I've been trying to understand the pro's and con's of these two flat roof coating options but am having a surprisingly difficult time getting details. Searching here has limited info and Google turns up mostly sales pitches (what a surprise :-) ) I currently have old school asphalt/gravel on...

Anybody ever try this? I've had to drill out a bolt that holds the side stand on my FJR, it was corroded in place. Long story short, I drilled a pilot hole of 1/8 inch but it diverged toward the end of the bolt. When I came back with the 11/32 bit, the size for re-tapping the hole, it too...

Here's a shot of a toilet in the shop. No, it's not what you think it it, it appears to be rust or something. This toilet is used very infrequently so I'm suspecting it's from the water just sitting in it for long periods of time. Any suggestions on how to clean it? CLR perhaps? It doesn't...

We just upgraded our cable system to HD so each TV now needs its own decoder box. The CRT TV in the master bathroom used to be in a recess in the upper wall using a GFI receptacle and a coaxial plug. When we had the bathroom remodeled, we put in a flat screen at the same location and covered...

I've just recently finished building a shop extension. We went full subdivision height so we could have a rooftop patio and that left me with a really high inside ceiling. Not quite enough for a two story but high for one story. So I installed a storage mezzanine the length of one wall. This...

I've got a place in Santa Fe, NM, that we get up to every 6-8 weeks or so. It's a regular house in a subdivision with all the usual amneities, not something out in the woods. In-floor heating thruout the house, including the garage (why I'm posting it here). A couple of months ago, we had a...

I've looked at a lot of the "show us your garage" threads and it seems most have the same problem I do, reflection of the florecent lights into the TV screen. The TV is usually up high in the shop for good reason but this also puts it close to the lights. Has anybody figured out how to...

Greetings all, some good info here. Looking to improve my shop, a one car sized structure detached from the main house. Already has water, heat, A/C, compressed air, cable TV, and industrial lighting, tandem roll away tool boxes (one Metric, one Imperial), parts washer and grit blaster, and...
