I do almost all of my own repairs. My tools are mostly Craftsman and some Snap-on but really I buy now what I need to get the job done. Now it will be usually a Husky or Kobalt brand but HF in there too. If its something I cant pinpoint the issue I'll pay the shop their fees to tell me whats...

One DeWalt only. When I finally had to start buying a system I made the choice I would only use one platform.

Makesure to add gutters to the building. That makes a big difference in preventing water intrusion and eliminated eroding the slab foundation. When you design the spacing for the frame makesure its 4' between incase you want to add insulation in the future. Adding caulk to bottom frame when they...

I just have the cheapest fridge possible in the garage. Old style with the small top freezer. They seem to be smaller depth wise that the newer fridge and not paying extra for counter depth. But really depends on what are planning to put in it and what you are willing to spend. There should be...

Ordered a set for my 76 C10 under $20 delivered to the local dealer.

Got some gutters installed. Price wasnt much more than me doing them myself with stuff from HD. Of course 2wks after a tree fell on them. Just some dents and held tight. Hung up the rest of my lights and began the process of power to the shop!

Temp lights hung up and more organizing. Got the fence built between the house and garage.

Have to post photo from my computer wont work from the phone. Insulation going up and the back wall OSB. Pallet racking and the car stuff from storage!

Out of stock now

Nassau National Cable is having a sale on alot of their products. Since most of us use MHF for the shops here's the link. I haven't found it cheaper anywhere else. Just ordered some for my shop. Now to gather the rest of the parts needed to wire the shop...
