    Paint Question

    Kilz oil is a interior primer used for stain blocking. You asked if you can use exterior latex on top of it. Is this a inside or outside paint job? If outside, skip the kilz. If inside your latex exterior paint will dry slow and smell quite a bit.

    Paint garage wall

    I would prime with a oil primer then two coats of top quality eggshell or pearl finish. This will allow you to wipe the walls if needed.

    garage tv - hd antenna - what are you using

    I connected a coax cable from the cable box in the basement (70') to the TV in the garage. In the basement I use the HDMI connection off the box for the TV. Works great. Get all the channels. Only drawback is you must watch the same channel. No issue here as the kids are grown. No issue...

    Paint sticking to walls

    in the paint business. the paint and primer stuff is a marketing tool. raw walls should always be primed and a top quality paint used after. we only recommend the paint and primer on walls in good shape and similar color being painted

    Need paint to match the HF gloss red...

    home depot! they won't match, they give you only what the computer tells them. go to a Sherman williams or Ben Moore store, bring in a piece of the color you need and they will match it.

    Help identify the ratchet extensions on Wheeler Dealer.

    also a huge fan of the show. they explain the purchase and repairs of each car extremely well. however, the profit they make on each piece auto should include some labor time cost.

    would you buy a wilton vise w/cracked base if price right?

    Wilton makes the vise for snap on. my son the dumpster driver pick up one from the local auto repair shop for free. a new pair of teeth cost $40 and a little paint gives me a new vice.
