    Garage shelf design question

    I plan on putting them every 16" on center on the studs in the wall. I think I would be in luck and the ceiling joist come out from the font wall about the length I would need so I could go into them. I agree that would give it more strength. Yes using black pipe from a plumbing supply store...

    Garage shelf design question

    OK, I'm looking at putting up some shelves in our garage for all my wife storage bins full of holiday decorations, ie Christmas, Halloween, Easter. I was wanting to do something clean looking and different. The space I was going to use is the part above the garage door. I have a 10' ceiling...

    Freezerator (Garage refridgerator/freezer)

    I know this is an old thread but my search didn't bring much up. At least from what I tried to search. Has anyone put their fridge on bigger casters than what nomally comes on them. It would make moving and cleaning under so much easier. We are moving to a new place and I was wanting to...

    Just built a 12' x 20' building

    I searched and didn't see anything. But was wondering if it is worth putting something down on the wooden floor of my shed? It is just regular 3/4" plywood. Would it be beneficial to put epoxy it or just leave it? I'll be storing my riding zero-turn in there and it will get wet at times I'm...

    Generac Portable Gen, 5000 w. question

    It doesn't make sense to me. It worked fine a few months ago. It just sits in the shed otherwise. Until all the madness calms down around here from Irene I guess it will just have to wait to get looked at. At least our power is back on.

    Generac Portable Gen, 5000 w. question

    I have a Generac 5000 watt portable generator. Went to use it since Irene took out our power and I found out the hard way that the 120v plug is putting out 220 volts. I tried calling around but everyone is swamped with work and couldn't talk to me. I went on the Generac web site and my model...

    Oil In Gasoline

    Small amounts will not hurt anything. Over time and that is a long time it can poison the catalytic converter and maybe mess with the O2 sensors.

    DIY oil change VS. dealership

    I change the oil in all four of our vehicles, as well as my sisters, my parents and my father-in-laws. I even change the oil in our Mayors two vehicles. I keep a 6 gallon bucket on hand to dump in and drain the oil filters for 24hrs, then take them to the local Wal-Mart. They take both the oil...

    My first concrete work

    It is a great set up. The truck comes loaded with 10yrs of ready to mix materials. It mixes just what you need, the gravel and sand on one side and the cement in another tank and then there is a 500 gallon water tank on it as well. I think it is 500 not sure. It mixed up what I needed in a...

    My first concrete work

    Here is the slab out back of my garage for my 80 gallon Kobalt compressor. Also I added to my driveway. The concrete company had a 1 yard minimum and it was $110. I figured out that for just the compressor slab it was going to run me $100 with renting a mixer and getting the 27 bags of 80#...

    Hello, another NC member

    Just found this site a day ago and spent most of yesterday and today on it reading all about everyone's compressor installs and such. A ton of great information. My gray matter is in overload. :) I'll add to the compressor list as I start my journey installing it. :beer:

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    Hey everyone. I'm new to GJ and this site is awesome. Just got done reading over all 44 pages of this thread. Ton of information and I'm in gray matter overload. I just picked up this Kobalt off Craig's list. The owner said he has about 4hrs on it. The air filter is still really clean, which I...
