The opener is a Sears brand 1/2 hp screw drive, opening a single garage door. After reading the posts I am leaning toward getting a belt drive. I see some are wifi and can be used with your phone, does anyone that has one find this helpful?

My garage door will sometimes only open about 2 feet then stop, it will close then open about the same next time the remote or wall button is used. At times it opens like it should and no issues. When I manually open it there is no dragging and is not hard to open. It seems to always close as...

My intent was to dig what I needed for the footings and foundation but to have the cement work done, I am not into working that hard!! Building the shed is what I was planning on doing myself. Knowing it may take a little time to complete but that is ok, if it turns out ok I want to build...

Going to build a 12 x 16 shed and would like to do footings then pour cement inside of that for the floor. Want to get it above the ground so water does not get in is the reason for the footings. I am thinking 6 inches below grade and 3 inches above would be enough. Yard is fairly flat Does...

I have had a 2 ton fold up one from Harbor Freight for years and pulled/installed several engines and never had a problem.

Had an extension added to my garage that used a 20 foot long beam across the span. There was 3 2x18(I think that is the size) pieces that were nailed together to do this. I want to add a hoist to my ceiling but would like to use this beam to install if possibe. Is this strong enough to put...

aero-motive and econ-no-mite are stamped in the tag

thanks for the info, I will have to take it apart and see what I can do

What is involved in repairing a hose reel that does not auto rewind very well? It is an older econ-no-mite, the hose is fine but just does not reel back up all the way Thanks, Kerwin

this is correct 16 is the depth and 24 is width

I am going to install a patio cover by adding hangers to the overhang in the house and running 2x6 boards to the edge. The question is how many upright supports should I use (they will be 4x4 posts) with a 4x6 header on top. The cover will be about 16 x 24. Not sure if I will be using...

I just did some bats in mine, they are a little more expensive but I think a little easier to work with. I did mine myself so it made more sense for me, I was told the blowers for the blow in would only shoot about 4 ft and the hose was only 50 ft long so it would not have went very far once I...

I just wanted something somewhat flexible and rubber hose came to mind. hydraulic hose sounds like what I need

Part of my problem is that one side is higher than the other and I didn't want to put in to many turns

I am running some black pipe in my attic for air and have about a foot of space between what was already there and a new section that I added. Is there a safe way to join these together with some sort of rubber hose between the two? The pipe is 3/4 and is threaded so would be able to put some...
