I ordered a green Icon 73" box and locker. Took advantage of the itc and Cc discounts. Supposed to be in by May. Should give me time to make room for it!

Saw a tool chest branded "International" at Home Depot, has a drawer that needs the slides replaced. No discount offered, told it was "under warranty". Doing a little google-fu, it seems that this company (SPX International) went out of business in 2020, making the warranty worth less than the...

I have Sonos speakers, you can stream through the usual services, Alexa, google,Google,. They are not cheap, but sound great. I have a pair of Fives in the big section (30x60), a One in the single car section.

Yes,,it will freeze when it gets cold, it would only be plugged in when necessary and above freezing. Water collects from runoff from the hill behind the garage, not roof runoff. A simple Trench would work if the end wasn't blocked by the dirt pile. We were fighting weather when we finished...

First, I know I need a French drain, just need a temporary solution until the weather breaks. Water pools 2 -3 " behind the carport when it rains heavily. Thinking a pump similar to this https://www.lowes.com/pd/Utilitech-0-33-HPThermoplastic-Submersible-Utility-Pump/1000668993 Placed in a...

Have a snap on with the folding handle. Favorite by far. Wife has a regular snap on ratcheting, she is a fan also.

Well, it was actually Saturday evening but... Pulled the vehicles into the carport for the first time after getting the concrete poured!!!!!! :D

We just poured our slab, 30x60, 5.5 thick (for a lift), concrete was 145/yard f or small stone pump mix, with af, due to Temps I sw PA. Paid $2500 for finishing, did everything else and provided all other materials. He didn't care how thick I wanted the slab, just that everything was ready...

Just got the floor poured in our 30x60 "carport" on Tuesday and Wednesday, 5.5 in thickness, front section was pumped. Covered up for now due to cold (25 -29 deg) nights. I always thought the Golden rule for concrete was 30 days to park? Vehicles for now are an 82 Wagoneer that is a work...

Welcome from Greene County!

Location noted! Plan now is to use the foil-backed bubble-wrap insulating vapor barrier on the roof, the walls will be open till spring, I plan on using Tyvek wrap before putting up the Smart Side, interior walls will be insulated/dry walled. Not planning on a ceiling at this time. Thanks again!

Finally getting started on the extension to my existing garage, pole barn construction, aprx 30x56. It is being done in 3 "stages" to make the township happy - stage 1, posts/roof, stage 2 floor stage 3 enclosiing walls. Options are for metal roof or traditional shingle roof. My concern is...

I am in the process of building a 12x28 gambrel roof shed. Gravel base, 4x4 "skids", then built the frame with PT 2x6 in 3 sections, joists 12" OC. Tied sections together with 2X6 PT band boards, 3/4 PT plywood floor. Walls are 8' tall, gambrel is about 6' high. Possibly a bit "over-built"...

Sears seems to be in a coma when it comes to marketing in general these days. The Craftsman Club flyers have all but stopped, and sparse when they do show up. Sale flyers in the Sunday paper have all but disappeared as well, yet K-mart always has big glossy flyers filled with their cut-rate...

I have been a member for several years, used to get discounts and flyers almost monthly - saved me a lot of $$$ on my IR compressor and tool box. About 6 months ago, the flyers all but stopped (got one in November, I think), and Sears stopped putting ads in the local Sunday paper. Website is...
