***01/19/22: My uncle came through this past weekend and took all the decent stuff. Any remaining little items are now being donated*** When my gramps passed I inherited his tools. I kept what I wanted, gave some to my cousins, sold some here about a year ago and still have a box of misc stuff...

After our last fridge went out we traded up to a nicer, but slightly smaller model that fit our small kitchen better. We've now started freezing more foods and are more than out of space. Although I swore I'd never put a fridge in the garage (it's small enough already and I didn't want to lose...

I've used pop rivets on occasion for almost 20yrs now but am realizing I don't know a darn thing about them and before I waste anymore time or money I wanted to see about getting some help from y'all. The Project: I had to fix the fuel door on my Toyota Tacoma which involved removing the door...

I tried asking this previously but don't think I framed my question properly and didn't get any responses despite having asked similar questions previously where I got tons of great responses. Gonna try again... This is a 17'x19' detached garage which was built in 1942. Standard gable roof...

I'm looking into some new organizational solutions for my garage and wanted to use some metal office cabinets along the side wall. These are the type I'm talking about: I know these were meant to rest on the floor but I could gain a lot of usable space if I was able to wall mount them in a...

DELETE. I'm going to rephrase this question and repost so hopefully I can get some help. I've been thinking about vaulting and insulating my ceiling for a while now but hopefully getting closer to being able to make it a reality. I've done a decent amount of research but I'm not a construction...

A few years back I inherited all of my grandfather's tools. For a while in the 80-90's he had a Travel Air biplane and my great grandfather was a pioneering airman who worked at Phillips 66. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about these tools. I made a post here a while back trying to see if...

Vintage Tools - Blue Point, Bonney, Craftsman...etc A few years back I inherited all of my grandfather's tools. I finally went through everything to determine what I'm keeping and am now posing everything else up for sale. Not looking to make a ton of $$ but mainly just hoping these tools go to...

A couple years back I happened across some Armstrong VCT for cheap so I bought enough for my garage but haven't gotten around to installing it yet. I'm looking at a "garage refresh version 3.0" that may happen early next year so was making plans to lay the VCT at that time. Then, today I got an...

Let me preface this post by saying that I know the best thing to do would be to consult an engineer. Please, no need to restate this if that's your only input. I'm simply looking currently to get some general knowledge and direction from GJ members who may have some experience or insight to help...

I'm a complete irrigation novice and I know it's not rocket science but I have a project that won't be easy to alter once complete so I need to get it right the first time. We currently have no irrigation on our property and will eventually hire a company to install new sod and irrigation. When...

As a follow up to my previous post I wanted to get some help with some of my grandfather's tools. I tried to separate the "regular" tools from what may have been aircraft specific. His father was a big part of Phillips 66 in the first half of last century and he was a biplane enthusiast in the...

Well, like the title says, I inherited my grandfather's tools. He was a hardhat diver by trade and biplane pilot by hobby. Long story short, I was hoping to get a little guidance from tool collectors here. This will likely end up being 2 posts - this first one with sort of "normal" tools that...

SOLD Long story but I ended up with a NEW, in box, 12v pump unit for the Quickjack lift systems. I have no use for it and hoped someone here could make good use of it. This could be a spare unit for you - perhaps you bought the 110v and would rather have the 12v or want one of each for...

I've gone long enough now without a vise in my garage and I'm fed up with it! Truth be told, I had an old Wilton 9300N which came with the garage but just sold it since it was damaged beyond what I could repair. I also have a 4" Craftsman vise but it's pretty low quality and it'd be good to jump...

I've done a good amount of reading here and even talked to Scotty at Legacy. I have a front porch which has many layers of paint (home is 75yrs old) which are currently being ground off. Once that's done I want something to keep the dust down since it was just ground down but primarily protect...

SOLD This 1965 Wilton 9300 vise was left in my garage by the previous owner. Despite being dusty and having a little surface rust it looked to be in wonderful condition and I planned on restoring it and using it. When it came time to restore I discovered that part of the swivel base was...

Hoping to get some insight from those with experience with various high temp paints. I recently picked up a cheap metal fireplace on Offerup. I'm pretty sure most of the nicer ones made came originally with a baked on enamel or other durable coating like that. I don't want to go to that...

I'm wondering if anyone out there can fill me in on what the surface is like after using each of these two tools (the ones rented from Home Depot). How rough is the surface when done? Is there circular scarring? I'm trying to decide which one I should rent (or if I should rent both)...

Specifically I'm talking about entry doors, not garage doors. We want to ditch the hideous metal security door on our front door with a retractable screen door (may also put one on the man door of the garage as well). Does anyone have a brand they've had luck with? I keep hearing mixed reviews...
