    Garage driveway - Gravel vs Mud...... Opinions

    $4k budget? How long is your driveway, like 8 feet? I mean, I know it's asphalt but a $4k budget sounds like the type of buget for 57 rock and a regrade around here. Wish you the best!

    What can I get for $40k nowadays?

    I'm in NEO also and spoke with Behr Buildings before. Good people (On the phone). Answered all my questions and I was about to pull the trigger but then Covid hit and I was laid off, so the idea of spending a big chunk of change didn't sit right. I'm considering a 22'x31'10' from them in the...

    Deck Screws for Framing???

    Time is time. The time you spend at home building the walls will be the exact same time to build them on site. I guess you can say you can build the walls while on your "Free time", meaning time you'd normally be watching TV or such, so sure, in that case you're essentially "Beating the...

    Pole shed heaved. . . How can I "save" this?

    With Joe's information, I would consider his example of cutting and then reattaching the cut posts. I would also, maybe just in the four corners, dig down next to the poles, add a sister post deep down (60"?) and make sure those posts are then secure from soil gripping them. Now you have your...

    gearwrench vs icon

    Nothing beats walking into HF with a broken tool and walking out a few minutes later with a new replacement. Dealing with the tool truck guys over the years, only one of them ever had anything I needed warrantied in stock (Matco), all the others, it was weeks before my tool made it back to me...

    Things to Make Workshop More Enjoyable

    Organization - A shop that's a total mess, like my Dad used to keep his, gives me anxiety. I instantly get angry and just not in a productive mindset. Love my pops but man, it was a disaster. Lighting - Good lights and visibility is a must. Temperature Control - Winters in Ohio are brutal and...
