Would love to see a sub-section of the Classified Area where people could list homes for sale that might be of interest to the Garage Journal forum members.

Is a set of SAE Mandrels & Noses available for the Astro Tool 1427?

What are the dimensions of the Ikea PS after amputations?

Guessing any closer that 4-3/8" would be impossible next to a 2x4 framed outer wall with 1/2" wall board, that's 4" add any baseboad trim and the wheels to outside of base plate, probably closer to 6" from edge of slab.

Can someone please provide the dimensions on the picture below? Trying to do some pre-planning for a MaxJax install, but you really can't figure arm reach without these two dimensions. Also the dimension of the rollers outside the plate would be useful as well (how close can you put it to a...

Similar questions here: I'm assuming its OK for the outer wall of the thimble to touch wood? The Bigg Maxx Instruction Manual says that for Residential Horizontal venting, the pipe should have 1/4" up angle per foot, rising away from the the heater. I have seen other posts indicating that...

Sorry for yet another Mr. Heater thread. I guess it's that time of year. Did anyone have an issue with the wiring knockouts. The knockouts in mine do not appear to sheared far enough so they can be removed. You start bending the rear panel before the knockout comes loose. Anyone just use a...
