    Any Welder recommendations for a newb

    I have an ESAB 250 migmaster which is way bigger than I need but it is smooth. My advice is to get a stick welder and practice a lot with it until you can produce nice welds. It will be a lot cheaper to purchase and use. You can weld damn near anything with a stick machine and don't need clean...

    Air Compressor prices..

    I purchased a 60 gal 5 hp upright craftsman 15 years ago. Have never done anything to it, damn noisy but works great. I think I paid around 600 for it and if I ever need to overhaul the compressor the parts are about 50 bucks. Other than the racket it makes I can't complain. I probably would buy...

    There will be a difference in the quality of the concrete and you have more options if you just order from a concrete company. I would use a fiber mix for what you're doing I think Everything about concrete is damn hard work, at 71 I hire concrete people and stay out of the way. I'm always happy...

    Wiring for TV in Garage

    I've been considering a HD antenna for local channels and streaming everything else. I stream everything now except local channels. We have u-verse and I use that to stream Roku. I would need to get an internet provider and set up my wi-fi network if I dropped u-verse but that wouldn't be a big...

    Garage ceiling (over existing drywall) solutions

    I just had a popcorn ceiling removed. The company that did it for me had a machine with a vacuum attached that really kept the mess down. Certa-pro painters was the name of the company, very happy with them. Hope it's ok to say that. If you don't have the equipment and experience that popcorn is...
