My area is mainly oak trees. I think Caddyman is on to something regarding the fiberglass shingles.

It's definitely not animal related, but good thought! The white material is definitely past the top aggregate layer. The house has normal asphalt shingles. I've never had any single shingles replaced on the garage since I've lived here. The garage could very well have fiberglass shingles. That...

Hey All: I'm a long time lurker and don't post much, but I visit quite a bit. I'm looking to finally get back into getting my garage in shape. As such I was evaluating the exterior of my garage notating what needed to be fixed. As part of the that I looked at the roof and noticed the following...

This entire thread to me looks like you were intending to create another "PVC vs the World" debate. You have been here long enough to know what happens when someone creates such a thread. :) The issue here is that you opted for the cheaper and far more lethal alternative to save $14.00 plus...

I'm already looking to purchase a few items from Allen Tools to round out a portable tool set. I could definitely use a set of hex keys. :)

Any special places where you purchased the items? I'm looking to purchase more Channellock tools at decent prices. I know some of them probably came from Home Depot. If you have any secrets please share! :P

I picked up two as well and used a gift card for part of the purchase. This is definitely one of my better scores from the last year. Thanks!

There is a whole thread about it over here: http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106647

The Extreme Green color code is PCU-40124 (pulled from this site and double checked against another). Any powder coating business should be able to match it with the paint code. Good luck!

All: Thank you everyone for the comments. Wayne Dalton isn't very big in my area. Mainly Lowes is the only one who installs them. Overhead Doors makes a good product, but it comes down to the quality of the independent franchise shops that use the Overhead name. All 3 installation companies...

Howdy: I'm getting ready to replace my two 8x7 garage doors. I live in Texas and the doors fast west and receive full sun for several hours each day. I plan to fully insulate my garage and I'm having a hard time figuring out which insulated doors to purchase. I've got quotes from 3 different...

I'm a lifetime Discount Tire customer as well. While it goes without saying that experiences will vary with franchise stores they do offer lifetime rotation and balancing for free. I rotate and balance twice a year on my daily driver and once a year on my truck (as I don't drive it as much)...

That area is indeed very nice. However, the Fayette Power Project near La Grange is supposedly the cause of a lot of environmental issues in the area. I've been reading news articles about hundreds of trees mysteriously dying and other weird environmental anomalies. Another area of Texas you...

The PM one I can understand, but I've seen far too many forums enacting search engine timeouts which ended up hurting them. Users will start going to Google and any ad revenue will be lost. I personally dislike it when web sites limit searches to something absurd like 30 or more seconds. A lot...

I must have missed the 57w bulb comment. I would have said the same thing about keeping the base the same so you can swap out to a lower wattage. Anyhow good luck with the work!
