It started with the wall button no longer working. There was power. The keypad, car, and remotes still worked, and testing the wall button at different locations, including closer to the opener and directly to the opener itself showed the button still worked. Something in the wall? So I...

I was looking around on Amazon for some PPE for grinding the epoxy off my concrete floor. I have too many friends who have had silica-related illnesses to mess with this stuff. And asthma. And COVID-19. The CYA trifecta. ;) I was hoping to find recommendations for the best place to pick up...

I bought a Price Pfister replacement hot water stem, pulled the old one out and cannot, for the life of me, get the new one to work. I've tried every position and it just runs in any position. What the heck am I missing?! I've done this before!

You gotta make due with what ya got, right? When you're done, the Allen wrenches will be pretty stuck. Just wiggle the wrench and they'll shake loose. 9/16 wrench with 7mm & 8mm Allen wrenches.

I have a standard 16' door that sometimes blows back from the door frame under heavy winds. I wanted to adjust the door so it stays flush, but the installer has so many nuts and bolts already hitting each other, it would almost be impossible to get all the tracks adjusted. I pulled on each...

I have $150 in HF gift cards and want a compressor for my garage. I'd LIKE to try my hand at auto body, so I'd need something that's going to provide enough continuous pressure for paint. I also only have 15 amp lines in the garage and I'm pretty sure none of them are dedicated to just one...

I cleaned the garage, white-washed the entire thing and installed new stairs. The floor had been epoxied a few years ago and it's beginning to show some wear. I was somewhat happy with the results, but I had LOTS of built-in cabinets and shelves that did nothing but collect ****. I finally...

I wanted to get things like a wall-mounted vacuum, retractable extension cords (wall- or ceiling-mounted), air compressor, etc. Any other things you would ask for that are around $50-$100? What are your recommendations? Keep in mind I would like to NOT deter fammily and friends from buying...

I have a friend who is a Ford mechanic at a local dealership. They were throwing away a 6ft tri-fold Extang tonneau cover due to small tear. Unfortunately, I have a SuperCrew with a 5.5ft bed. I can remove the cover and cut down the frame, then reattach the material. Any words of advice from...

I live in Fairmont, WV. Originally from Thomaston, CT. I know, how does someone go form CT to ending up in WV? I have a 2-car garage, single 16' door (that is loud(er) than normal after the wife backed into it) with 12' ceilings. I made built-in cabinets in the large nook in the back, but...

I know a lift is obvious if there is that much headroom, but what does everyone suggest for high walls? My garage is roughly 27x20, including a 5x11 nook where I plan on redoing all the cabinetry. I found this link today and was floored...

We bought a pop-up the other year and it won't fit in our garage. I park it just off our driveway in the grass and I have enough property to store it on, but our HOA does not allow fences. I was thinking about a movable garden screen of some kind that I can stand in front of it that I can...

Any ideas for colors besides gray or tan floors and white walls? There are some, like the beautiful Texaco with the red and green, and others with gray and/or red striping around the perimeter. I've also seen some more elaborate setups with the filthy rich having wood walls and cabinets (other...
