I have a lot of Harbor Freight tools. I would like to have a good Free set..

I was thinking of sloping the apron like is done on gutters. I have a gravel driveway. Not all that much water flows into the garage. Only in the winter after it all starts to melt. All of the heavy water flows away from the garage. As far as the slab goes. I would only have to raise the slab a...

I ran a line from the road to what would be level on the garage. I would have to come up 5' in order to just get to level. Not going to happen.

Denwood. I will give it a try higher up in the garage rafters with the powered sub.

Remember. Sub woofers are non directional. Meaning you don't need them facing you. If you have your tweeters facing you, and your mid range on the side. You should put your sub on the other side of the room. down low. Subs in the back of say a car should either point down, or be 2" away from a...

I don't use them either. Sold all of mine at a yard sale. I went with LED ones. Last a lot longer. Can be dropped, and just won't burn out..

Cotton balls with peppermint oil on them. Put a few in the cars, and if you know where they are coming in put some there. They hate the smell of the peppermint.
