    How to Fix Sagging Header

    I fixed mine about 20 years ago. It's a 2 car garage and I used floor jacks with some 4x4's on the top. I jacked the garage up to level or a little more, then put in a steel beam, a channel in a C shape, and lag bolted it to the wood header. The steel yard burned holes in the steel beam for...

    Hot tub install

    Here's my hot tub pad I made last summer. It hasn't moved at all. Several inches of crushed limestone, compacted, a couple inches of slag sand, and some concrete pavers from Home Depot. Framed with 4x4's drilled and secured with rebar. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]...

    Removed tile from bathroom flooring. Does grout have to come out also?

    I think you mean the thinset. I guess if you cleaned it up good, you could put floor leveler over it and then re-tile. If it were me, I would probably just use a demo hammer drill and take it all up and start over.

    Broken garage door spring.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Removed the clutch from my '69 GTO. I've never done anything with a clutch before. And then removed the flywheel to have it resurfaced and saw many cracks. I placed an order with Summit Racing for a new clutch kit and flywheel.

    Deck Wrecker http://www.deckwrecker.com/ I used this to remove all the deck boards on my deck before I put Trex back on. It works pretty good.

    I live in Westland. This is my attached garage so my truck and a minivan get parked in here everyday. I have another 18x22 garage out back which has all my junk and my GTO. I'm considering VCT for the floor but it's been painted before so I may go with a Racedeck style tile but that's a...

    I have since added a Mr. Heater natural gas furnace and a few more signs, like I really needed more. I'm thinking about a floor now. I put the siding over the drywall a few months ago and it's insulated real well.
