    Seeking clever ideas to solve a drainage issue for existing garage

    That was my first idea as well, but the first gutter contractor who actually showed up to take a look didn't seem to think he would be able to make that work - but I might just need a better gutter contractor? Haha The short section of gutter is at the same elevation as the longer section of...

    Seeking clever ideas to solve a drainage issue for existing garage

    You don't think I'd still face an erosion issue if the downspout exited right where the slabs meet there? I definitely think I would still end up with ice problems in the winter

    Seeking clever ideas to solve a drainage issue for existing garage

    My wife and I have been in what will likely be our "forever home" for about 1.5 years now, and we have have diligently working to try to address issues that were either neglected or created by the previous owner. One of the issues on the to do list is to figure out how in the world to deal with...

    M18 string trimmer issue (melted battery)

    A 9ah, however, sometimes I run out of juice with few spots left to do, and in those times, I toss in one of my 3ah batteries. It'll chew through the 3ah batteries pretty quick, but to be fair, they are factory refurb batteries that I got for Christmas in 2010.... I do generally run it on the...

    M18 string trimmer issue (melted battery)

    I've had mine for a while now, I bought it right when the Gen2 trimmer with the ability to change attachments came out. I've definitely not melted anything, but it definitely puts a pretty heavy load on the batteries. All in all, I'm very happy with mine, it certainly beats the noise and...

    FYI, this thread was started in July of 2020, I'm willing to bet the OP has found some gloves by now.

    Overhead garage storage?

    So you are looking for one big shelf that you can raise and lower? I imagine that with some creativity, you could make something similar to the products you listed using parts from a unistrut catalog and either a hand crank or small electric winch.

    Pipe to use with my air compressor

    I've used standard plumbing Pex for the past 4 years and I've been extremely satisfied with it. The ease of installation, low price, ease expandability were all top of mind for me when I made the choice in materials.

    My Dream Garage Build Out

    I'd like to hear more about the Supra as well, but also about the SeaDoos! As a lifelong gearhead, and one who grew up living on a reservoir in the 90s, I will always have a soft spot for 90s SeaDoos, before they got too terribly bloated. We went through a couple of SPs that seemed to be...

    Lift Suggestions

    I've been shopping around for a lift myself, and I'm leaning towards the Triumph C7000. Similar concept to the MaxJax, but higher lift height capacity and more locking positions. No casters to wheel the columns around, but if I find myself actually moving the columns with any regularity, then...
