Good morning! I own a construction company and our main work is interlock and hardscaping. We are growing very quickly and after dealing with tools being disorganized or missing all the time I have decided to look for a tool box that I can have on the job sites. Requirements: Hold most if not...

I’m in the market for a digital angle gauge to step up my baseboard installation and not spend so much time playing the guessing game. I’ve looked on Amazon and they range from $20-60 Canadian and then there’s a jump to $200. Do any of you have any to recommend or to stay away from?

Hi Guys, I'm in the beginning stages of building a custom chandelier. The wife and I went out a few weeks ago to see if we could find a chandelier that we both liked. None really hit the mark, and start at $1000 was obviously ridiculous and way out of budget. We looked at a few and have...

I have fought with these ****** tubes for many years with no real success in getting to the end of the tube before it dries out at the tip and is NFG. Anyone have a secret to keeping it sealed up properly and making it last? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :bowdown:

For those of you that own shipping containers, what have you done for air circulation inside? We have had condensation in the containers for a few years now and it's about time it gets addressed. My idea was a squirrel cage fan mounted through one end of the container hooked up to a solar...

I've been needing to insulate my garage ceiling for the last 6 years that I've lived in my house. I've been heating it all winter with a gas furnace and I'm getting to the point where I've got some time to concentrate on the garage. The ceiling is drywalled from the builder, and I have my...

Not garage related. Working on a basement heat circuit. This is all pre existing. I have 2 20amp 240v circuits 1 feed wire goes into a thermostat, feeds 5 heaters totalling 5500w. Way under powered, I think. From this thermostat, 1 dedicated wire to a heater, 1 to the other 4. Here’s...

A couple of weeks ago I went into the garage and thought, WOW, it's really cold. I looked at the thermostat, set to 60 was reading 40 (40 is the lowest it will read, so it could have been colder). Put the switch to off, then heat again and away I went. Come this Saturday afternoon, same thing...

I’ve been doing tiling for a number of years, but this is definitely a first for me. Layed some tile on Sunday. Everything looked perfect when I left. I spent a fair bit of time to make sure the tiles were perfectly level. I came back today to find 2 of the tiles had lifted about 3/16. WTF...

Hey Guys, Thought I would share a nice little trick that I found yesterday while looking up how to change the oil in my transmission for my Mazda B2300/ Ford Ranger. This could be applied to many different applications. Super slick idea, using a piece of .25 plastic tubing pushed down the...

A good buddy of mine is moving in to a new house Tuesday. I've been put in Charge of getting the garage in ship shape. First order of business is the cement floor. It's got some serious issues which look to me like years of salt corrosion from the cars. The entire garage floor is...

I've been after a few new Channel Lock adjustable wrenches to replace the rubbish HF ones that I purchased a few years ago. I've eyed a few of the wrenches for a few months now and finally today, patience prevailed. The 8" Channel Lock has been $24.99 for as long as I can remember with no...

Hey guys, I have two 8'x7' garage doors that I'm wanting to insulate more. They currently have the manufacturers insulation on them which I can only hope is about R3. I have been going back and forth with exactly what I want to do. I have looked at foam boards, duro-foam (double sided foam...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for months now and have finally decided to come out of the woodwork and show off my current meager garage. I started two years ago with a single car garage that proved to be quite insufficient. At one time, 7 bikes were in it and I couldn't move an inch. Close...
