    Women who hate garages / shops

    I think most of us involve our kids in our projects...... at least I always do. I also consciously try and make sure that I am not always telling the kids to do the grunt work like sweeping, cleaning, organizing, things like that so that the don't feel like mules in the shop. I want them to...

    RaceDeck Tuffshield or Regular Diamond?

    I think you may have answered your own question! What do you think it will look like in a working garage a little down the road? I looked at the product as well personally but I do not have a "display" garage so I was afraid of spending the bucks and have it look like hell in a short period of time.

    When to apply osb

    I disagree...... As with most things there are one hundred ways to do any job and any one of them is "proper". When we were still framing homes we would presheet in some instances for inability to access after walls were stood and sometimes to ensure square and plumb we would sheet after the...

    How to use Muratic Acid?

    Muriatic acid will not likely remove your stains unless they are shallow enough that the etching process removes the material that they are in. If there is no sealer on the concrete you can use TSP or a good degreaser to remove them with a brush. I have had some success with organic stains on...

    Need a Chainsaw Grinder

    I use the Oregon 511ax right now in the shop but haveused the Efco grinders for years. Anyone saying that a grinder will ruin a chain is flat out wrong. Next time you buy a new quality chain like a Stihl chain take a good look at the factory tooth. It was polished with a grinder before...

    metal shapers, stomp shears?

    No experience with their metal working tools but their woodworking tools and customer service have been excellent. I am not a hobbiest when it comes to woodworking either. I probably put around 10 hours per week on all of my tools from them on average and the newest tool I have from them is...

    best bang for the buck floor epoxy

    I have used Sherwin Williams 2part and it has lasted for 10 years with minimal damage in a busy showroom. I also used the 2 part from Quikcrete in the shop about 2 weeks ago and so far it looks good. I will promise you however, if you do not spend the sweat and time to really really really clean...

    My leaning garage fix

    Before I get started, let me say that I am a GC in Oklahoma and have done the type of project that you are attempting. Without seeing the structure in person it is hard to really give good advice. That being said, If I were planning to tackle the project you are doing with the limited info that...

    What is your tool truck balance?

    Zero for me as well. I always pay cash and I usually get at least 10-15% off from my guy because I do. I buy probably an average of $5000 per year off him. I only buy from the SnapOn man though because the Cornwell and Mac guys in my town snub our shop because we are an outdoor power equipment...

    Got some free stuff today

    Nice score! Your local Snap-on man can send that impact out for a rebuild and it will come in like brand new. I think the last one we sent off cost around $125 to have done.

    how do you store meter leads?

    Ditto..... I use my meter at least 10-15 times a day generally. Hell it doesn't even get put away until the end of the day usually.

    Women who hate garages / shops

    While not an advocate of divorce, I went through one and our situation was a lot like you are describing. I worked hard at work, came home and worked hard on a new house for us. When her car broke I fixed it, when her hair dryer broke, I fixed it so on and so forth all of our 8 years of...
