    Best garage door opener lubrication?

    I use the 3 in 1 garage door lube, linked in a previous comment. One shot to the length of each torsion spring while door is closed and another when it is open, all door panel hinges and the sleeves for the door roller axles. Twice a year at daylight savings. Also check the travel of the...

    Cheapest 29ga rib metal roofing sheets to sheath exterior walls of older shingled home (1920) as price is main factor. Home is roughly 20feet by 50

    One other idea to drop the cost would be to see if the supplier has any discontinued colors or sheets that were miss cut to an odd length. I had a co-worker able to roof a 15'x20' gable roof shed with panels that were made wrong. Took some extra work on his end to cut them down to the correct...

    Would like to get one for the wife as her crafting/Cricut tools are taking over the office desk drawers. Just not close to any Lowes stores and can not order it online.

    Socket Drawer or Blow Molded case

    I have a tool chest now that can comfortably fit all my tools, before I had the Craftsman blow molded case for my sockets and what did not fit into that went into two different plastic tool boxes. One for standard and the other for metric. I did motorcycle track days and was easier to grab the...

    that is why I was upset and posted this thread. They removed the Extreme line from the stores and replaced with the Performax. We were also referring to the accessories for the Extreme Garage shelving. They had cabinet doors, peg board, a drawer and a few other add-ons for the shelving. When...

    Garage shelving going out the window

    Not sure if they still have the accessories for the Extreme Garage shelving as I can not find it on the Menards website. I do not mind the tan color, since most of the shelving 15 years ago you had the choices of Tan, Beige or possibly a very light gray. I did find this in my search though...

    Garage shelving going out the window

    I think there may have been one person that did the movable garage storage out of wood with the black bins that have the yellow tops. Then in less than a month.....BANG !! ALL over the social media pages and everyone doing their own video like they made and designed it themselves. LOL It is a...

    Garage shelving going out the window

    I will try to get some pics tomorrow as we will be going to a concert tonight. Not to say that the weight capacity is much different between the two products, which you can see on the Menards website. Also not much of a fan of the black wrinkle finish on the Performax shelving. Another option...

    Plumbing question

    I am in Sun Prairie, WI. Had a basement bar installed and they ran the lines on the outside wall. No issues from plumber, nor the inspector. Our master bath is on the Western side of the house and they have the sink on that wall. Possibly allowed to do it since the water lines are not...

    9’ basement ceiling but can’t get 12’ sheets down there

    Is this an "L" shaped staircase/landing or a "U". I too have a 9' basement ceiling and had this issue, but with a "L" staircase/landing. We first removed all the railings. The 54" x 12' sheets came as two sheets taped together. We had to split the sheets and carry them down one by one with a...

    Train Track Rail

    Door stops, to keep swing doors open on windy day, or due to the builder not setting the door properly and keeps closing on its own.

    Torn between main door options on a 30x50 (two smaller vs one huge)

    Referring to your coat comment, that is why they call them Canada Goose and not North American Goose coats. LOL Our first snowfall here in WI which will of course melt in a few days. I was out shoveling the 2 inches of snow in just a hooded sweatshirt with a temp of 36 F and partial sun...

    Where/What to buy for car stuck in pebble driveway?

    Seeing that it is a steep drive and having small loose gravel may all end up at the bottom of the drive eventually. I could not recall the commercial name for it, so I had to do a Google search. "Driveway Drainage Gravel Grid" Basically a grid that is installed, add the gravel and then able...
