    angle grinder 4.5 - 5 inch

    I've always used Masterccraft 4.5" grinders.. You can't go wrong with a lifetime warranty, although I'm sure other brands have the same incentives as well. Not to mention that when they're on sale for 25$ it's hard to walk by and not take notice. I've broke one in the last number of years (...

    Good base material under asphalt?

    Had mine redone 2 years ago now, I did the excavation and let the asphalt crew drop the aggregate and set it to grade. 4" of crusher run and 4" of HL3 asphalt.. that's a mix of residential and highway grade. 2 winters later and I have standing water in my driveway again and I'm beyond pissed...

    Storage of Misc Home Improvement Materials

    For smaller wood or steel scraps I was able to con the recycling truck driver to drop off 2 new black boxes one day, they're roughly 24"T x 18"L x 16"W I use them to hold all of my trim and smaller cut 2x2, 2x4, 2x3's etc up to 4' in length without falling over. It definitely keeps the odds and...

    Tonka Garage ( picture heavy)

    Here's a little something I recently did in the garage!. I had some free time last weekend, so I went to use my bbq to fix some lunch only to see that the wind storm from the night before had knocked it over and heavily damaged it!. After jumping on Kijiji to look for parts to hopefully cobble...

    Storage of Misc Home Improvement Materials

    I've been here already and solved the majority of my problems similar to the ones you are having. Firstly, any damaged or worn item's that you likely won't use again, toss them. Any parts or pieces from previous jobs that would now be too small to use for another actual job, throw them out. It's...

    What's the deal with putting in metal (galvanized?) ceilings

    Doesn't bother mine a single bit... Wi-Fi works excellent as well without a booster, however I did add one simply to extend the range for when I'm out doing yard work or at the neighbours for beers :thumbup:

    Under cabinet counter top lighting

    I have a set of Newage cabinets as well, with a total work space of 104'' in length. I know that Newage has under cabinet lights as I've heard that they actually included them in a couple of peoples orders for free. I do know that they are a ''puck'' style light daisy chained together with a...

    Security Cameras

    Oh great.. wasted money?.. I know absolutely nothing about that stuff and I'm not a tech guy by any means. The people I talked to who had them thought they were really great, I've seen a few systems that were complete junk as far as visual quality goes.. these were really crisp and clear both...

    Security Cameras

    Recently purchased this for my home after a number of thefts in the area.. one key incident left a man dead after he was confronted by the home owner while stealing a truck and shot. ( here in Canada you can't protect anything you own) :dunno: So this is my next best alternative.. 4 Foscam...

    Drill Bit Storage drawer organizer / Divider

    Awesome job! I really like that idea, all neatly labelled too. I just bought this cheapy from Wal-Mart, might have set me back $4 max... I have a main shop in the garage where most of the power tools etc are and another smaller one in my basement so I split the common sizes of drill bits...

    What thickness galvanized steel for a ceiling?

    Thanks James!, I think it helps break up the white of the steel just enough... I like keeping the country feel out there as well. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

    What thickness galvanized steel for a ceiling?

    I purchased mine from Vicwest as well, I went with 0.030" and have a very similar profile as the first picture for my ceiling.. I also have steel with a similar profile to the second picture but with a little more width on the peaks as wainscoting roughly 4' high around the base of the garage...

    NewAge Cabinet Locks... All Different

    That's odd.. all mine are keyed the same in my set.. I'd definitely call Newage and see if they can send you new tumblers that are all keyed alike.. The have great customer service from my experiences in the past, I'm sure they will be able to help you out!. BTW that setup looks really great in...

    NewAge Garage Cabinets - 18 Gauge vs. 24 Gauge

    I was looking at the 10pc set when I first was interested in buying a set.. Mind you this all depends on your needs!. Personally I changed my mind after ordering the 10pc set, I cancelled that and went with the 12pc instead. There was almost a $400 difference between the two, BUT with the...

    Vinyl/PVC baseboard and slanted floor???

    I had a very similar problem with my one wall.. except mine was more like 1 1/2 inch of a parturition at the worst spot, and it tapered off to almost flush with the drywall like yours at either end of the garage.. Same side of the door as well!. I put up steel wainscoting over the old drywall...

    What's the deal with putting in metal (galvanized?) ceilings

    Mine has the ceiling done along with some wainscoting.. Personally I didn't want the whole thing white, so breaking it up with the pine really shows it off well. The amount of light that reflects is excellent, literally no shadows when your doing work inside. As mentioned numerous times above...
