    Building in NC, Pole or Steel frame ?

    I live in Charlotte, and I will say that the humidity here during the summer (when we aren't in a drought like last year) is quite high. I have a shed that is built to the same standards and methods as a house, other than no insulation or interior wallboard / covering, and it has a bad moisture...

    Pet Door without cutting garage door?

    I would think that if the dog is that big, then there wouldn't be a problem with entry of thiefs. And, with a removable door like that, you could take it out when the dog isn't in there. I think its a great idea. Let us know how it works out.

    Hvac Price Oh My God!!!!

    I would have to disagree with saying that getting someone to do the job on the side is the same as sending jobs to China. The money sent to China doesn't come back, and doesn't go back into our economy. Any money I would pay a guy here in the US is money that, at least at some point, will be...

    Did anyone watch "Garage Mahal" on DIY tonight?

    That is such a ridiculous amount of money for what was done. Much less $38k like someone else said on here. They must have wasted a ton of money on things that you never see / use. I seems like one of those things that looks nice, and you can imagine it being great, but in the end, most of...

    Will this drive me nuts??

    I don't see why you would have a problem installing the fans if they are installed between the banks of lights. Wade

    Problem with neighbor's new house

    This is actually incorrect, depending on where you live. I have had a bit of experience with this in NC, and the restrictions on a property when the deed is written are restrictions that are able to be enforced by "any aggrieved party." You would have to take it to court in most cases, and you...

    Will this drive me nuts??

    For what it's worth... I didn't think mine would bother me at all... but it did. It drove me nuts to much that I tried about 5 different locations and different ways to do it. Then my neighbor made me feel like an idiot when he brought me two 24" downtubes. This lowered the fans enough that...

    Lifts, Complete Hydraulic good or bad

    I just got my Complete Hydraulics TCPL6 today. It was given to me as a gift, so I was unsure what to expect. I know it isn't the lift you are asking about, but as this is a cheaper, less capable model, I feel that the model you are asking about can only be better. Granted, I have only had...

    Strange Bidder History on eBay

    Yeah, kinda funny looking. But after that it looks like real people bid on it, so ebay probably wont do anything. Wade

    Race Deck just as bad as Aluminum Siding?

    I know that RaceDeck has some tiles that have a mesh top to them, rather than solid, to allow water, etc... to run to the floor, then through tracks / openings in the bottom of the tiles, and to your drain or door if you have a sloped floor. I wouldn't believe any claims that the joints between...

    Newbie, Wood floor thanks

    I had 8" Carbides on my Yamaha when I lived in Alaska. They will cut through racedeck tiles like butter. Just moving the machine across the floor once will leave gouges in the tiles. Hell, mine left gouges in my concrete. I ended up building some dollies to put under the skis with heavy duty...

    New Guy... Scissor lift with RaceDeck?

    I believe it's one of the clones from Complete Hydraulics?. It's being given to me as a Christmas present, and all I know so far is that it will be at the Yellow freight terminal near my house shortly. I'm told that I should have a pickup date by the end of the week. I'm anxious to get it and...

    Garage overhaul...just a few questions...

    If you modify the track (height) on only the left and right doors, or only the middle door, you will have enough room for 1 or 2 liftmasters. But looking at how close those doors are, I don't think you can run liftmasters on all three. Have you looked into the Wayne Dalton iDrive system? I...

    New Guy... Scissor lift with RaceDeck?

    Thanks Mike, I figured as much. I would be laying the trafficmaster (similar to racedeck) tiles on top of the VCT just under the lift with the idea that a few tiles will get messed up from the lift. Then I could replace just the messed up ones once or twice a year at about $10-15 total...

    Newbie, Wood floor thanks

    Have you looked at the tiles from home depot? I think they are very similar to race deck, and I think they are like $2.50 a sq ft, which is very competitive with them I think. I'm in the process of doing VCT tile myself, and I'm happy with what I have down, but I'm not sure how it will work...
