When I have extra logs, CL helps me get rid of them quickly. When I have extra rocks, I add them to existing drainage or retaining walls. I always need more rocks and less logs, I guess it's a Pacific Northwest thing...

The last two posts are spot-on. I can do just about anything myself - remodels, engine removal... I'm going to be getting the tractor out today to try to restore some drainage on my access road. The DIY or not decision tends to be more about the tradeoff between many factors like how busy am...

Welcome! Snohomish is a nice place and I enjoy hanging out near 1st street and the river. I lived in the county for 8 years, near the Mukilteo ferry station.

Here's my go-to, general project table. The top is from Global Equipment, frame lumber, lag bolts and stain I got from Home Depot and the wheels are from Amazon.com. I often have a 1/4 vinyl covered MDF sheet on top if things get oily. Not shown: A power strip attached to the front face for...

The link took me to a wood-look vinyl but I only see "Picture:" in text... but nothing else. What a teaser... a wood look vinyl floor in a garage? I'd like to see it. I will say that vinyl floors have come a long way. I would not have considered one in my home before but I just did two below...

Thanks - and welcome to the forum!

Global Industrial makes a line - a few colors, several sizes, w/ optional lids. https://www.globalindustrial.com/g/storage/bins-totes-containers/dividable-grid/stackable-plastic-grid-boxes The 22.5" depth 17.5" width ones are sized perfectly for 24" depth shelves and the width allows me to fit...

Thanks all for the welcome messages. Yep, that picture was probably taken in August last year. Right now, I'm pretty much buried under snow and it's not letting up. Added an Island Geography 101 lesson (see picture) and threw in a couple bridges just for good measure. As for interests, mostly...

Anacortes is the 'big' city on Fidalgo Island, which probably many PWN people recognize. I live on the unincorporated south side of the island, across the bay from Deception Pass State Park. Here's a shot from the garage doors.

Global Industrial is my favorite source for this. They have a number of options in the 30" deep range. I built a workbench using their butcher-block top (30" x 48") and then attached 700lb capacity tool box casters to a DIY frame. It's nice to be able to roll it right up to where I'm working in...

I've been working on some organizing / labeling using an Epson LW-PX700PCD. I like the black label option and you can go 1" wide (as shown). I used a similar label maker for my last bin system which I recently retired. Even though it had 10-15 year old labels, they peeled right off the bins with...

Hey all, I moved many miles north of the Seattle area about 17 months ago. I've mostly been working on home upgrades, learning to deal with a large property and maintaining my cars. The garage is starting to see it's potential but I haven't been doing as much as I'd like. I'm hoping to get some...
