My master bedroom is far away from the furnace, gotta be at least 80' of duct work. And 50' of that is in my basement. I get airflow, not the greatest, but not terrible. The air isn't nearly as hot as the air in my main floor bathroom (shortest run from the furnace). I was thinking if I used...

Been looking at adding some tool organization, and thinking a peg board would be a nice touch. Most of my mechanic tools are in my rolling tool box, but everything else, like screw drivers, and random tools, always seem to just be around, but never where I can actually find them when I need...

I'm finishing my basement right now and thinking I should do something to dampen the sound, not necessarily sound proof though. For the stairs from the upper level would filling the back of the stairs with fiberglass insulation before I put drywall up help keep the sound down from people...

So I built a little bench with a enclosed storage for my ammo in it. Used a 120V Mig with 75/25 gas and 0.030 solid wire. All the steel is 1/8 except the top plate, it is 1/4. I watched some YouTube videos to learn. Just looking for a little advice. This is the completed bench, it's 2x2...

For the last two weeks I have been trying to find a company that will come out and rip up my mothers driveway, it's 11' wide for 200' and then over 100' kinda opens up to 46' wide at the garage in the back. It's a LOT of concrete. Originally poured 21 years ago the mesh sunk to the bottom, not...

I remember seeing a thread with a couple of coatings that you can put on bare steel to protect it from rusting and not have it leave a film that would transfer to anything you put on the metal after. But for the life of me I can not find that thread.

I got a nice steel bench from work today that has been outside for a few weeks. It's all 2x2 steel tube and a 1/4" steel top, really sturdy. I've been getting all the rust off the legs and supports and priming them for now. But will be doing the top now and I am not sure if I should just be...

I have a mastercraft impact, 1/2", and for the most part it is great, and advertises 460 ft lbs. But working on my Jeep I have had a few bolts that my impact just wouldn't budge. And using a 2' breaker bar I can spin these bolts, but it takes a fair amount of effort for my 150lbs. Is my impact...

So this isn't in my garage, but not sure where or who else to ask. My main floor has a really nice tile and hardwood floors. But the grout is kinda coming out in a few places, seems basically a 10' radius from where my washer and dryer are. The house is only 2 years old, and fairly high end...

I'm looking for some nice simple lighting for the driveway/walkway to my door, it's not a long distance, maybe 50'. But I don't want solar lights, living in the city they just aren't bright enough to do anything and never seem to survive being covered in snow over the winter. I wouldn't mind...

The leading edge of my driveway is starting to crumble. And I am getting spalling where my door seal is. I "fixed" it last year around this time with some stuff at lowes that I can't remember, but I can't even tell where it was now. So much for it saying it didn't need any top coating...

Right now my workbench is not bad. But with my new truck it's just in the way a bit. I want to be able to move the bench for the odd days I bring my truck into the garage, right now it fits, but only by an inch or two. I'm drawn between making it out of steel (or strut) and wood, but making it...

Prepping my garage for paint this week, but can't come up with a color. I want nice and clean looking, but not sterile like white. I'm also getting cabinet doors that are glossy white (I think, maybe red). How do you come up with the hot looking colors I see in so many pictures?

I'm an electrician, and working in the field, sun, rain, snow. And my tools sometimes get wet, sometimes my whole bag gets wet. I'm finding my tools starting to show signs of rust, more so on the less used tools. Is there a wipe or spray I can use that will still allow me to use the tool...

I love my new air grinder, but does anyone make a wire wheel for it that doesn't just come apart after 20 minutes? Same with like sanding disks. I'm trying to fix some rust spots on my jeep and while the tool is amazing, the attachments ****.

I bought a couple mastercraft air tools, and love the airtools. But my little portable dewalt compressor is not nearly close to good enough for air tools it seems. The tools seem to have a rating, and the highest rating I want is a SCFM of 4 @ 90psi, for a spray gun. I have no idea what that...

Started spring cleaning the garage and I can't seem to figure out what to do with all the screws, bolts, washers, lock washer, nails, etc that I have. Is the only option those cheapo plastic bin things? How do you deal with the dust and stuff that just fills them over time? And while I am...

My garage is about year old. It's heated. And myself and my gf are in and out of it a couple times a day with our cars. Between all the melt and whatever else this is what I have now that spring is here. This is the worst spot, it's not quite 9" long. You can kind of see come chipping or...

With winter, comes an always wet garage. And it is slopped for the most part to the door, but it hits the seal on the bottom, makes a little ice ridge and then floods to the corners of my garage. How possible is making a 6" wide pit or something 10" in from the door? Can I make it drain in the...

I have a 24x24 garage, 12' ceilings. Fully insulated. I'm in Canada, there are weeks where it is -40. What is a compact heater? I was looking at a few and they seem just huge. A larger one wouldn't be as bad if I could put it on the opposite side that I want to vent it from. And is there...
