There is a local ad for a brand new, never installed, Marvin Integrity window that was ordered in the wrong size. The window is close to the size I need, slightly smaller, but the right color. I have never priced a Marvin window & wanted to find out if this is a bargain or not. It's a triple...

I've been "remodeling" the work space in my basement that's mostly used for wood working projects. It's not really remodeling so much as just finally setting it up to be a more efficient space to work in. One thing I do like to have & use, are the storage drawer units that stand upright that...

Two (2) Brinkmann Smokers - 1 NEW $45 & 1 USED $25 One wasn't enough so we got two. :lol: We ordered 2 of these a long time ago so we could give one as a gift but that person already had one. We gave it a shot but decided it was not large enough for what my wife wanted to cook & only tried it...

I have had these bar signs since the early 1980's & had gotten them from a friend who's parents had them in their basement bar back in the 1970's. Since I never got around to setting up a rec room where I can display them by now, I probably never will & had better offer them up to someone who...

I saw these in Home Depot in the storage shelving section & thought they were reasonably priced & fairly strong. My basement is due to get a mild makeover for my wood shop & I was thinking about building a new work bench, some cabinets, & thought that buying something already done might be...

I ran across this topic on another forum & thought some of you might want to read it over for your own projects. One place it looks like it would help out in, is the garage ceiling. It might increase the ceiling joist strength so you could get an increased load capacity in attic storage...

Sorry, I know it isn't actually a "garage" question, but I've been searching all over the internet for an answer & haven't gotten a clear one yet. I've always seen some good info here so I thought I'd post my question. What I am hoping to find out is whether I can add some kind of insulation...

Stopped at Home Depot to pick up some fasteners & spotted a reconditioned Lincoln Electric, 140 HD Weld Pak for $393.00 with the regular price at $524.00. I just poked around on a google search & the price seems like it's a decent deal, but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with...

Maybe I'm out of touch with current prices, but I'm in sticker shock at a few quotes I recently received for my house. My house was built in 1987 & has the architectural style, asphalt shingles on it. They are probably reaching their life expectancy very soon, & a few even came loose recently in...

1971 Plymouth Barracuda - $9500 SOLD! I had bought this car to be a back burner project for a later date, but I need to free up my time & space. It's a mostly complete project that was originally a 318, bench seat, auto on the column, but was changed to a 400-4V at one point. Whatever was...

A few years ago I installed a ceiling fan, a Hunter, cast iron body model with a lifetime warranty. The fan itself is great, it's quiet & moves the air well, but the issue I am having is that the 3 speed switch has stopped working on the lowest setting. This is the second switch now, also a...

I was giving someone some info on overhead doors & started to wonder if there was a way to move the automatic door openers. They are not usually a problem being up at the ceiling, but I have a lift & was worried about clearance when I get around to installing an opener one day. I found this...

Found an interesting site for classic car theft prevention with some useful information. http://www.kennish.com/securecar/

I'm almost done assembling this one, (one more to go) & one thing for sure, it's FRIGGIN' HEAVY!! I could have paid an additional $175 each to have them installed, but a few reasons I decided to do it myself were: 1) I saved some money. 2) More importantly than saving the money, is if I know...

Haven't posted much, but I read a lot on this site. I have a few photos & a floor plan showing my own garage. It seems that no matter how big they are, they're never big enough. I also keep making changes to small things inside, like the layout of benches, shelves & tools, but this spring I will...
