    Small 14x20 One Car Garage / Future Auto Shop

    I agree with Jo Diesel, get all the wiring and then some done now, I would have him just get it into the garage and MAYBE do the outlets but leave the lights and the finishing until I had a better idea of how I want my work space laid out then run the interior cable runs myself. Not sure about...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Zeph's Quasi WWII Era Shop

    #$@&ing Tweakers!

    A rancher who leases pasture from my wife's family had his ATV stolen from inside his barn while he was home, a good 1/4 mile out to the road, with dogs and an ....'ornery' reputation who is armed at home wasnt a deterrent... then there is this situation...

    Ideas for my leaky garage?

    Is that real grass or synthetic? The only grass I see that looks like that is synthetic, not trying to be a smarta.., I know that the synthetics require some compaction under the installation which may be part of the problem as well. Depending on whether significant rainfall is the norm or an...

    cheap tools that you were supprised about

    On a less positive but still surprising note was a 14" harbor Freight chop saw, it worked marginally when new and lasted virtually no time before it completely quit. It now works intermittantly when it wants to but still cuts very poorly. I wish i could make myself throw it out but it remains in...

    Pickup truck crane / hoists

    Thats the set up I tried to copy from memory, they have a very nice product but IIRC retail was over a grand several years ago which put it out of my arena

    The cuckoo's nest

    Its going to be an awesome build but I got to say, that kind of zoning enforcement would have me over the edge, it's nuts if the neighbors dont object and future neighbors see what they have to live next to before they buy. I'd have left the old footing as long as possible as a monument to...

    Pickup truck crane / hoists

    Thanks, I was thinking around that gauge but hadnt worked it out. The stand alone battery is another idea to consider. At least for the truck, the Jeep is getting winch power to the back anyway so i can use that. Bummer about the mice, my mother in laws car needs a new #1 spark plug wire every...

    Pickup truck crane / hoists

    Yeah, if I used it more frequently I'd do the same, the hand winch is really not of much value as the few times I've used it I ended up lifting via the hydraulics more than the cable. What gauge wire did you end up running for power?
