    Driveway sealcot.

    I'd like to add some on top of the original question: how soon can seal-coat be applied to a new asphalt driveway?

    fixing corner cracks

    Totally agree with all who say that waiting a year is a BS. But this is how their warranty is written and guess what - I accepted it when bought the house. I understand the rationale behind it - they don't want to waste their resources for every single, normal and expected crack. But as some...

    fixing corner cracks

    Truly appreciate your (and others) advice. I just realized that I forgot to mentioned that the drywall is a bit bowed - which to me indicates that the crack occurred due to some movements. Normal settlement or not - I do not know. But you are saying that my idea with screw will not work. I...

Yes, it is not in the garage.... but this is the house with the garage attached:) hope it can qualify for being here:) Here are some pictures. I think what I need to do is...

    pre-drilling

    Thanks all for great advice. I wish I posted my question before starting driving screws last night. The cheapo regular phillips screws I picked up in homeDepot camout even with me predrilling (perhaps I applied more torque than needed?). Anyway - I stopped and will go and buy some SPAX (or...

    pre-drilling

    I saw SPAX in homeDepot yesterday. They are a bit more but not by a lot. I guess I've got extra few bucks for them... unfortunately HomeDepot closed 14 minutes ago:):)

    pre-drilling

    What is the general rule for driving a #12 (2'' or 3'') screw into a stud - pre-drill or just screw it in? Hanging some shelves in the garage and appreciate an opinion of a more knowledgeable people in this area than myself:) Thanks guys.

    What do your Storage Cabinets look like?

    Ha-ha:) yes, you got me:) But the very first post by OP is actually titled , so I naturally though that "storage" is ok to talk about here as well.

    What do your Storage Cabinets look like?

    Guys, I see a lot of cool, creative, and some really expensive ideas for storage. I do not have a lot of tools: I do not repair cars or anything like that - just a regular home owner with a limited set of tools/things to organize in the garage. I wonder - four pages of ideas and noone (unless I...

    My DIY cabinets/shelves

    freddyaudiophile - that's a great idea. Thank you very much. I didn't think of the frame obviousely:) having a frame, especially with the mid-support perhaps makes this installation more rigid than frameless? Will wait to see how Jared did just so I can compare. Where can I buy all this...

    My DIY cabinets/shelves

    Jared (redman43) - amazing work! I cannot even imagine how much time went into planning all that:) I have a question - sorry if it is a stupid question; I am new here and perhaps not as handy as most of the guys here. I have a similar size garage (20x20) and just finished painting it, here are...

    How to Paint Stripes

    I also bought all the supplies in HomeDepot. Not sure if it is considered cheap or not: Behr Primer for Drywalls and Behr ultra white paint: 5 gallon each. Actually I even had to buy extra primer- 1 extra gallon. Behr Ceiling paint. Here are the pictures with problem areas- not a lot, but still...
