    Looking for a retractable pressure washer hose reel suggestion

    I would like a pressure washer reel with 25-50 ft of hose so I can easily go around my vehicle when it is parked in front of the garage bay. These seem to be fairly expensive, I was wondering if anyone had insight on these, or perhaps a different suggestions? for what it's worth, the hose that...

    Inconspicuous Natural Gas Heating Options?

    Rinnai direct venter heater ,the exhaust port is tiny. I think it is a 3" or 4" hole. I put an EX38 in my 28x28 spray foamed garage in VT and it is way more than I need. I honestly think I could have gone with the 11k btu unit (Note, the exhaust is all the same size) but the price difference...

    Why does the Milwaukee M12 extended reach 1/4" ratchet cost $10 more than the 3/8"?

    Re: Why does the Milwaukee M12 extended reach 1/4" ratchet cost $10 more than the 3/8 Not sure that the M12 fuel Ratchet is going to do these (brakes, bell housing, control arms) - they now make a M12 fuel right angle impact though, rated at 200+ ft lb.

    Mini split w/ heat pump or gas heater + window AC for Minnesota garage?

    Cold climate heat pump will work fine if you want A/C also, there is no reason I can think of to get 2 separate units. The Fujitsu for your size building will be a 9 , 12 or 15RLS3H. Probably a 9 would be MORE than enough. The cost difference of the different units is actually not big. I...

    Exhaust fan to control humidity during winter months

    We just had our first couple of 0 F nights since I installed my Panasonic bath fan. My fan running at 80 CFM was just about right in my 28x28x10. 50 CFM had a tiny bit of condensation and 80 CFM basically had none. I can probably get away with just leaving it at 50 to save a little energy...

    Exhaust fan to control humidity during winter months

    In a tightly built garage I need continuous ventilation and I didn't want to do an air to air heat exchanger in a garage. The air is very stale if there is no air movement and window condensation will occur at lowish temps. I don't need the same rate all the time. It is dependent on the...

    Exhaust fan to control humidity during winter months

    I went ahead with the 50/80/100 Panasonic fan. I put it on a short 3" duct. I realize it is a bath fan and is fairly small, but the plan is to run it continuously. I'll report back when we have a single digit night to see if there's any condensation on the windows in the morning. Generally...

    Exhaust fan to control humidity during winter months

    I am looking into using a Panasonic bath fan for my 28x28x10 spray foamed 50F garage in VT. Burner is direct vent, negative pressure not a concern. This is only $85 but has an oval duct. It is a DC motor...

    Milwaukee 3/8 impacts, is the stubby better?

    I use a tiny 1/4 hex impact adapter and it does Lug nuts on normal vehicles just fine. It's 2553. I don't know if you are working ona big truck , then you probably need a m18 3/4 anyway. I could see the benefit of something as small as possible but has more torque than the 2553.

    M12 Ratchet kit special at Northern Tool

    I swear I saw M12 ratchet with battery and charger for $99 in the most recent Northern Tool catalog which got recycled - has anyone seen this deal - or was it just the ratchet + battery without charger (which is also available right now for $99 from HD)? I have this tool and love it (along...

    NEW Polyurea Garage Floor Coating Kits SALE SOON

    What is the best (easiest) floor for a DIY, new concrete but I don't really want to get into grinding the floor so can I use a gel acid etch? I've been reading around and polyurea seems to be a good bet. Are your poly urea kits from legacy industrial?

    28x28 Garage and apartment in Vermont

    Ohhh... thats a good question, I have no idea also considering the garage doors take up a huge portion of the north face of the gable wall so there's even less wall on that side.

    28x28 Garage and apartment in Vermont

    I didn't design it (the builder did) but I am not quite sure what you mean. Meaning that the trusses are putting all of the weight on the outside walls which are just regular old 2x6 walls?
