    Economical socket sets...also, 3/4" drive?

    I have a reasonable collection of basic hand tools for maintaining my vehicles. Most of my tools are craftsman - got me started with one of the sets with 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive ratchets with pretty complete socket set. It came in the black/red plastic tool box I long grew out of - I just put...

    Miller welder...

    Found a Miller Thunderbolt XL 300/200 AC/DC stick welder on Craigslist at the right price for me. But it seems like Miller discontinued this model and only sells a 225/150 model. Must be a reason they don't offer the 300 anymore? Does anyone know why? Should I run away or take a good deal if it...

    Addition egress...code?

    My detached garage plan has evolved into an L-shaped addition to my house. It would be connected at the rear door of my existing tiny garage. That door into the (approx) 12x15 addition would have a hallway, with a bathroom straight ahead and the (approx) 17x34 garage to the right. The garage...

    Garage plan, major problem...

    Sorry in advance if this gets long. Try to keep it short. I got funds together, and was debating what kind of building, steel vs wood. Turns out I have major site issues, I might not even be able to build at all. First, was going to build out back behind existing tiny one car. Room for approx...
