    Performax storage cabinets

    I have two workbenches and one 36" locker cabinet and one 48" locker cabinet. My opinion is the locker cabinets are quite flimsy freestanding. HOWEVER I drilled a couple of holes in the back of cabinet and used two screws to attache each one to my studs and that helped A LOT. The work benches...

    need a new cordless drill

    I seriously looked at the Milwaukee tools for a long time and couldn't find anyone that had anything but good luck with them. Finely decided on the DeWalt 20V due to price, and they have been great drills and would recommend to anyone. I can tell you the 20v are lighter (and i think more...

    Warming garage floor

    Tile with the grid heater under it to take the chill off? Maybe run the tile floor at 40* or so? http://www.homedepot.com/b/Flooring-Under-Floor-Heating/N-5yc1vZapte

    How do you guys hang stuff on metal walls?

    For cosmetic stuff use magnets. Truck stops/ truck repair centers have some POWERFUL magnets. They use them for holding signs/flags/banners on their rigs at 75 MPH+ so they will deff be able to hold a sign or clock or whatever.

    HF Free Tape Measures...

    This is a recipe for disaster if you ask me. There are far too many times I have one tape in the house and one in the garage by the saw so if I forget it I dont have to trudge in the house, up the stairs just to retrieve the instrument I forgot to clip to my pocket. Also I will often work with...

    Higher ceilings versus tray ceiling?

    I had to add a tray ceiling to my living room to accommodate a new furnace install (well didn't HAVE to but needed the drop to add duct work but did not want to give up my tall ceilings in the whole living room). It turned out very nice but was alot of extra work. If you are doing it exclusively...

    LiftMaster 8500 erased all devices trouble

    I have the 8500 and a keypad. The procedure was straight forward for me. Put the opener in "learn mode" (press the lean button twice) then type your 4 digit code and press enter.

    My son wants to start a business- dustless blasting

    Would borrowing the loan from a bank with you as a co-singer be an option? The only reason I say this is: 1. It will help establish a little bit of credit for him, its hard to get credit if you don't have any. 2. In my experience it is far easier to be late on a payment to a family member/friend...

    Inside wall finish Metal Vs ... ? Cost

    I have yet to find anything "cheaper" than sheet rock. That being said I did my walls in rock and my ceiling in steel cus its faster, easier and I didn't have to tape, sand, prime, and paint the ceiling with a scaffold.
