So this has always bugged me. I have pallet racking in my garage to store stuff up high. The racks meet in the corner, so it makes the corner not as useable as if the one upright wasn’t there. Thought about cutting the upright and somehow welding it to the other rack. Maybe just cut the...

Any company sell sets of more common sizes? I just hate heading to the hardware store all the time. Wish I bought more when OSH closed.

I have my office in my garage, and we had a register and return installed in it so it would have HVAC off our main unit. It has dampers installed on both ducts that open up from a thermostat inside the office. I find it does not warm or cool the office efficiently as the temperature is so...

What is the correct way do do this? 240v to 120v. Subpanel? I have a 40A 240v (4 wire) circuit in my garage that I rarely use. I would use it more as a 120v more often. If i just wire an outlet to one hot side, i believe i need to change the breaker to a 20A. I may still want to use the...
