    air compressor location

    In the garage, in the corner is where mine is. It is loud, but a good IR machine. I guess there are "air silencers" on the intake side that can help with noise. Outside would be nice, no doubt if you can. I have an air auto eject valve on the bottom that kicks the air out every few minutes...

    Drywall vs. Plywood Interior Walls

    I have been a full time firefighter for a long time, and a volunteer before that. Most of the house fires I have been too have started either it the garage, or kitchen. Drywall is a barrier, it can contain a fire in a "box", as opposed to spreading to who knows where. That being said, GOOD ON...

    I am in Puyallup/Edgewood area. I just bought a Stihl at Washington Tractor in Sumner. Cant go wrong with them. A Husqvarna is a close second, but at the fire dept I work at, we work the heck out of them both without problem. Authorized dealers only for Stihl, but Husqvarna you can find at a...

    Maglite........Still USA?

    I work for a fire dept. as a firefighter/paramedic and I was a reserve police officer. I not only want a lot out of a light, I need a lot out of one. Streamlight, Surefire have smoked Maglight in many areas. I like Maglights for multiple reasons, what the owner stands for is one of them. But...

    Flashlights, Streamlight? Mag Light? Snap On?

    I bought a "Blue Point" model ECFB200BL. It is made in the USA, and it has all the feelings of a quality piece by Streamlight, so I am guessing that is who made it. I paid 40 bucks for it from the Snap-On guy, and liked it so much I bought another. One even went through the washing machine...

    garage gun

    12 gauge Winchester Defender secured in a "Shot Lock". Rural area, good cops, but they are minutes away when seconds count. If they are that close. I want it secure due to having 3 kids, and, while i do trust them, they have friends. If you can't hide a Christmas present from a kid, ya cant...

    How do you winterize your pressure washer?

    ****, I am a slacker. I have been draining it, wrapping it in rags and putting it in the shed. It is a rare time in Western Washington (State) that we are in the teens, though it does happen. I add the stuff to the gas for long term storage, and then run it for a few. I have heard it said...

    Look what I bought yesterday - info please

    The numbers will be there. Sometimes with the old ones, it is real hard to see. It took me a while to find mine on an old box I had. I swore it was not there. Good find!

    raccoon in the attic, what to do?

    To some, it would be easier if they were not "cute". Cute or not, they are an expensive rodent if left untreated. I found my elderly neighbors lay out trays of cat food, human table scraps, dried corn on the cob and bird seed. All in a 10 foot by 10 foot area. It is a freaking parade of...

    What's the wierdest thing that's happened in your garage?

    I was helping my dad clean out and prep for sale a home that belonged to some older relatives that had passed away. We were in the garage, and there was a piece of sheetrock on the ceiling that was damaged. So thinking like the volunteer firefighter I was at the time, I pull out a garden hoe...
