Froze!!

I've been trying to find pics for storage for the sides of stairs as I head down to the basement. Seems all those 2x4 studs could be doing more. Probably look better too,,

I haven't forgotten about this post, here's an update. Dropped it off on 19 June (date of last post). It was suppose to take about 2 weeks. I stop by HD every week to check the progress and all they can tell me is it's still under diagnosis. It was a simple fix or replace. I'm going to give...

BSaint, I may have to take you up on that, Yes I went to HD any got lucky, Lady behind customer service desk knew exactly what to do and the problems they've had in the past with warranties. I asked if the repair shop I was already working with could do the work since they were helpful, but...

Good advice from all, I learned along time ago not to make the people/person you need something from MAD!!! I'll update this as I go thru the process. Called the # on the HD Husky page (says their in "Georgia, Unlike the original people I talked to from Mexico) and got the automated extension...

Bought the cheaper Husky air compressor used it 5-6 times it broke! BUT I not only have the warranty but I bought the extended warranty. Called the # in the service manual to locate the nearest service shop but they wouldn't give me a location until I change the oil???? Told them it wouldn't...

Gunslinger, what'd ya use for the orange trim half way up the walls?? Doesn't look like pine boards. Thinking of using MDF so there isn't all the damn knots that you get with pine. Thanks Sarge97

Sweeet!!! I feel your pain, I built my own log home about 8 years ago and still trying to finish it up. I'm replacing the old pressure treated decking with the composite and have been adding up the cost for a 18x16' deck and man I can only imagine what that is costing you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very...

Adding a small deck outside the garage and have left over composite decking but don't like the color. I see that Behr "Solid Color Wood Stain" can be used on these boards. Question is, can it be used to change the color of the original board or is it designed to make the original color look...

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!! I'm getting ready to crazy labeling the wiring under my motor home if I can find labels that can take the beating.

I'm being told by some propane experts (?) that if I paint my tank with "Cow Spots" (grand kids and I want to paint the ole ugly thing) that nobody will fill it up because the black patterns will cause the tank to get to hot and become dangerous??????? I'm pushing the BS button,,,, anybody...

Grandson and I are getting into the whole train thing and thinking about adding a suspended track set-up to the garage!! Originally (and still may) I was going to put it in the house but having 2nd thoughts on it,, Anybody tried this before??..

Baartman has the right idea, make sure to offset the screws so it won't tip from side to side. Get a roll of cheap x-mas wrapping and just roll it out under your project.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Froze My **** OFF!!!!

Honestly, I'm a wood worker and have made several different variations of lumber holders and they all never seem to do the job. Everything always seems to be on top or just in the way of the piece I need. I went back to "Ol Faithful", my rafters. I just nailed a couple pieces of wood across...
