They look nice. No love for Ram 1500? Is there a website I missed?

Looking for a rabbit hole to dive down? Check out Gridfinity for storage management. Look in the video description for links to the files. They are all free from what I've seen. Looks like I'll be spending the next few months printing boxes for my shop. I really like the modularity...

I wish I would have included concrete pad for driveway and at least 5-10 feet on sides. To save money I made the driveway gravel and it's a pain in the rear to pull stuff out of the shop when cleaning/reorganizing. Also, I'd like to put things on the side that can be stored outside, but...

I have a bunch of windows I need to re-caulk on the inside and out. On the outside, it's mostly a urethane caulk that is very hard and mostly brittle. (Probably 25 years since it was applied) On the inside of most windows, I think they used drywall mud, as it's chalky white, although feels...

Looks like a good product. I see that coverage is 125 – 175 sq. ft./gallon. Anyone have any ideas how to guess at square footage for a pergola without calculating all of the boards? I think I may just get a few gallons and see how it goes.

I have a cedar pergola outside that hasn't seen any love in a long time, so the wood is pretty dry. My plan right now is to wash the pergola and then spray BLO/Turpentine 50/50 via a lower pressure pump sprayer. May do it multiple times over a month or so, to make sure it's pretty soaked in...

It may not have been silicone, as that was my term. It was a caulk tube with a black sealant. Unfortunately, it's on the second floor and I'm about as nimble as a rhinoceros on a skate board so I avoid going up there at all costs. I'll see if I can get one of his guys to take a picture from...

I just had my roof replaced and I was looking over everything, I came across the vent for the propane water heater and I see sunlight coming down. I can't see the sky or specific path, but light is coming down. I would have expected that the flashing would stop all light. The roofer said...

Yes, basically emergency and quick things like fix something on the mower where I don't want to take it to the shop. I have a full set in the shop, but I don't want to take those out as I lose stuff in the process. For whatever set I get, I'll also have a bag with the other things I need...

I've read through similar threads, but didn't find any that compared these sets. I'm looking for a portable mechanic's set to keep in the pickup and I'm looking at these sets. Anyone have thoughts on which is best? Husky Mechanics Tool Set - 270 pieces - $129 -...

This is my current design. Completely metal. It's 6x6x.25 posts, 8x2x11gauge trusses and beam, 8" C purlins.

I'm about to build a metal patio using 4 6x6 posts that is 25x30. Should I pour the pad first or after the posts? The Welding company suggested putting the posts 4' in the ground with bags of concrete and then pouring the pad afterwards because it would save money on foundation. But I'm...

Yes. I like to do things myself, but I'm too old for that. :)

I'm working on designing a patio for the backyard. It's 25x30 made from steel. Curious if anyone has any feedback. I'm going to have a certified welder build it, but I may do the cut and prep work. Materials are - 6x6x.25 posts, 8x2x11ga tube and purlins are 8", with 26 gauge sheet and...

I appreciate you posting this as I've been thinking of doing the same thing for a while, but haven't decided on chickens or ducks. (want both, but it's too much to take on). I've been planning a very similar approach. Here are a few different thoughts, although I'm still undecided. 1...
