I know it is the garage forum but the pool of knowledge is sooooo high here that I will just ask it here. I have dogs that go nuts and wreck the hard wood floor with their nails. We trim their nails etc but that only goes so far. Is there anything that I can do which (hopefully) does not...

I have a 30000 BTU vent free propane heater that I run in my garage during the winter. It takes a good while to heat up the 36x22x11 garage only to have a family member remotely open the door with the garage door opener and lose lots of heat. I usually warn the family that I am working on a...

Hi, As I practice my flux core welding, I would like to practice on square tubes and solid flats. I notice that when I check big box stores like Lowes for example it will say weldable in the description and sometimes it won't. My question is whether or not they are all weldable or do I...

Hello, The concrete in my garage has suffered from what I assume to be effervescence. I believe that I posted about that years ago. So while we bare with constant white powder on our wood floors and hunt for time to mitigate the issue, we use the leaf blower and sweep to get the powder up...

As cars get older, the bolts are naturally rustier and rustier. It always starts out with the advice of use PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, Kroil etc. and let it soak for a day. I patiently do that but one bolt always gets stuck to the degree where you need the torch...and the torch is naturally...
