Hi, I was curious, would 12 feet be wide enough for a car if I were adding onto a garage? It would not be used for working, just parking. Thanks, Rich

Hi, I had a new roof put on in the fall & I stopped at grainger to get a new roof vent fan. Anyway, since its getting warmer & today is a cool day, I figured I would plug in the electrical. I popped off two covers that i was going to tie into & I cant quite figure if these are the ground...

Hi, The bottom part of my driveway is not looking too good these days. It frustrates me each time I drive up about how ****** the driveway looks. I am having a problem specifically with the bottom 200 feet (by 12 wide). It is pretty steep so pitch isn’t a problem in terms of water sitting on...

Hi, In my last house, a buddy got me a piece of pipe insulation to put around the support beams in the garage. I lost touch with him & went to the local plumbing supply house & they said they dont carry anything larger than 2 inch insulation. The one I had before had some tape to stick the...

Hi, I am attempting to make a 'shed' under my deck for more storage. I have the lattice panels up & I was looking to attach some clear Acrylic - plexiglass to keep most of the rain/weather out of it. I cant seem to find it at lowes or HD. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Rich

Hi, So in my last house, I had a deck. I ended up digging out under it, then using lattice panel to make a sort of shed under the deck. It was really parking for my 5x10 utility trailer, kids toys in the winter, my ladder, etc. Since I moved I dont have a good shot of the opening, but you will...

Hi, I somehow found Shedsunlimited.com on GJ (though I cant find where I saw the link) & they have very reasonable prices for a 12x14 shed. I am really looking for something to store my quad & the kids yard toys. I saw one that looked nice for around 2k but when I called the shipping is $900...

Hi, I keep thinking I need some sort of bolt/nut bin. I seem to have loads of shelving on casters & was thinking that i need either something that has wheels, or something that could be bolted to wire shelving. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks, Rich

Hi, I was thinking about getting my house plans & survey laminated. Is there somewhere online that would do this reasonably? Anyone out there with experience? I dont really want to go to kinkos. I think it would be cool to have the building plans & the survey laminated & put in the garage...

Hi, I am in the process of fixing up the garage. I was going to have a friend build me some shelves. In the meantime we did some work to the workbench (about 16 feet long). I was planning on adding another 8' to it just because I had room & he seemed to like my u-line chrome wire shelf with...

Hi, I am looking to access storage above the garage. There is currently a staircase there that is pretty new. Unfortunately it is a 21.5" opening and I cant get any larger things up because its too darn small. Is 30" to large? This is the one I am looking at...

Hi, I have been kicking around the idea of expoying my floors - well hiring someone to do it for me. I am in NY & am not really sure what a 'fair' price would be? I assume its by the square foot. When doing this, I have a workbench, does that all need to come out? My garage for the house...

Hi, I think I am about to buy this: http://www.costco.com/SafeRacks-4'x8'-Overhead-Garage-Storage-Rack-Ceiling-Drop-Range-12%22-21%22.product.100006897.html#BVRRWidgetID It might be nice ceiling storage. Before i do it, is there anyone that has experience or comments? Thanks, Rich

Hi, So I have been looking around for shelving for my garages. I have a ton of wall space & was thinking that 18" deep shelves would be a good size. I think that 24" deep is a bit too deep. I need a bunch of different sizes, 5 foot, 4 foot, etc. I bought an inexpensive home depot 3'x18"x7...

Hi, I was looking for a ATV cart - which they did have. While I was looking around I saw they had a garage in a box. I have a 5x10 utility trailer, as well as now an ATV cart. I also have a Willys which I am going to get rid of shortly but I am looking to store the trailers somewhere so they...

Hi, I inherited a 18" x 1 "long strip of pretty strong magnet that is bolted to the wooden workbench. It is pretty handy for putting screwdrivers, and other tools while I am working. Is there something on Grainger or somewhere else that would have it? I stopped at Home Depot but they did...

Hi, I picked up a cabinet, it is an Ikea one & is 47.25" wide. The space I am trying to stick it into is 47" wide. Is there a way for me to shave down a 16" deep by 31" tall part of a wall to try to fit this cabinet in my garage? I would be more comfortable altering whats there vs putting...

Hi, I am having issues getting my garage organized & started looking into getting 'professional' help to come up with some sort of system. Do you guys think its worthwhile or a waste of money? I seem to keep piling **** on top of ****. Thanks, Rich

Hi, The house I bought came with a Modine 50,000 btu heater. There is a thermostat on the other side of the garage & it looks about as old as the heater. My propane guy came out when I bought the house, turned on the pilot light and showed me that it all worked. He shut it down for the...
