Something to consider before you do any type of paving, whether it's asphalt, concrete or paver units, is the conditions of the ground below the pavement & whether you have water or poor soil conditions creating problems with the pavement. Not enough aggregate base underneath it, like others...

I'd get two, new, garage doors.

When my wife & I first moved into our house in 1989 we didn't have a garage so I rented space for my car but wasn't able to work on it there. We do have a walk-out, daylight basement with the doorway 15 feet from the driveway. It was tough waiting for decent weather to work on a car & drag tools...

If the only issue this neighbor has is the potential damage of a shared driveway it seems that the zoning board may not issue the approval unless you are willing to foot the bill to repair it & promise it in writing. Yeah, it's not quite fair but these boards are very political at times & rules...

You definitely need space between the top of the concrete pad & the door sill, especially if the interior is finished living space. Also, you should support the sill better so when people or objects pass through & step on the aluminum the weight doesn't end up bending it downward creating a gap...

It would probably annoy me enough to remove it & fix it, especially in climates that get snow & ice to avoid ice problems. It does sound like a headache to attempt getting under the drip edge without destroying it. Is the entire gutter under the drip edge? 38' is pretty long. Is there a...

Was in applied when the wood was new?

The "U" shaped stabilizers make a drastic difference & I almost always attach it to on of my ladders. The rubber covers also reduce the chance of the ladder sliding on the surface it touches. One of the scariest sensations is to be at the top of the ladder & it slides left or right, even just 1...

I recently replaced most of the boards on my trailer deck after almost 20 years & now considering a product I had seen in Home Depot once that has a very thick coating when done. I don't recall the name but after looking online I see there are several brands now. This is what looks closest to...

The curb is a good idea to divert the water & keep it from washing onto your neighbor's property but only if there is an existing pitch that can send the water to the street. The curb doesn't need to be hideous concrete like you see in store parking lots, it can be granite, bluestone or some...

Every piece of electronic equipment I've had over the years was always kept away from heat sources & ventilated as best as possible. I've seen TVs mounted over fireplaces & never thought it was a good idea. Maybe I'm over worried about it but anything that generates heat itself shouldn't be...

I have that same hitch & love it. (y)

Now I will be paying attention to the colors on these lights when I see them at flea markets, thrift shops & other places. :ROFLMAO:

Since you plan on building a small shelter to store the generator, why not simply build it so the generator can be kept inside while it runs? Build it out of non combustible & heat resistant materials, vent it, or have a removable panel where the exhaust faces.

Cool to see another old thing being saved, I hate tossing things out. (y) I have the same light, or a very similar one, that I have been saving to use with my drafting table. I don't do any mechanical drawing anymore but plan to set the table up in my second floor room of the garage for my...

I don't blame you at all for wanting to build your own doors, they are not cheap. When I built my garage I ordered 2 wooden overhead doors that are both 16' x 8' for a total of $1800 delivered. Now 25 years later they need to be replaced & I regret not getting steel doors back then. The prices...

It'll be driven, I am not assembling a trailer queen. It's numbers matching, but not in the typical sense of numbers like the motor. In this case the numbers in the price matched the number of dollars I had when I bought it.

LoL :ROFLMAO:

Brackets are a great investment. Here's a photo from my roof on the back half of the house looking down on the two story garage. Using 2 x 10's to stand on made it much easier & safer to work.

LoL... :ROFLMAO: It's actually not drivable yet. :confused: Not sure when I will have it road worthy but hopefully soon. The front end steering has to be installed, the interior needs to be finished with a headliner & the most difficult part is to pull the motor to grind off to replace a...
