    Green Hinge System

    If you are saying I’m affiliated with this company, you are mistaken. But, how am I supposed to prove I’m not. It’s an anonymous forum ... you want my drivers license? I’m merely saying, if, by some reason, you install these and they damage your door, track etc, then I get saying it is a waste...

    Green Hinge System

    So, I see people saying they work and another say to adjust your doors and a waste of money. For those that say it is a waste of money, what’s the harm? I’m mean, if you adjust the seals but want defense against the wind, what the harm in spending $85 for peace of mind. I don’t have a dog in...

    what did you guys use for base molding?

    I used 1x6 pressure treated. It was originally sitting directly on concrete but recently pulled it and set again when I redid my floors with pvc tiles. I just painted it the same as wall color. It’s not great ... not like in my finished areas with true base molding but tolerable for what it is...

    Basement Floor

    I did about 950 sqft of PVC tile. I cleaned it well, mopped the floor, used ghostshield 9500 on it. Then installed the tile. Also a basement that will see the occasional wood project. I still plan to seal the tiles for easy clean up. Will say that I left 6 tiles down while I was building a few...

    NewAge Cabinets reviews and tips

    Thanks for all the replies. I was thinking about standing them up and not laying them down to make more room in the bed, but dittle others bring up a good point on the weight of the pallet. Guessing maybe 3-400 lbs per pallet (maybe more). I thought it might be like a fridge in terms of size...

    NewAge Cabinets reviews and tips

    OK, quick question for you guys. I think I have finally decided on a NewAge Pro series 8 or 9 piece set. My question is how they are shipped. I'm sure it is freight which will be my dilemma. Where I live there is no way to get a semi down the road. Almost every time I have had something...

    CRAFTSMAN 2000 Series 28-in W x28-in H x12-in D Steel Wall-Mounted Garage Cabinet??

    I don’t have much to compare them to. I have been on a kick lately wanting to possibly get a newage set, but I’ve never seen or touched them in real life because no one stocks them. I’ve looked at the gladiator line and the craftsman sets seem to be on par with them. My personal opinion is that...

    CRAFTSMAN 2000 Series 28-in W x28-in H x12-in D Steel Wall-Mounted Garage Cabinet??

    I just saw them at a lowes in Union City, TN. My main problem would be the back and wall attachment. I assume they are not assembled correctly with the screws protruding the way they do, but here is at least proof that they are in store.

    Garage Door Opener - Stupid Tax

    If it make you feel any better, I paid a stupid tax while draining the water heater this weekend. I forgot to turn off the breaker. Filled the tank back up not thinking anything and about 2-3 hours later, my wife asks why there is no hot water. Shoot ... remembered I didn't flip breaker and...

    Construction of safe room under porch - keeping it dry

    OK. I have almost exactly what you are describing. Under our front porch is a "safe room/panic room/storm room/cold room, etc." whatever you want to call it and goes into an unfinished part of the basement within 10-12 feet of the basement garage door. Mine is leaking like crazy. When we...

    NewAge Cabinets reviews and tips

    Like those blue chests! I’ve been looking at the Newage cabinets for a couple of months. Wish they still made the Performance Plus series in blue as that set would be on my short list. I like the regular performance series but my concern I like what you experienced with the bold series. Oh...

    Add on ceiling outlet ...

    Thanks. I went and double checked that the panel does have a 15 amp breaker for the lights (20 amp for the plugs). I think it would be close to spec if the filters are 4 amps a piece, and lets just say 1/2 amp a piece for the light fixtures (two 4’ LED bulbs in each fixture). I may be wrong...

    Add on ceiling outlet ...

    Thanks. I bought the 2 air cleaners back in the summer in prep for this remodel I’m starting now, so I already have them. The reason I went with two is that my workshop is in the basement, so I have a bulkhead running almost down the center of the room. While luckily I have 10’ ceilings, the...

    Add on ceiling outlet ...

    Quick question on the feasibility of adding on a a couple of outlets in the ceiling for two air filters that I’m going to run in my basement workshop (most for airborn sawdust control). Right now it I have two rows of flourescent shop lights running on each side of the shop. I have LED tubes...

    Overhead Garage Storage

    I was looking at the racks from Costco when they were on sale over the summer. Unfortunately, as I read more on them, they won’t work for me as I’ve got I beams joists and you can’t install them on that type of joist. I like the size of the 4x8 size that were available from Costco, just not...
