I'm about a month away from finally having the time to build my new workbench. It wont be anything too crazy, 2x6 construction, 4x4 or 6x6 legs and butcher block top most likely and 6-8ft long. I was just curious if anyone who has put their workbench on wheels/casters have any drawbacks? To...

We are looking to finish the basement in our new house and i'm a little unsure what route to take for insulation. As you can see in the picture, they insulated everything above ground level. Currently, the temperature is fine down there, probably in mid 60's when it's been -10 outside and that...

We are putting our house up for sale shortly and will be looking for a new home that has some land to it. Im curious what the ball park cost would be for having some land cleared. 1 home I like is on about 2 acres, but 1 of them is heavily wooded. I'd like to remove the majority of the...

Here is the deal. I have a fenced in back yard and a deck that has some grime on them and grayed from weathering. I want to power wash them and then spray, roll or brush on a stain to protect the wood and give it a better appearance. My question is, is there any harm in power washing in...

Hi All, Hoping someone can point out my blunder. I would say I have an understanding of electricity, but fairly basic. I wired our entire addition, can add ligts, switches...the basics. So I didn't think it would be much to tackle the wiring for my Mr. Cool DIY minisplit. I have never...

Hey Guys, I was going to purchase my Mr. Cool DIY mini split today and noticed the unit I was planning on is now on backorder. It was the 24k BTU 16 seer model. http://ingramswaterandair.com/mrcool-seer-ductless-minisplit-heat-pump-wifi-p-25429.html But, then I saw they have another 24k BTU...

So this isn't for a garage exactly, but essentially the same. I'm thinking about going with the DIY Mr.Cool system, but my only concern is for the extra rooms inside of my main room. Basically it's a big open space 28x25 with a bathroom 17x9 and closet 11x9 inside that large room. I will be...

Hey Guys, I'm going to be putting up new wood siding to match the existing house and looking for some tips for doing this solo if anyone has some. I wish there was space to utilize a scissor lift, but that wont work in my situation. Im trying to find either pine or cedar that has a rabbeted...

Hey Guys. I have a lot of projects I need to tackle this summer and I have a great pair of Red Wing boots, but i'm trying to find a pair of socks that work well, but aren't to hot. Any suggestions? Thanks

Not exactly my garage, but I know you guys have a lot of knowledge. I'm converting my attic space from just storage to livable space. Step 1 for this is sistering the current existing 2x6 joists. To do that I needed to remove the T&G subfloor that was down and then the blown-in insulation...

Hi All, Not so much for my garage, but still figured a lot of members here would have solid ideas. So i'm putting an addition on my house. I'm turning the attic into a master retreat and to do so I need to sister the current existing 2x6's with 2x8's. Not that big of a deal other than the...
