Conventional pre-treat would be to spray the pea-gravel before the slab is poured for a horizontal barrier, and then spray the exterior foundation as the backfill goes in for...

    Lifts????: Scissor, 2 post, 4 post, storage, ect.

    Here is how I see it; 2 post - best for all types of service on vehicle, install isn't difficult if your floor is thick enough already. Probably what most think of when they imagine having a lift. 4 post - easiest install, good for all types of service on vehicle, but with extra steps for...

    Great work! Very clean install, I'm impressed. This looks like a great solution for my space as well, I'll have to think about doing something like this. Would you mind posting some pictures of the control setup and where it's mounted in relation to the lift? It looks like the manual calls...

    Termites

    On a simple slab garage it is very cost effective to self treat with a fiprnoil product like Termidor SC or Taurus. It can be done in a few hours and requires no real special equipment as long as you can put your own man power into making the small trench. If you want to have it done with a...

    New roof, ants

    Mick is right, it is usually indicative of a moisture problem. Use a shop vac or leaf blower to dispel them and make your repair, once it’s dry it won’t be so inviting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shop camera’s & spiders

    Like the previous poster suggested, they like the IR light, use remote IR lights to draw them elsewhere. Also, Delta dust by Bayer is an excellent product to brush on near your cameras, no moisture problems, long residual killing power for spiders and bugs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    Enjoying my new 24k install. It is a great feeling to work in a climate controlled shop. I knew it would be quiet running, but it's amazingly quiet. If you are thinking about it, make it happen. I'm glad I did it now instead of waiting longer because it seemed like a luxury or a waste of...

    The building has a monolithic slab & footer in one continuous pour, and is traditional stick framing. The car port addition was an afterthought during construction and put up using the utility poles set a few feet into the dirt to support the far end, but the beams that run to the poles are...
