    Why NOT to buy these

    Anyone else using these lights? This is how I plan to go in my new construction 3 car garage. I'm guessing since I can wire it beforehand, have the outlets ready for these lights? I'm going to tie them into a smart switch or motion sensor so they will turn on when I walk into the garage. Any...

    Help removing stripped Torx bolt

    Damn, quick responses! Merka 1. yes 2. the tip is flush with the head of the torx bolt. So bascically, its a flush metal bolt with nothing to grip to. 3. no, but I saw those! But I mean no bits are making a dent into that broken bit. Its some hard steel. Mike - good plan, but just wont work...

    Help removing stripped Torx bolt

    Ok, good lord this has been a disaster! I am trying to put a new steering wheel on my car. Right Torx bolt came off with ease (ofcourse), left side doesnt budge. I bought a screw drive Torx from Lowes, cant turn it. So I go to Sears and bought a 7 piece $40 f-in dollar Torx socket set. And bam...

    Didja make a hose reel swivel mount ??

    Im bumping this. I dont have any way of welding, so I am looking for some easy parts I could go buy. I have the Kobalt 50' retractable reel in case anyone is wondering. I need that thing to swivel because it sticks out too far in a dumb place by me!

    A dumb concrete question

    I wouldnt walk on it for about 24hrs and move heavy stuff onto about 3 days later. I would give it a solid 3 days for heavy stuff. The crazy thing about concrete is that it truley doesnt cure for about 30 days! ha!

    what friggin paint to spray with?!

    Wow, thanks for all the info. And no offense taken, like I said, first time spraying so I am somewhat clueless! The gun is a Campbell Hausfeld 5400, suction gun. Its a bit older but seems like it would be decent. So if I should not really use latex, what the hell should I use?! I dont think...

    Ceiling trim/crown molding?

    ddawg, I would love to. But literally almost every linear foot of the ceiling/wall joint has peeling tape, poor joints, etc. And also like I mentioned, there is a wall where the drywall meets the old stucco'd exterior wall and that joint is horrible. So no cabinets would get mounted on that wall...

    Ceiling trim/crown molding?

    Yeah I thought of 1/4 round, but in some spots it MIGHT not be wide enough. But yeah, def would be easy. Wondering how that would look though? And the 1x4 might be what I do, I just might do all of this later. Get the walls painted for now and then worry about this later. I was going to paint...
