So finally decided to have a water line run into the garage. Two reasons, easier to wash the car in the garage and it will be a new access point for that side of the house in lieu of dragging a hose from the front of the house. Here's the area I'm thinking it should go. Are there standards as...

So this is the first time ever laying down flooring.. watched YouTube videos and read tutorials. I didn't come across this situation. The last row ended up being very skinny... like 1.25" to 1.75" as the wall isn't perfectly square. Really too much to cover with molding and quarter round...

So I'm wondering what is the ideal way to store winter/ summer rims/ tires? On end on a rack, or just stacked on the floor? I was thinking this, but I do have space in the garage to just stack them. But I also have a ton of vertical wall space that I could "display" them... Possibly face...

Just picked this up at HD. Good price ($99) and excellent reviews. Bought it for light duty, filling up tires, finish nailer... What kind of adapters, hoses and/ or accessories do I need? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-4-6-Gal-Portable-Electric-Air-Compressor-4610A/205532432

Ok.. so not for the garage, but for my home office. I've never done this before, but it seem easy enough. Just need advice where should I start laying down flooring. The bamboo has been acclimated... about 4 weeks now. Let me know which wall you think I should start with. The part that is...

Looking for suggestions on a good compressor to inflate tires... I don't plan on buying any tools.... Need some direction as I don't want to buy the cheapest one, but certainly not the most expensive.

So I have two exterior lights and the incandescents burned out so I figured it was time to switch to LEDs. The switch is an Intermatic in wall timer. Installed the LEDs and they just lit up (but not 100%). I checked the timer switch and it's in the off position. Then I manually turned on...

Ok, Just replacing old to new switches. I believed it is a single pole switch, but something isn't right. Originally, all the outlets were live and the switch controlled the power to the ceiling fan. Here is the old switch. One black in the screw, one in the push right next to it and the...

So I need basic home improvement tools. Circular saw etc.. Do I go corded or battery powered?

So I'm having my attics insulated with blown in cellulose. Via the garage attic, they are blowing over the conditioned space and would only charge me $500 to blow in the unconditioned space... Is it worth it since they are already there? I don't plan on heating / cooling the space and the...

So I have a brand new Gladiator work bench and debating if I really want to drill in a vise my Uncle gave me. I can say that I really don't need it on a daily basis... but it's a nice thing to have on those very rare occasions. Here is what he gave me... is it a good one? Fuller.

So I'm debating about getting air tools for the garage. I mainly work on detailing the cars, buffing etc... is there any advantage to air tooled vs. plug in electrical? If so, what is the ideal sized compressor?

This is the lone 3 way switched light fixture (just a lone porcelain bulb holder) in the garage. I'd like to turn it into an outlet so I can plug in an LED shop light. I'd also like to add 3 or 4 more outlets through out the ceiling to add more LED lights. In my head, this is a fairly...

So decided to look in the attic space above the garage. Not insulated.. expected that. Found an open junction box.. perfect. I guess the garage back in 69 didn't come with garage door openers. So PO decided to open up a BX wire and splice in romex to tap power for the openers. No box, no...

Garage is 22 x 22 with 12' ceilings. I enjoy detailing the cars and the space will also be used for home improvement projects. What kind of lighting fixtures do you recommend and what kind of layout? I'm going to wire it all myself and would like to spend wisely.

Ok. Here is what I'd like to do, but you tell me if it can be done safely and fairly easily using conduit. Left to Right... Junction box that powers both garage door openers. In the center is the sole lighting fixture and to the right is one of the outlets from the junction box. Lighting: I'd...

So my wife wants me to put up some door guards/ bumpers. What do you guys use? She wants it along the length of her SUV.

Ok.. first year in the house and the weeds are winning.. they can grow anywhere. Can anyone tell me how to deal with all of these growing in my patio?? I'm at a loss. Home remedies would be great as they are cheaper and I have a dog.

To those who have epoxied... what did you paint your transition from epoxy to the outside? Not really sure how to tackle the are to the asphalt... I've seen and been told you don't epoxy the exterior area as it will just yellow.
