    Humidity Issue in Shop

    Hello, Background: Several years ago I bought property with a @20x30 shop. It's built as a pole structure. It has traditional siding, but no sheathing - only a tar paper type wrap underneath and studs inside are exposed. It is open all the way up to the roof inside. It is not well sealed - it...

    Electric Meter Falling Off House?

    Ok, so title is a little dramatic but my electric meter has come a little loose from the house. I saw a little gap between the top of the electric meter and the house where the caulk had split, so I pushed on it and had some movement at the top. Obviously I want to secure it back up, but I have...

    My lucky day at the junkyard (or, a you **** thread)

    Dad asked me to go with him to the junkyard this weekend, and who am I to turn down that opportunity. Never know what you will find. There are a few around here that charge $1 entrance fee, and have really reasonable prices on parts. They always seem to have something interesting. I came across...

    Painting a metal front door

    Hello, I am finishing my house painting project and everything else looks so nice, the front door is sort of sticking out a little bit. It's metal clad door, not sure exactly what it's called. It's currently white, and I'd like to keep it white, so no color changes. BUT, I'm not sure how to...

    Compressor locked up -- and then not?

    I've been using my new-to-me compressor recently and not had any issues at all until this past weekend. I smelled a burning type smell, so I shut it down. I was done with the project and tired, so I figured I'd come back to it. Yesterday I went to check it out. I thought maybe the belt was...

    Snap-On Drawer Guards?

    I just purchased my very first Snap-On Boxes, a KRA5213/5208 combo (See http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1001520).

    Snap-On Tool Box Value???

    Hello, I have had my eyes open for a big shiny Snap-On toolbox for quite a while now. I want to replace what I have now (not a big shiny Snap-On). I can usually tell right away if it's a good deal or not, it's not usually hard with these boxes. I stumbled on this setup and it caught my eye...

    Oversized 1-Car Generic Builders Garage

    Well, maybe it wasn't quite as bad as it seemed, but it was pretty close. When I bought the house, the garage was just plain drywall with barely a tape job done, and holes cut into it in places where apparently the previous homeowner found a leaky pipe. Bare concrete floor with a kickwall. A...
