    240v Receptacles

    Came across this thread in a search. The welder draws higher amps for shorter spikes in time so it should be safe. While you cannot assume anyone will know not to plug a stove in at the garage, one can never be so sure... I've actually seen some recent ads for garages to be rented as living...

    garage widening or new

    I do apologize for never posting back. My primary goal was widening only. Town will allow for UP TO 20x30. However long story short, like many other spouses my wife wasn’t/isn’t supportive of any of it..... yes standard 8 foot height. I have four fox body mustangs I want to keep, but may...

    garage widening or new

    I currently have a 17 (w) x 21 (d) garage, that is a nice car and a half garage. My size cap with the town, is 20x30 with a 14 foot height. Is adding a left side slab and widening the cinderblock garage viable? Ideally if I go 7-8 feet wider, I'll have plenty of room for what I need. Local...

    Us General Tool Box

    I have both a 26" three stack 1970s Craftsman box, plus a mid 80s C-man 35" Rally Roller box. Both are well made, hold plenty, and I'd put them up against anything "comparable" today. My 35" box, the drawers are smoother than the newer Craftsman, US General (HF), and even Snap On KRA boxes...

    Need help choosing a backpack blower and chainsaw

    My wife just bought me a Husqvarna 150BT blower from, yes, the big blue box store. I was so skeptical I didn't open the box, until I had raked and mowed for about 3 hours already. I opened the box, assembled it, got it running, and wow, does this thing have plenty of power. WAY better than the...

    $50 off $100 order @ Advance Auto

    Wearever has been decent for me. I used the Silver's on my explorer, but I was down to nothing and had no choice. I'd still prefer to do mail order with RA. The one dislike I have for RA is when so many items (even similar ones) ship from different warehouse locations, forcing us to spend even...
