Last night I replaced the simple doorbell remote on my 3 year old Genie opener with one of these two switch wall consoles that allows for independent light control. It's a simple two wire install, one marked W, the other B. I unscrewed the old button, wired the new one, and plugged the...

I'm batting around an idea, and I'd like to see if you guys think it makes any sense. I just finished rewiring and drywalling my garage, and I mounted an extra outlet in the ceiling near the center of my 2 car garage for a retractable drop light. I was thinking about the potential for a...

Right now, it's not in my budget to replace the windows in my garage, but since they're old wood windows, I can easily scrape out the old putty and replace the panes with new glass, which I'll have to do as a few are broken and painted over. My question is, can I replace the single panes of...

At least I found a few decorative items for the garage on my way. :thumbup: Once a summer I drive up to my cabin near Coudersport PA to do a little maintenance and make sure it hasn't fallen over. There's a few perpetual yard sales and an old flea market that I usually check out for tools...

I want to put a TV in my detached garage, but running coax would be a real pain in the ***. I've seen a few wireless signal transmitters that will send your cable box or DVR signal to a TV up to a few hundred feet away. Anyone here have any experience with something like that? -Jim

I'm going to be finishing the interior of my 2 car detatched garage, and one thing I'd like to do is clean the I-beam that runs across the center of the structure. Is there a recommended way to get the rust off? I was thinking about a wire cup on a drill. Also, what kind of paint would be...

I'm about to place an order on BigFloors for a GarageDeck setup, but I wanted to add a few RaceDeck tiles to add a highlight color that's not available from GarageDeck. I know they're both SnapLock products, but I don't know if they'll lock together. If they do, I'm ready to order. :thumbup:

Check out www.lawnmowerclass.com, there is a settlement for anyone who bought a gas powered mower between January 1994 and April 2010. Apparently manufacturers were not honest about engine output for their gas powered mowers. The claim is for $35 for each walk behind and $75 for each riding...

I'm getting two 9x7 doors replaced tomorrow, along with new openers. Have you ever tipped guys for their work, and if so, what's a fair amount?

Found two Gladiator slatwall bike hangers, brand new in the box, for $1.97 each. They're normally $30-35 each. I was there to pick this up. :bounce: -Jim

It's right in the middle of the garage floor next to that central I-beam. I haven't messed with it since I haven't even begun cleaning out my garage, but at some point I'll have to address it.

Just signed up to the forum, looking for ideas to renovate my garage. My wife and I bought our first home in October of 2008, and our first renovation was to have the broken concrete and gravel driveway dug out and paved in asphalt. So far so good. :D Before: That's the old owner's truck...
