I used to be in the camp of more locks, deadbolts, etc., but around where I live, if you don't live near the building, they'll get in one way or the other. I've seen meth heads ram their beater trucks through garage doors to get in. Then, besides having to replace the tools, they also have to...

Does anyone have any good suggestions on a rubber mat for my workbench top? Mine is 11 ft long, so I'd probably need to get a 12' and cut it.

How tight are you tightening the screws? Maybe you're doing it correctly, but, as soon as the washer touches the tin, app. another 1/4-1/2 turn. A lot of people use impact guns to screw their tin down because the impacts are lighter than the drills with clutches. I set my clutch at level 4 on...

If it were mine, I'd consider (from your drawing), spinning the garage 90 degrees with the garage doors facing the neighbor's. The, the corner of the garage would be on the same corner as the house's left side, again, looking at the pic. You want enough room to be able to back a trailer into...

Zip lock bags. Lots of good suggestions and though I have many, I will be adding a few of these. One thing I have not seen that I use, is 3 different sizes of Zip lock bags. They come in handy for a lot of uses and if I need to write what the part/hardware is for, for later use, I don't have...

When I split, I stack my wood into racks/pallets I made and use the tractor to move them. Thus, using a stand alone is the only way I'd go. Plus, I don't want to put unnecessary hours on a tractor. My splitter has a 5hp. industrial Briggs on it and it splits about 3-4 cords per year, been...

Mine is pretty simple and easy to operate. I removed the drain pet-**** at the bottom of the tank. Put a 90 degree elbow on and then extended it out and put a valve on it. Came off that with another 90 and it goes through the stem wall with 3/4" pvc to the outside. On the other side of the...

Don't listen to the naysayers. I have underground dust collection/wiring for my cabinet saw and my sliding table saw. However, before I built my shop, I made a to-scale layout of my shop with to-scale templates of my machines to place them precisely how I wanted them, based on years of using...

Hilarious.

I have it on the ceiling and walls. Best thing for me. I made a sketch of where the wall perlins are and when I hang stuff, I just remove the screws that hold the tin on and re-use the same hole. For hanging shop posters/flags, I use magnets. Best part, once it's done, no more painting, and...

Since it's paint grade, flexible moulding is available, and that pattern is common. You may check with where you got it, or at a local lumber yard, but here is one example on Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006R983Y8/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I have a 2019 Ram 3500, MEGA cab Cummins and a 10k symmetric lift. When I lift the truck, I park to where the driver's seat is directly even with the left post. I don't have the measurement, but, just park your truck where you want it, and locate the post in-line with the driver's seat and...

I agree, mostly. If the kitchen is in a high humidity area, and the doors/drawer fronts are solid wood/wood frames, then there is a good chance the gap on the side to side will expand and potentially rub, even the slightest bit when opening/closing the door. On veneer wrapped doors/drawers...

I used to be a pro cabinet builder, still do some, at my own leisure. High end cabs do not have screw on raised panels on end cabinets, rather, the raised panel/frame are integrated into being the end, by itself. I used to use a local door company on large jobs, but quit that and do all my own...
