That a good idea! I'll give that a shot, if it doesn't cost too much. Thanks!

Need to get back on the garage project. Been putting it off to work on the Jeep. I got two projects that are picking at my wallet!! Should start seeing some updates next month. You should be glad to know that my workbench is seeing some use! Got some oil/grease stains on the top, and my Wilton...

More pictures on the bench...should be completed tomorrow. Need some carriage bolts to mount the vise. What the best way to mount the top? What hardware should I use? Its particle board. Also what is the best way to protect it (ie paint, or stain, etc..)???

Menards is a regional store only in midwest. For example I bought my lumber for my workbench at my local lumber yard (De Leewu Lumber in Holland, MI) paid a bit extra for my 2x4s and 4x4s but got exceptional customer service and the wood is much better. The guy actually showed my how to put it...

Oh....I used a 7x7" drywall patch for that. I need to patch another (smaller) hole, so I'm probably going to another drywall patch. And I don't like shopping at big box home improvement stores like HD and Lowes. Mostly I shop at Menards, Ace Hardware and other local stores.

I'm sorry....I don't follow. What are you talking about?? 2'x2' pieces of what?

Didn't do much last week. This week, I bought some lumber to start building my 6ft workbench. Ordered some tool organizers from Ernst and just bought 2pk 16x48 galvanized pegboard from CarGuyGarage. Its all coming together. Some pics later today. Still need to: Finish building workbench...

I'll try out Menards for the drywall tomorrow. Thank you. I'm having some difficulty picking out the color for the garage. I want a single-tone color, but I still want it to look like a MAN-CAVE. Any pics or advice would be appreciated!!

Progress since last post: -Patched up hole with drywall patch, don't like the outcome, might need to redo it with some scrap drywall or with the aluminum mesh type patch. Can you get scrap drywall, or do you have to buy a whole sheet?? -Removed one wall cabinet, came crashing down on my head...

Didn't do anything Easter Sunday, and the past two days were rainy and cold. Today was in the 60's and sunny. Today's progress: -Cleaned up entry way into the house. -Took some steel to the scrap yard -Took some stuff to Goodwill -Removed the last two furring strips, managed to put a large...

Oh man!! I bought that same toolbox for $199+tax in February (17th). Do you think if I go back to the store with a printout they would refund me the difference??

That seems to be a better idea. I've seen quite a few of negative reviews on the grit guard. I think the two-bucket method is better.
