Hi, I have a GFI outlet in my garage that is in a convenient spot but I'd like to split it using something like a 6 way wall socket. Further, I don't understand why there is a water resistant GFI outlet located in my garage when all of the others are just standard receptacles. Can I just throw...

My teenager is doing HVAC and working on the roof at times. He is finding the roof shingles to be too hot. I don't know much about that besides the welding gloves that I use. Is there a suggested glove type for that? Thanks.

This *could* be an HVAC related question and it could also be one non-related to HVAC depending on my game plan. I am allergic to freaking 14 different things generally revolving around mold, grass, trees, dust, pollen, etc. I take antihistamines ET AL and it is barely controllable. You all...

Hi, I have another thread out there where I am being bitten by flies all the time in my garage. I know that there are other remedies like DEET, pest control, stuff from Tractor Supply and bug zappers with sticky tape etc. I received lots of great ideas there...

Guys, I have a few problems here. The second the temperature rises above about 56 degrees here, the flies come out. Yeah they are annoying black flies. Who cares right? Well I get bitten by the flies. If hear a fly buzzing, there is a 100% chance (and I literally mean it) I will be bitten. So...

I have a few heavy duty extension cords and I am tired of having to throw them on the garage floor in a corner. I am not completely worried about the cost of such holders but 2 things bother me about extension cord holders. 1) My memory isn't great and I get confused easily. I don't want an...

Hi, My 03 VW Jetta TDI developed a musty smell after the previous owner let the sunroof drains leak into the interior. I cannot tell you how many years the leaks went on just that I fixed them. I am no stranger to pulling the carpet on cars but have been warned not to do so on this one due to...

Hi, I just removed the rear spoiler on my 2003 Jetta MKIV as it was falling apart. It was held in place by an exceptional amount of adhesive. I tried plastic razor blades but all they do is NOTHING AND scratch the paint and snap in half. I tried goof off, gasoline (wish I didn't because I...

I have to grind some JB Weld off of a bumper ridge and the clearances are relatively tight. I have a dremel tool but wasn't sure what the right bit for that might be? I'd just try anything but the bumper is rather rare. Any ideas? Thanks.

Long story short, the sunroof drains were plugged up like they are notorious for doing on MK 4 Jettas. I fixed the drains and drain tubes after removing the headliner. I installed fresh drain tubes and they work great. I just have one trouble area. There is an area at the rear of the sunroof...

Hey, I live off of a private gravel road that is getting worse and worse with massive potholes. This gravel road runs through an ingress/egress easement on my property for a distance of about 300 feet by 20 feet. Heavy trucks run through the area. UPS, Fedex, and Amazon go flying through it...

You all helped me with options of putting t-posts into the ground and I thank you for that. So let's start over. I would like to put 400 feet linear feet of fence on each side of my home. What are some options? I hate how t-posts look but I love how they drive into the ground. I wish that...

Hi everyone, I'd just purchased a G12KBN Pulsar Generator because I am losing power more often than I like for longer than I like and I am tired of food going bad etc. My furnace, fireplace, gas range, and my 30k BTU garage heater run off of a 500 gallon in ground LP tank. I had the Gas guy...

I created a similar post earlier on. I am not sure that I got the information that I needed. I am trying to put metal T-posts in the ground. I can only get them about an inch in the ground and they go no further. What an appropriate power tool that I can reasonably purchase to get that t-post...

I'd like something like this with bins: https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200660348_200660348 Something like this is more on track at 72 inches....but the shipping kind of kills it. It just seems pricey for such low height and double shelving is a waste for me. I want it to be...

On my last concrete slab, I had one of these mounted using drop in concrete anchors but after struggling with a few really low profile tires One of the bolts and anchors eventually came loose. The concrete started developing cracks from the force as well. Any suggestions on mounting this thing...

I have lots of rattle cans, plastidip, and home paints. Due to house design and other demographics it makes most sense to store all automotive and household items in the garage. The garage is 792 square feet with 11 foot ceilings. I *assume* that 3 out of four walls are insulated. I know that...

Not garage related today. I am looking for a wood utility shed to be installed on my property. In the past I have used shed liquidators after paying a fair amount more for a similar one at Lowes. The folks came by and were friendly, got the job done, and then left. I have their shed for 12...

Hi, I have two toolboxes and there is dead space above them. I don't want to spend very much but I would like to utilize the area above the toolbox for items like compression gauge, leak down tester, radiator pressure tester, A/C gauges, magnetic tools and grabbers (possibly hammers and...

Hi, I got this kit not too long ago: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-FUEL-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-Hammer-Drill-Impact-Driver-Combo-Kit-2-Tool-W-Free-Drywall-Screw-Gun-2997-22-2866-20/314302629 I notice if I want to do anything with the drill, even things that are not...
