This is a great discussion and I'm on the lookout for a set. :) I don't know if I can justify a "new" set, but I"m keeping my eye open for a good used set. :D

Hey, I love tools as much as the next guy. I don’t have any 3/4 Ratchets or sockets. Question is, what are these primarily used for? I assume big rigs and construction equipment…. I wouldn’t mind a set, but I just haven’t had the need.

I have a piece of a cross tie

I use jack stands when I'm getting under the car, otherwise just leave it on the jack.

I'm getting closer to working on this project. I got the grass and weeds cut down and cleaned out the junk. Got to make some repairs and then I can start. Quick question, anyone ever paint the inside of the barn?

THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC BTW!!!! LOVE IT.

TSP?

Thanks y'all! Love this advice. I didn't know anything about Fibered Aluminum Reflective Roof Coating, but that sounds perfect. I like the idea of the silver roof and red sides.

Hi y'all. I've got a couple of old barns from the 1950s on the property and they're in need of some TLC. They've been pretty much neglected for the last 10-15 years. I've got to do some repairs, but then I also need to paint them. The barn still have a little The barns have the old time tin...

Went through a rather extensive hoard of paint looking for the colors to do some home repairs. Opened all the cans and painted samples of drywall. Turns out that none of them are what I needed! Isn't that always the way it is?

Nice. Did you buy that or make it? I'd like that.

I did a similar thing and have a similar problem. Wife is leaving for a trip and I know the car is dripping oil so I checked it. It wasn’t low and I can’t figure out where that leak is coming from.

I'm going to resurrect this old thread in lieu of starting a new one. I am a DIY guy at home, but it would be good to ensure my wrench is calibrated (or close to it). What do y'all think about this? Calibrating Your Torque Wrench on YouTube

Not "In" the garage, but garage related.... Ordered some service manuals for my project.

When I did my little shop at home, I ran a line of plugs at counter height (Around 4' off floor) and a row of plugs at floor height (about 18" off floor). There are plugs roughly every 4' along the wall. Several different circuits. It's so great to always have an outlet close.
