I don’t know for sure there is a void but knowing how they backfill around basements without compacting so it doesn’t push on the walls and that you have to come back years later and fill in what has settled I’m assuming there’s a void. Also looking under the house along the same basement wall...

All I know about it is what I’ve read online so I appreciate your insight. The garage floor has not dropped or even cracked so I thought the foam may be a less costly way to fill the void to help keep water out.

I’ve thought about drilling holes along the wall and doing something like that but I have no idea how much it will take. I think that product could get pretty expensive. I know some mud Jack businesses use an expanding foam that’s supposed to be more stable. Can’t find a DIY kit or any info to...

I have a crack in my basement wall that weeps when we have a hard rain. Theirs an attached garage and a small room that border the wall. I’ve crawled under the room part and can tell the ground has settled from where the basement was dug. I assume it’s also settled under the garage floor. Is...

I used ceiling white on the ceiling and walls of my first garage thinking the brighter the better but It was too bright. Eye strain would set in after an hour or two. Ended up repainting the walls to tone it down some.

I've had both on different properties. Noise and fumes are the main downside to attached. We raced at the time and had small children. Often times I had to schedule work around nap and bed times as quarter mile cars seem to be loud, you could even feel the vibrations though the house. We have a...

Helped my oldest son get his truck ready to pull a Christmas float in the local parade.

My son and I Fixed a sticky control dampener in his girlfriends Ford Focus. Who knew you had to dismantle half the dash to get to it.

Not too many people will sign up to run such a project so cuto's to Blacknwhitepit for spending the time and effort to organize this. Unfortunately, I would need to fill pages of quick ramblings to get enough posts to qualify. Guess I'll be living vicariously though everyone else. Have fun!

Pulled the motor out of monster cart. The son that built it is off at college and my Dad has some "undisclosed" plan for it. URL=http://s1376.photobucket.com/user/Myskunkape8u/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-10/9B895DDE-B973-4210-9140-068549ACFCEF_zpsklucgik0.jpg.html][/URL]

It was part of a locomotive shops bridge crane. We bought it from a scrap iron guy who scrapped out the shop before it was torn down. We've had it around thirty years or so. Oh, and we move it a fork truck when needed.

It's a 36" X 16.5". Weighs roughly 1,200 pounds.

Not exactly an anvil but you can beat on it all day long.

Had a couple tornados on the ground within 5 miles of us. Luckily didn't hit any towns and caused little damage. We did see Reid Timmer and his group from storm chasers in town. His Facebook page has a short video of one of the tornados forming.

Extra doors coming in handy. Tornados dropping left and right around here tonight. Another truck under a lean too in back and one more in the barn.
