    Vinyl siding installation question

    Junkman, pics would be great. I'm not so good at visualizing things in my head. KMR, I haven't seen those boxes before. I'll have to Google for that one. Thanks!

    Vinyl siding installation question

    I'm looking at installing vinyl siding on my garage soon. I've done this before, before the garage was enlarged, but now I'm looking at doing this before any of the exterior outlet/light boxes or hose bibs are installed, primarily due to the fact that I've got the materials for the siding, but...

    Garage A/C

    Is that what is referred to as a "mini-split"? It has an outside and an inside component? Or is that one completely self contained in one inside unit?

    Car Guy Garage Contest - Ends 5/19

    I have a full sheet of pegboard backing my workbench, and will probably use more as work progresses. I find it very useful, and inexpensive as a storage solution. What do you use besides pegboard to hang things?

    Chick Needs Some Help!

    I did indeed receive your message. Since I am frankly not inclined to waste much more of my time trying to help you gain insight into your deeply flawed perceptions of compassion and economics, I chose not to reply. I will tell you that if you were to spend the sum total of five minutes on a...

    Chick Needs Some Help!

    I think most folks here understand the concepts of fiscal responsiblity. What we don't understand, is why that would supplant your sense of compassion. Simply stating that your assumptions are "fact", does not, in fact, make them so. It simply makes you appear foolish. If you speak in...

    Chick Needs Some Help!

    Maybe her husband isn't as insecure as you might be. So her nick is "descriptive". Oh, Lord. Someone call the PC po-po. I suppose that AARcuda is not descriptive of either the region of the country you live in, or the car you drive. And the last time I checked, breast sizes are measured in...

    Chick Needs Some Help!

    Both MHoffm911 and SteveL make some good points. In today's sketchy mortgage atmosphere, lenders should be pretty flexible, in that they actually have a bit more to lose. Although I think the debt relief referred to typically applies to debts incurred prior to active service, you should still...

    what is the best material to put on walls

    That has a nice industrial look to it. Looks good. Do they sell direct to the consumer? Judging from their site, it looks like you have to be a business to buy from them. Is this correct?

    "The truth about epoxies" Part 1

    Could you give a little more clarification to this? The only ammonia I can think of is usually in some sort of household cleaner. I've heard of baking soda, bicarbonate of soda, soda ash and lime as acid neutralizers, but not ammonia. Is there a ratio of mixture you use? What type of fillers...

    what is the best material to put on walls

    I note on the magnesiacore website that they are an on-line wholesaler. Does this mean they won't sell directly to the general public? And if they do, how does the cost of shipping factor in? Is the magnesiacore heavier or lighter than drywall? And with the size limited to 4'x8', would it...

    Sliding garage door info?

    Greetings, all; I have a large opening in the rear of my garage that I was originally planning on putting a roll-up door in. Since then, I have been considering other options, for both cost and aesthetic reasons. The opening is 9' wide, and approximately 8 1/2' tall. I've thought that a...

    Mohawk USL-6000

    Well, I called Mohawk to ask if this lift was ALI certified, and they said no. But even worse, that unit has been discontinued. You'd think they'd take it off the web site, that being the case. They gave me the number of a place in Colorado that has a couple of them left, but the shipping to...

    Proper introduction

    Hello to all and sundry! I've been a member for a while, and posted a whopping four times already, so I figured if I was going to make a habit of it then I should properly introduce myself. I am in the (excruciatingly slow) process of building a 22' x 48' garage/workspace. Currently...

    Which garage door should I go with?

    Well, I made a bold start to hanging one of the doors, but didn't get very far. For some reason I'm having trouble getting the track to behave like I think it should, per the instructions. I can't figure out whether the vertical track is supposed to be truly vertical, or if it's supposed to...
