    Differences between HF 56" Series 2 boxes w/different part numbers

    I'm not sure what the item numbers were, but my local store has 2 different ones on display. I didn't comb through them too much as I was there to look at the 56" model. However, one big difference that I did notice was that on one model the drawers had true full extension drawer slides that...

    New 56" harbor freight tool box

    I was looking at the new harbor freight 56" top and bottom box this weekend and noticed the new bottom box has a different design for the plastic locking tabs on the right side of the drawers. They are a different shape and are also held in with 2 Phillip's screws instead of rivets like the old...

    Ridge vent and baffles

    Yes upstairs and downstairs will be heated. There's a full size stair case that goes up to the attic so I don't have anything to stop the heat from going up there anyway. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Ridge vent and baffles

    I will be insulating all the way to the peak. I use the garage attic as storage and have a full size staircase going up there. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Ridge vent and baffles

    I'm getting ready to begin installing baffles from the soffit to the ridge vent in my garage attic so I can then begin insulating. I noticed my ridge vent oesnt go all the way across the peak. It stops about 3' from each end. Should I still install baffling in that section from soffit to peak...

    Garage wall texture

    I'm getting ready to clean up and paint my attached garage. I only use this garage to park in and will probably use it as a hang out spot when company is over. I live in a rural area and there are old cobwebs and spider webs all over the walls and ceiling. I got alot off with a broom, but there...

    Heaved garage pad

    Not sure how old it is. I bought this house a year ago. It was built in 98. I'm in southeast Michigan. My land is pretty flat. No noticeable water running off that I can see, but definitely no standing water either. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Heaved garage pad

    I don't think the other side by the wall/door has dropped. At least I don't see any signs that it has. Everything along that wall appears as it should as far as the pad goes Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Heaved garage pad

    I have been thinking about finishing my 30x40 garage floor lately and have read through countless threads about all the different methods. One of the problems I am dealing with though is a heaved pad at one of the expansion joints. The pad that is heaved almost feels like there isn't anything...

    Outside lighting and insects

    What kind of outside lighting does everyone use? When I moved into my house all of the outside lighting was LED. Looked great, but I live in the middle of nowhere and there is a lot of insects and spiders. The LED light attracted the bugs which then attracted huge spiders. I read that yellow...

    Ballast bypass

    Wasn't aware of shunted sockets. I'll read up on them. However, on the ballast ready tubes I got, one side of them IS marked "L" and "N". The other side is not. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Ballast bypass

    I didn't get a chance to mess with it today, but as soon as I do I'm going to bypass the ballast and see. Since the LED tube is not full of gases like the traditional fluorescent bulb, I think it will be ok. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Ballast bypass

    They are brand new fixtures with electronic ballasts. They work fine with the t8 LED tubes, I was just wondering if it would damage the tubes if I bypassed the ballasts. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Ballast bypass

    I have 12 of the Utilitech 4ft shop lights from lowes. They have the regular t8 fluorescent tubes. I just bought a bunch of t8 LED tubes that are direct replacements. Bypassing the ballast isn't necessary. However, I've read that the ballasts consume 3 to 7 watts and also could fail. Can I...
