    Need a sign when the garage door is open-

    MyQ (Chamberlain, Lift master) will alert you. I get a push notification every time my doors open and then another one if they remain open for more than 15 minutes. I have it built into my openers, but they also sell an add on. https://www.myq.com/smart-garage-control/p/MYQ-G0401-ESMC

    Tongue and groove subfloor install - which side against the starting wall?

    I cut off the tongue and start with that, that way I can use a 2x4 and a sledge on the groove side to hammer the next piece in.

    Antenna mast

    Do you have to be above the roof? I ended up putting my antenna in my attic as high as I could get it and have not had any troubles. This is the antenna I went with: https://a.co/d/dYDXqn1 might be worth a try, if it doesn't work you can move it outside.

    What’s the point of “impact” extensions in common drive sizes?

    They do make safety glasses with readers. I recently bought a DeWalt pair (DPG59) with bifocal readers but there are also full reading safety glasses available.

    The Shop Notebook

    I started using the bullet journal method a couple years ago. I always wanted to have a journal but never could really get into it until I discovered bullet journaling. Mine is mostly to do lists and some documentation of things around the house. I am currently using an Exceed dotted journal...

    Chinese Diesel Heater

    Absolutely, on the outside I can touch the part of the fitting that contacts the wall and it only feels warm, not hot after running for awhile.

    Chinese Diesel Heater

    Yep that's right. From the inside I used a 3"hole saw to cut through the drywall and insulation and then on the outside I cut a hole through the siding that matched the gasket/plate that sandwiches the siding. I only have 3/4" thick dutch lap siding, no sheathing underneath (it's an old garage).

    Chinese Diesel Heater

    The fitting you see in the wall is the back of the fitting I linked to in post 5, although it looks like they are out of the straight through fittings and are just selling the angled one right now. You can get any of the others listed on Amazon, I suspect they are all made by the same place...

    Chinese Diesel Heater

    Here is how I have mounted. My walls are 2x4 with fiberglass insulation and 5/8" drywall. I just moved it to this location so the hole is open, but normally I have a piece of 3" round duct inserted and then I stuff it with rockwool and have not had a problem. Edit: attached photo

    Chinese Diesel Heater

    I have a diesel heater in my detached garage (20x24) since last year. I'm running it out through one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRPQR7DQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I'm really happy with the heat it puts out. I may add a second one to get it really warm, but otherwise I am able to work...

    If you don't have a three plane green laser level yet, now may be the time.

    FYI, the pink laser level is back in stock for $39.99 and then there is a $10 coupon that brings it down to $29.99.
