    Spiders!! And other undesirable garage helpers

    I use a product called Onslaught. The spiders make it past it, but not for long. Once it's dry I believe it's safe for the critters, it's safe to use in food areas that aren't for food prep (per FDA). So I spray about a 2 to 3 foot wide strip from edge to edge at the garage door. Find lots...

    Compressor Drain Question

    I drain after each use. I've installed a street elbow with ****** and ball valve for the drain to make the job a one toe affair.

    Leave it or move it.

    Crabgrass attack!

    Atrazine. Though I don't know what it'll do to your other grass. And just FYI is is pretty nasty stuff. Spray it on as directed and wait about 15 days. It won't look like it's doing much til then.

    Crimping speaker wire

    I've had this crimper since the early 90's. Good for my uses. Shouldn't have to go ape on them to crimp speaker wire. I normally just apply enough force to feel the handles flex and it's good. Squeeze 'em with nothing in them and you'll feel what I'm talking about. I'd also reckon it...

    Home Depot Clearance Thread 2016

    Picked up a Husky 30gal twin cylinder cast iron compressor last night, 330.06. It had been hovering at 369.9X since January. I was in need of a smaller compressor and didn't feel like tempting fate any more than I had.

    Dalton to torson spring

    Hi y'all, Just purchased a new house with a two car attached garage. I have plans for a lift down the road as I have OK height in the ceiling, like 10'2". It's better than the single car 7' ceiling I came from. Anyway, I want to use a lack shaft door opener as the space overhead is fairly...
