    Audio Receiver and Speakers in Metal Building

    I have an older Onkyo receiver in my unconditioned garage. It gets used almost daily. It has survived mid Atlantic humidity and temperature extremes for at least 5 years.

    Buying a rough Challenger E10 stored outside.

    Can you fix both and sell the one you don't use? Posted this 👆as I was typing. Still seems like a bunch of work for minimal return. Do you have the equipment to move them and set them up? How much is your time worth? How soon do you want to have a car up in the air?

    Door Seals

    Whatever you use to replace the bottom seal, be sure to paint the bottom of the door before you install a new seal.

    Exclusive Deal for Garage Journal Members: Innova 5610 Bidirectional Scanner

    I scored this deal a couple weeks ago. Good looking products. The scanner has lots of cool stuff that I'm gonna have to figure out how to use. The circuit tester is similar to a Power Probe except this unit has the lower voltages output that my Power Probe lacks. Seems like a useful upgrade. The...

    Badger-Powhatan 2.5 Gallon Water Fire Extinguisher - Any use?

    I have two of them. Like a lot of tools, you don't need it until you do. I knew people that used to work in that factory. Many years ago. The factory is gone and I'm pretty sure the land hasn't been re-developed yet. Time marches on...

    Any pole barn porch regrets?

    Yep. I regret not making it bigger. Decide what you want to use the porch for. Then make it bigger! A little more depth would allow me to completely cover my golf cart. YMMV

    Today is National Worship of Tools day

    We should also take a moment to remember the ½" 9/16", 10mm and 13mm sockets and wrenches and many others that have been lost.

    Turret style Tubing flare tool

    I have the Eastwood version. I've done 100's of flares and not had any problems. This is waaay easier than the handheld units. They all do look similar tho. Hard to say without a side by side comparison. Cheaper units are probably cheaper for a reason.

    How many times did you organize your toolbox before being content?

    Not really sure... It's like a never ending game of Tetris. Same with the rest of the garage.

    Budget Plasma Cutters: Primeweld Cut60?

    I have the primeweld 60. It hasn't given me any trouble or any reason to think it will. I am an occasional user. Maybe once or twice a week. As said above, practice helps. Whatever you buy, playing with torch angle, speed, current settings and air pressure and post flow time will definitely...

    What prep work for Paint?

    What does the manufacturer of the paint you're going to use recommend? Better prep usually results in a better/longer lasting paint job, but I'm not sure where overkill starts. Is there an area you can try a sample on?
