    Garage Remodel Questions

    I am kind of in the same boat but starting about 3 years after I moved it. Lighting is going to be on the wish list forever and it will aid in everything you do. Once installed it will be out of the way and will not impact any other projects on your list. I would start there. Second, I...

    Vintage Air Compressors

    Thanks for the information. I am not sure what I am going to do. Like most of you, I have a thing for older stuff but this has a lot bigger footprint than my oil less Husky and sounds like less output. I probably should pass

    Vintage Air Compressors

    Can you guys give me any information on this compressor. It’s available locally and is said to be running great. The guy is moving and has a garage full of large items he can’t take. It is a Saylor Beall upright compressor. I️ don’t really need a compressor but have a relatively new Husky...
