    Getting propane tanks filled to the legal limit

    You said they were new tanks, did they purge the tanks while they were filling them? If not that is why it only filled up so full. It is hard to find someone around here to purge them for some reason.

    Cordless Drill Recomendation

    I use a 24 volt lithium ion Milwaukee drill/hammer drill all the time and it has been great. I got the package deal of the drill, sawzall, and circular saw. I have thrown everything at this drill and it has worked perfect for over two years now. Cant say the same for the 28 volt craftsmen...

    Porcelain Tile - Where it meets the garage door

    I don't think that edging is going to stand up to car traffic. It is fine to walk on and light use but the weight of a car will more than likely bend it or pull it away from the tile. But I guess you never know and I could very well be wrong.

    Washing Microfibers After Wax Off?

    I think what you mean is how do you get wax off the inside of the washing machine. Try running a load with a couple of old clean towels and your regular detergent with a couple of cups of white vinegar. Then run an empty load with just bleach. Should take care of the film in the machine...

    Garage Baseboard Options

    I have always thought that the pvc boards would be a good choice for this. Like you said you can use clear caulking around the bottom. It will not look as good as stainless steel but would hold up good and be a little cheaper. You could even use a router and put a profile around the top to...

    Is there an easy way to get water out of a PVC conduit?

    I would tie a rag on the end of the fishing string along with more fishing string. Go to the other end of the string and pull the rag through, once through tie a new rag on and pull the other way. Do this until the rags are no longer wet. This may take a little longer but if you have a helper...

    Hello, and a question about baseboards

    If it were me I would use Trex decking boards and then caulk around the bottom and top. It may be a little more expensive but I don't think you would ever have to replace them. just an idea

    insulation question

    Thanks for the input and the ideas, I figured that was the case with the building code so I guess that is what I will do. With not taping or muding the joints would it still pass an inspection? Anything better than fire code sheetrock for a fire for this? Again thanks shawn

    insulation question

    Not a bad Idea but due to low clearence issues I dont think it will work. When I put new doors on the garage I had to get low clearence hinges for the top panel. Shawn

    insulation question

    There is living space above my garage and I was wondering what is the best way to insulate the ceiling in the garage. The garage is not heated or cooled but never gets below freezing in the winter. Once the insulation is done properly this time around (was not done right by the other...
