    Turning Off Thread Rating in Free Parking

    It's abundantly obvious someone's favorite pass time is to vote, give single stars, to nearly EVERY thread in the Free Parking forum, the asinine behavior encroaches on the absurd. I'm not certain what this passive/aggressive approach is meant communicate, but is there any way we can simply...

    Is a Mini Split a Possibility for Me?

    The older I get, the less I want to work in the garage in miserable temperatures, either hot or cold. I normally heat the garage with either a propane or kerosene unit in the winter and was thinking about getting a mobile air conditioning unit (kind of look like mini R2-D2s) and thought there...

    Wireless Infrared Outdoor Security Cameras...

    I wasn't sure where to locate this thread (so I put it in two places, Admin feel free to delete from one or the other as you deem necessary), it will be used as a tool for keeping my garage secure; however, in the strictest sense it would most likely be considered an electronic gadget by...

    Garage Door Not Fitting Tightly in Frame...

    I've had my garage doors in for about two years, but have just recently noticed that both doors do not fit snugly in their frames. There is about a 1/4" of play in the doors when I push against them from the inside, while they are in their down position, until they rest against the frame. I...

    12V Battery Solar Trickle Charger?

    Do any of you have any pointers or first hand knowledge of good 12V solar trickle charging units? My shed still doesn't have power (money has been thin lately), but I need to keep my tractor battery on a trickle charger, so the obvious choice is solar, does anyone have any recommendations, or...

    Chainsaw Sharpener?

    I own a Stihl Farm Boss and usually go through about 4-6 chains a season, I take these to my local TSC and they sharpen them for me for $5.00 per blade, IMO this is a pretty darn good deal; however, I want to be able to sharpen my own blades, should the need arise. I know nothing about the...

    PTO vs Engine Driven Log Splitters

    I'm trying to find a log splitter and have been going over which would be better, a PTO driven splitter or one that has it's own motor. The PTO would be nice, but I would have to drag the tractor out every time I wanted to split wood. However, the motor unit would be easier to use, but then I...

    Little Giant Ladders...

    I'm in the market for a GOOD quality extension ladder, I figure ~20' is good. I've been trying to do a bit of research and keep coming across review sites that simply are over the top, in their reviews of the Little Giant, I must admit, their quite impressive and multi-functional and their...

    HVAC voltage spikes

    Disclosure, this isn't happening in my garage, but my house. We've just had a home built and have noticed an odd problem. Every time the thermostat kicks the heat pump(s) on (A/C right now), the lights flicker, not dim, but actually flicker, it effects anything plugged into an outlet and it's...

    Problem parking the truck in the new garage...

    ...with the wall cabinets in place, I can BARELY get my full sized truck to fit inside (length is the problem not width). I tried to take the truck size into account when I hung the cabinets, but if I had mounted them high enough to completely clear the hood/tailgate, I'd have needed a step...

    Finally got the garage done today...

    ...well as done as ANY garage ever is, LOL. I'm still waiting on my workbench, I was going to build one, but thought a Craftsman model would actually fit/look better, considering all the other Craftsman items I have. I have been reading/learning a lot and used quite a few ideas from this site...
