my old Mopar car parts at a swap meet, sold kids toys and video games on Craigs. All scrap metal was given to local guy, lumber and panels put out to curb...

Make a list of all tasks to complete a project and check them off as you go. I did this at work as well as for home projects. Make a list of materials that you need for the short term before you go to the home improvement store. Stick to your list and don't buy tools and other **** that you...

I've seen several people on this thread suggest contacting the lift manufacturer to see what they could do. At this point I think that is the best compromise. A lawsuit could take years, and a judgement in your favor may never be paid. I designed custom equipment for many years, and we would...

Great looking build, take your time and don't kill yourself.

Mine is 42 X 21 attached with 11' ceiling, fully insulated. Bedroom above garage felt cold in winter, so I added a 240v Farenheat space heater, keep it set at 60*. Cost to electric bill is about $40 per month from November to March.
