Mirage - I like that! Will check out what our Loews has, thanks!

Thanks to all for the advice. Will go with 1.25. Will check with local plumbing supply to see if they can put a 22.5 degree bend at the 18 inch mark of each 6.5 foot piece. Hopefully they can thread as well. Will use 3 legs to support, hopeing heavy duty rail brackets will hold off the 1.25 inch...

I'm waiting on estimates from 2 different iron workers. But with a few 90 degree fittings and a couple of ******* I can adjust to get parrallel to the stairs. At the end of the day, I'll compare my process that will run around a $100, to what the pros want with their enhanced quality.

Thinking about using a 1inch x 10 ft piece of threaded galvanized sch 40 pipe as a stair railing. Add 2 - 90 degree elbows and 2 - 5 ft legs cemented 2 ft into the ground. Seems to be almost 2 simple. My concerns are: Will there be sag or flex is that 10 ft run? Should I go to 1 1/4 inch in...

Got a quote of $7.25 sq ft. Included grinding, vapor coat, epoxy 100% solids, clear coat. 800 square ft garage, 3-4 day job. This is my first quote, is it ballpark?

Anybody willing to post some pics of unusual, cool, unique garage/workbench lights? Got a 3 car garage with 5-100 watt eqv lights but need something efficient yet unique to light the workbench. Looking for ideas, thanks!

When I painted my last garage Behr ultra pure white in semi gloss, my neighbor walked in and said "it looks so sterile". I said "why thank you!"

If it's a Samsung, then check out the CNET website for more info. I found out that mine were going and Samsung was doing a one time "under warranty" fix. Worked for me. Give 'em a call.

Ok, I've no friends with bigger compressors so will just keep taking it to the local blaster and pony up the $25/$35 bones. Thanks for the comments!

Will a 4 gallon Craftsman pancake compressor run a Harbor Freight 20 Oz. Hopper Gravity Feed Spot Blaster Gun? The gun says it needs 7CFM, while my compressor only gives 1.7 CFM. Having never done this before, it would seem that the numbers don't support the gun. BUT, I'm in no hurry, it's a...

Out here on the Left Coast I bought a Honda 2000 (2Kw) generator. It uses a gallon a gas a day (give or take), is quiet, and portable. Figured if we make it thru the "big one" then all I really need is the fridge and a light in the living room. As needed it will give clean power for the pc/tv...

Well... I went ahead and checked the 2 local stores to confirm the online price of $75 (less the 20% coupon) . Just picked it up and quickly signed the credit card slip, but thought I heard her say $34.99 or so..... Driving home I figured I just got the wrong item, but opened it up and it's the...

All - I like the size of the cabinet and have not found anything close. So, wanted to cut out the center of each door and replace with some plexiglass. Leave about 3 inches of the door all the way around. Have lightweight petroliana to display and was hoping the cut would not hurt the strength...
