    40' Shipping Container Shed

    I live in a "city" of a couple hundred people with only the township to worry about. There are a lot of people around me with semi trailers sitting around for storage and junk cars sitting everywhere so I'm not worried about one shipping container.

    40' Shipping Container Shed

    That's bad ***! I plan to paint the container to help keep my neighbors from hating me too much.

    40' Shipping Container Shed

    I currently have a 24'x24' garage that on top of needing more work than it's worth is just too small. I have been battling a major lack of space for years now. I would like to tear the garage down and put up something like a 30'x40' but the major hold up is where do I put the contents of the...

    70w High Pressure Sodium bulb replacement

    It's a medium base socket so I'm good to go there.

    70w High Pressure Sodium bulb replacement

    I found a few of those and at $60+ I don't think I'm going to go that route. I may try and remove the ballast and put a regular LED bulb in like someone suggested. I have a 100w equivalent LED bulb laying here already.

    70w High Pressure Sodium bulb replacement

    I have this light on the front of my garage... http://www.lowes.com/pd/Utilitech-70-Watt-Silver-High-Pressure-Sodium-Dusk-to-Dawn-Security-Light/999949018 The bulb burnt out last night and I'm trying to find a replacement bulb.

    Having a 12 X 16 Shed Built

    I know around here most places that make and sell sheds do it that way. Some of the reasons they do it that way are that there's no permit needed since there's no foundation, ease of building since they can build it at their shop and just load it on a truck, and time saving since they don't have...

    Garage + Tools = Freeloaders?

    A coworker and myself both went to school for auto tech plus there are a few other car guys at work. One of our other coworkers who had a couple POS vehicles was always wanting people to work on them for him. One guy who is super nice worked on and towed his broke down junk numerous times and...

    Pegboard hooks?

    I looked when I was in Harbor Freight a couple weeks ago and the only ones they had were just like the ones I have that fall out.

    Harbor Freight/Chinese Tool Deception

    The thing is though that that Toyota probably has more US made parts than most "American" cars. I'm not sure what my current F150 is but on my old 2011 Silverado only 40% of the parts were from the US. The last 2 Rams I had were assembled in Mexico. Honda has manufacturing and assembly plants...

    Pegboard hooks?

    I currently have two different brands of hooks. The first was one of those 50 piece sets from Menards or something and they constantly fall out when you pick up the tool. I also bought a few extra hooks that are beefier and never fall out. I can't remember the brand or where I purchased the...

    Building my first workbench...not sure I like it

    I just redid my work bench. The old bench was 40" tall and for a lot of things it was just too tall being 5'8" tall. The new bench is 34.5" tall and I haven't used it yet but I like the height a lot better. If I need to I'll space the wheels with 2x4s on their side to raise it another 1.5".

    I think the building maintenance guy lifted a set of wrenches

    In Ohio grand theft is anything over $599 but I don't think you are allowed to shoot anyone.

    I think the building maintenance guy lifted a set of wrenches

    People kept having their lunches stolen at my old job. The theft started when the company started a huge expansion and there were contractors everywhere. I got fed up one day and took the bun off a ham and cheese sub, brought it into the restroom, and rubbed it all around the urinal. Put the bun...
