    Trimming top of wall that isn’t level

    I’m looking to add some trim along at the top of the plywood paneling in my garage. Unfortunately the back right corner of the garage has settled a bit. When I setup my laser level, the right side is nearly 2 inches lower than the left side. I will eventually add some upper cabinets to this...

    Do I need a vapor barrier under the plywood in my detached garage?

    How would you add diagonal bracing to this wall?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I’m definitely planning on putting up plywood, but it might be a bit of time before I get there. I’m looking to add a bit of bracing that will be good enough for now.

    Best (affordable) tool for crimping AMP open barrel terminals?

    The new headlights that I'm installing on my Volvo come with all terminals and relays needed to upgrade the wiring. The terminals are apparently known as AMP terminals. I've never used these type of terminals before, but have always only used the typical crimpers for insulated terminals...

    WTB: GM Goodwrench U.S.A. missing wrenches (or similar)

    I'm looking to fill in some of the missing wrenches from my grandfathers tools. These are GM Goodwrench, made in the U.S.A., not the ones sold at O'Reilly's. I believe these were bought at Sam's Club awhile ago. If I can't find the exact replacement, I'd also consider a replacement of a...
