I'm kind of a n00b when it comes to the stogies but I've enjoyed a few different ones from Acid. Scotch, I can take or leave. I'll certainly sip on it when provided but don't purchase it to keep on hand. Bourbon and rye are my tasty treats. A glass of Makers Mark is a wonderful thing. Been...

upon finding this site several months ago, I (naturally) have been spending a bit more time in my garage. Built some storage and some workbenches and have done a fair bit of cleaning up (rather throwing stuff out - it is still a mess). I finished my winter project in the house and decided to...

just what I needed to see right before supper :lol: I'm guilty of wearing them more than I should when I'm working out in the garage, but I'm going to rethink that now. here's hoping for a quick recovery :beer:

I wonder how much smoke ran from John Menard's ears when Tony Stewart left his IRL team, went to NASCAR, and had Home Depot slapped on the side of his car for 10 years :lol:

go eat corned beef & cabbage and drink irish beers at the nearby catholic church :beer2: and if I'm not too tuned in after that, I'll probably lay the last of the tile in my dining room. Got that cut last night.

I'm an SE... but I'm halfway across the US and not licensed in PA :lol: there are a few around here that work out of their houses, so it should not be an issue if you call the house. Those are the ones that do a fair amount of the residential work here. In my early days as a steel detailer, I...

to clarify - by track, I meant the one on the opener itself, that the guide slides on. Agreed, you do not lube the track the rollers roll in.

I purchased a kit that included grease for the track, and silicone spray lubricant for the rollers and hinges, etc, and some other stuff I can't remember. I've done it a couple times in the past 5 years. If you have a chain drive, you might want to check the slack and adjust if necessary. That...

my whole house :lol: but honestly... I painted my house in the summer of 2007 - except for the chimney. Now two summers have past and a 3rd is approaching, and it's still not the same color as the rest of the house. It needed some repairs, which I did in 2008, but the painting still did not get...

I just got some paint from S-W the other day that's primarily for trim or cabinets. It's self-leveling, so the brush strokes should go away once you've applied it. It seemed to work okay so far, but I think it would have been easier to apply if it was more humid. ProClassic is the product line...

+1 on working it too much. Either that or they waited too long to finish it and they gave it a spray of water in an effort to get the surface workable again. Regardless, water was the issue.

+1... except mine hasn't driven in over 4.

I snagged an old, never-used storm door from my dad to put on the back door of the garage. Sometimes I have the garage door and the back door open for when I have people over so that they can come straight into the back yard without going through the house, and occasionally they bring their dogs...

framing nailer. but I do have fun with the sawzall and the fat max crowbar...

standard ASTM A615 rebar is not weldable (it is, but the weld quality is poor and therefore prohibited), but ASTM A706 rebar is. The only welding on reinforcing I see or spec is for embed plates in concrete. We don't do anything special enough with concrete to warrant it otherwise. I have seen...

I've never checked what temp was comfortable, but with the kerosene heater I have, it's really only useful if it's 20F or higher. It never made it above 8 today so things will wait one more day til it can hit almost 30. I'd imagine 45F is probably about what it was the last time I worked out...

:bowdown: can you send 33 of those degrees to Nebraska? We'd both be at 41, which would be perfectly acceptable for me to work in! 8 degrees pretty much *****, and what's worse, that's the warmest it's been here for a week.

we just got home from picking out tile samples for the dining room/kitchen and paint samples for the bathroom. It's still too cold to hang out in the garage, even with the heater cranked :( so it may be just about time to go enjoy some :beer: and try to hide from the gf who's suffering from...

From the picture, it looks like the tubing is laying directly on the insulation, correct? I could see there being an issue if your system is under the entire thickness of the garage slab. I'm pretty sure when the contractor did my dad's slab and hydronics, he placed the reinforcing, set it on...

Merry Christmas! I'm snowed in at home with my girlfriend. Too crappy to get to either her family or mine, both within 2 hours of here. In anticipation of this, I bought some lumber to build some new shelves and whatnot in the garage. I have some heat, I have materials, I have tools... and 4...
