A paintbrush or paint roller. I don't mind painting something as long as I can spray it. Thank god my girlfriend likes to paint, she is now the designated painter. I'm good at it, I just don't have the patience. Another is the post-hole digger. Seriously?! A powered auger is worth the money...

I use the craftsman magnetic trays for the sockets I use most (all my metric sockets 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive). I use the metal clip ones for the sockets I don't use often (Standard).

I used the 3/4" foam board (with one shiny side) on my 16' door with no problems. 3 pieces per "panel" fit perfectly. Also, if you cut them right, you don't need to use glue. I cut mine the height of the opening and bent them to slide them under the lips, then when they straightened out, they...

Just in the last few weeks I've bought: -Oscillating Multi-tool ($19 with coupon) I Plan on using it to undercut the door jambs when I lay the hardwood floors in my house in a few weeks. If it breaks...oh well. It's only $19 and I have a hand undercut saw as a backup. -Set of 4 chisels (these...

Drywall is cheaper than plywood. A 4x8 sheet of 1/2" drywall is about 6.99, a 4x8 sheet of 1/2" ply is about twice that. 4x8 OSB is similar in price to drywall however.

I have a Dewalt 12" sliding compound miter saw. It works great for cross cutting boards up to 16". For anything bigger I use my table saw to cross cut or I use a circular saw with a square and a makeshift fence. I also have the stand with mine too and I absolutely love it. I got it for free as...

Love the garage and house! I like the L shaped idea. Will you be parking vehicles in the back or using that as a work area? One concern though...Why is your drywall hung vertically? Drywall should typically be hung horizontally for strength to prevent seams popping.
