I have a Bissell wall mount car vacuum. It has a 32 ft hose. Bought it at Ollie’s for $80, 12 years ago. Not the power of a shop vac but cleans cars real well. It has a floor attachment that works well. Not good for leaves, the few I get I pick up.

I would love to win this!

I purchased these two overhead cabinets for my two car garage at Habitat for $30 each. Sanded down and painted with SW oil based paint, color keyed primer and gloss. My one car workshop has new lower cabinets I purchased unfinished at HD twelve years ago. The cabinets have particle board...

I don’t use my coping saw or scroll saw as much as I used to. Decided to work on a project and replace the blades on both with the correct blade. I had a little plastic bag filled with dozens of blades bought over the years on sale just thrown in the bag, most loose some in the original...

What a nice gesture. Count me in.

A very nice offer. They would look great in my garage.

How about making a frame of lath, attaching it to the wall and putting Velcro on the lath. Much easier to repair than Velcro adhesive.

If you have floor drains hooked to a sewer system be sure they have water in them as you may be having sewer gas coming in.

I have used Wet & Forget on pavers, drives, wood fences and Roof. It has never disapointed me. The moss will die in a few days and rain will wash it away. The pavers will brighten up and good for a year or more.

I bought the Rigid hose mentioned above years ago because of the 10 ft length. I am very pleased with it and would buy it again.

Thank you, Yes, I was the high school shop teacher with with OCD! I use my shop daily.

I have used the vinyl floor protector found in the flooring section at Lowe’s. It is about a 1/8 inch thick and resistant to most chemicals. It can be bought by the foot. I am very pleased with it. Width is 36 inches and easy to cut.

I had a similar situation. I filled the hollow interior spaces of the face brick with a vinyl concrete patching compound. I applied an adhesion bonding agent first and added some to the compound to thin it out. I applied it using a wide putty knife to get it smooth. I was able to sand it with...

This is what I have in my garage. I just detail my own three cars and my three sons. The cart I bought at Tractor Supply and customized the shelves to fit my boxes of microfiber towel types. Spray bottles on the top. The cabinets above hold stock of liquids and other supplies. I purchased...
