@Smilodon : If this is what you are talking about, its a niche for a pellet stove and flue that goes up through the upper story as a chimney and closet. I am going to put some more storage that matches the existing cabinets I got for free and build a false front for in front of the vacume and...

@larry4406 : Yes, that is for next weekend. Good call out.

@rzims : Thank you, sorry I missed your comment. @RalphJeepGuy : Right now, its car storage and working area, I am working on a bathroom area in the back and do all kinds of general projects and stuff in there. Im not a real mechanic by any means so haven’t gotten to the point where I have an...

Tackled the stairs this weekend. I used a product from Intralink called Nora. What I would call your hospital floor type product. Vinyl sheet good type stuff. You must prep the base make sure its real smooth and there are no large gaps. Then you lay down essentially a tape then place the product...

@Tynee : I would love to take credit but cannot, if you search youtube for adjustable miter station or ultimate miter station, you will find a number of people doing the same thing. @larry4406 : Its a 24' tall shaft that goes from the ground up to the upper floor appartment. Has a 30" x 30'...

I worked on the Shop the last couple of weekends and the Island this weekend. The counters are all done and are 3/4 rough ply and then 3/4 unfishished birch. The birch is screwed up though the unfished in a couple of places so its easy to swap out after it takes a beating after a couple of...

I would second spending some time to think about layout, but also design in a way that would survive a layout change. Think you are going to put a large machine against a wall and only need 1 outlet in that area? My advice would be dont design your shop for that single use. Run outlets every...

I used this...

After another couple of month break I have made some more progress in the shop. WIth my projects I have come to realize that progress comes in big spurts, apparently I can't keep my focus, or I have work, a family and a household to run, or something.... Since Mid October: Reels Mounted (Power...

I have a 40' x 40' shop with a traditional Denon Receiver setup with 4 Floor standing speakers in each corner. I have not hung the TV yet in these pictures, but this setup will get loud enough and is clear enough to listen to anything you want even 20' out on the Driveway. Denon - AVR X4300H...

I installed the Viper Turbo Floor Fan 24" last night up on the wall and learned the hard way that they have a "safety" feature that does not allow them to be switched on and off from a power on setting, you have to dial them back to 0 then ramp them up to whatever speed you want every single...

@Pwaley I am considering this exact same purchase. how has your's held up in the 'reel' world?

A couple of thoughts: 1. Utilize driveway grade instead of door pockets to keep water out of your building, pockets get overwhelmed quickly and I have been amazed at how much stuff i roll in and out of my garage. 2. I do not have a drain in my garage, and it is one of the few things I regret...

@MushCreek I installed LVP in our basement and used a sharp utilitie knife to score and snap the LVP. This was by far the cleanist and fastest way to do it for me. I went through a ton of blades as I got a new blade every few cuts as I found that made a ton of difference. A carpenters square...

I ran Direct UV exposure rated coaxial cable and have Internet over Coaxial convrter set up from the house router to run over the Coaxial in the house to an outside wall then via the outdoor coaxial cable to the shop then into the building. It works well enough to stream music and you tube...
