Just got my first vise off eBay for 250 bones... I wanted something that was sort of unique in my old Jeep garage. The vise market is wild to me and Im not sure eBay is the best judge for the market on them. Anyways, I thought it was cool the date is March 1941 on it, a few months before the...

I don’t have time for auctions or estate sales. I’ve got a newborn son and many other family responsibilities that eat up my time. The free time I do get, which is seldom, is spent finding parts, and working odd hours on a Kaiser M715. I love garage journal but I never figured it a stomping...

I tried buying the one listed at $800. I asked the owner if I could send a deposit and he asked for $500. Told me he would not give me his address until the day of pick up. No way am I giving someone $500 who can’t tell me where the item is. I’ve had emails from 5 different scammers using photos...

Gents, looking for any information on a good garage builder in Charleston SC. I found a plan I like on the 84 lumber site but really have no idea about the quality of their kits. Have no problems hiring someone who builds their own plans. Any ideas?

The water on the floor is only from the holes in the roof, I dont have grade issues, the photo is deceiving. I bought this property a year ago and the garage was already on it. I hate looking at it, it makes no sense to me and its ugly as heck. Why would someone build a garage without a side...

Thanks Astroracer, I kind of knew that the cinder block wasnt going to work. Im gonna tear it down no matter what, there is just too many issues with whats there.

Gents, I have a pole barn on my property that has a concrete floor. Its size is 25.5x31. Unfortunately at some point in its life it caught fire and a roof leak has caused damage to some of the headers. Id really like to tear it down and start over but wondering what I could do if I went that...
