Sorry, tried to take a shot of bow in header... just ended up dropping level on my noggin and dropping phone! :) ...and yes, that's a 150" projector screen above the door.

New strut

I have Yeah, I checked with a string since my biggeststraightedge was only 9 ft. I even installed a heavy duty strut on the door to help stiffen it to see of it would help. Definitely the header.

Hey all, I have a literal garage question today! LOL while doing my reno, ditra, and tile... I noticed that the top header on my 16 ft garage door is bowed outward enough that light shines between the rubber seal and the door at the middle. I checked the door and it is dead straight. The bow is...

I think those are the correct wings for the 8". The 10" had diagonal bracing AFAIK. Maybe someone is more knowledgeable here can confirm. My 10" had a homemade extension wing on one side and the standard craftsman on the other. Someone spent a LOT of time welding that puppy up!

I've been sitting on a craftsman 100 (113.29992) restore for about 2 years. Looking forward to starting in 2021. The saw I bought was used continuously since birth and is still all there and in really good shape. I even got the O.G. stand and an extra set of cross-rails/supports and hold down...

I feel the same way. Hope this hot mess gets resolved. That load should never have been poured. It was already curing. Not to mention zero float and trowel work. Hope the legal system does its job for you.

Laughing as I sit on my sinking HF stool as I type this!

Here in the Midwest, prices are still high at the big box stores. Looking forward to seeing prices start to normalize.

Man, that *****! Is that the norm for construction in your area? The old man's shop (passed away about 11 years ago) has just over 9' and I thought that was low. He built the garage for bodywork back in the late 60's. I'm having to face relocating my mom to a less rural area now as she's...

Looks a lot like mine right now! Lol

Re: What are the best small totes that are a=sturdy enough to hold heavy tools and pa The home depot ones that are black with yellow lids are pretty solid, but expensive

I vote press fit. Usually, you'd pull the whole shaft and use press plates or a bearing splitter... if this were a transmission. If there isn't a set screw in the hole, you can bet it is pressed on. Soak it with penetrating lube and try your puller again tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing man! I had a friend that used to do batches of wine. Never got to see his fermenting setup. Brewing is a lot more intensive (but also more rewarding, lol). My wife would kill me if I suddenly announced I was going to start brewing my own lager... :-)

@ducksface, that's almost exactly what I'd build with just 1 roll up and a side door that has a real sill. Neighbor's is 6', but I'd go 7' to avoid knocking myself out getting through the door. I'm going to try to convince them that since I'm a competent carpenter (and car painter), that I can...
