    ALI certified vs non certified lifts...

    I just bought a lift from Greg Smith in Indy last week, new showroom location is great and so are the people, but they did recommend a 10k for the bigger trucks. Just an honest FYI. It wasn’t an upsale either just a recommendation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Vehicle Maintenance Log

    I keep a maintenance board in the shop for all our vehicles and equipment. Lists all routine services and hours and whatnot. Simple enough. Big whiteboard with vehicles listed, basic filter info, amount of fluids and type etc labeled and then marker times as needed. Any major work or...

    The best money can buy

    My Samsung washer dryer set is 10 years old, in that time I’ve replaced 2 dryer elements, 2 water pumps, and one main spider drive arm because the original one corroded and dissolved inside the wash tub enclosure... I’m handy and figure if some kid oversees put the thing together, I should be...

    Prefab Amish garages?

    We have a large Amish population around here and several of those places where they sell their prebuilt structures. Everything from chicken coupes to large sheds/garages. IMO they're built very well. Generally, from what I've seen, they've used good materials and good craftsmanship. My...

    Painting unfinished drywall?

    I agree with others. Finish the joints, which is really easy, and do a prime and paint job. Anything worth doing is worth doing right. And use a semigloss for best wipe off and clean up later on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    More Craftsman Tools info

    FYI, they gave you a Stanley because craftsman no longer makes a tape measure... I had a similar experience a couple years ago and couldn't believe it when they told me that. I knew then that they were done as a brand. I realize that cheap HF freebies and the like have made it a losing...

    Wash bay in garage?

    Codes...? What are these codes you speak of? JK. Yes it's an environmental concern as stated by others. Oil run off contamination. It can't be released into public sewers and if you have a septic it's not a good idea at all over time based on how much you run into it. I live in an area...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Organizing the Family Shop

    My daughter and I went to the Hill climb as well. We just live a couple miles up the road. She loves watching the old cars get it up the hill (she's 6). "Daddy, I don't think that ones going to have enough momentum". Lol. It's a great time there, definitely see some rare old history. Looks...

    Do I live where it is too expensive?

    Remind me to never buy, build, or generally breath in California... [emoji15] I mean crazy... The cost of living you're talking about is insane! Wow! I knew it was bad but I guess I just never really looked at it. My recent shed build was like 65k on 5k sq ft. Best of luck, and I'd...

    water hydrant in new build

    I put one in mine and much like someone said about a 3x3 square opening, I cut the bottom out of a 5gal bucket and poured to that(simple, cheap, and looks clean from the top). Water to hydrant comes up from the center with another shutoff access at pump feed line below just in case. Then I...
