This is obviously going to take some time to figure out completely. My current agent is digging into my policy (I'm sure to find I'm not adequately covered). And I took all my vehicles, etc to a local independent agent I know to have him brainstorm and give me some quotes. I went through a...

A little background... I purchased a rental property in town on which I built my garage. The garage is 36 X 44 with a loft, 3/4 bathroom, its heated, cooled, has a lift with three garage doors. The building is for my use only. It is not used by the renters of the house on the same property...

Ok guys, I've read several ideas on creating an air dryer... I've got plenty of wall space to build something but I'm not certain what to do. I've got LOTS of salvaged half inch black pipe to make something but I wonder if will restrict air flow. Your ideas and pics would really help me out...

Hey Curt, I'm very impressed with your photography. Can you help us out and post what type of camera, etc you use? I know it has more to do with your skill and knowledge of your equipmet... but I'd love to know what you use to get that quality. Thanks!

Anyone out there have an anvil they'd like to pass on??? I'd like to find one, something to use while fabricating would be wonderful!

Ok, I'm going to be asking for a flood of information but I need everyones help. I'm looking for a new welder... I have a stick welder and a small MIG.... Lincoln 140 I beleive. Anyway, I'd like to step up to something that can MIG and TIG, I know nothing about welding aluminum but I'd like...

I have one.... I also use it for the big stuff, dirty stuff, etc.

Hello everyone! We're currently in BLIZZARD conditions so I'm sitting where its warm catching up on the site. Today I spent a bit of time in the shop servicing vehicles, cleaning up a bit, and started hanging the doors... finish work isn't my thing so I've been dragging my feet a bit. Its...

Congrats! You'll be happy with your lift.

I have the same issue with mine... I put 11 fixtures in and a couple of them buzz. Mine didn't come from a box store, I purchased through my electrician. I haven't looked into it yet but if anyone has any specifics to look into I'd appreciate the information too. Probably ask him to look at...

I have the same saw and purchased the portable stand for it as well... The saw helped me build my garage and I've had no problems with it at all. Highly recommended!

I have used Uponor (Wirsbo) PEX on several of my home and in my new shop exclusively. There are less expensive systems out there but since I have had such good luck I use Uponor and their fittings. Not to mention its a fairly local Minnesota company!

Got my mill and lathe set in place this week.... it involved a forklift, some lengths of 3/4" pipe, a couple bars, and lots of cussing! Glad thats done... now to start finish work...

Wow you guys did nice work! I also used Armstrong tiles special ordered the colors we wanted through my local Menards. Mine still is wating for strip and wax...

I just installed a Mohawk System 1 I got used.

Has been a while since I posted... busy times here in Iowa. A buddy and I finished the VCT in the loft where the hottub will be... just have to strip and wax it. Then on to trimming out the space. Had the lift installed properly... man is that nice to work with! Last weekend I went on a...

Sorry for your loss... those friends are at times the hardest to get past. Take care of yourself.

Very sorry to hear of your great loss. I think many of us guys who tinker in the garage are very close to the man who brought about those mechanical interests. I'm sure you feel the same as I.... the man forgot more than I'll ever know. Keep your family close, in the end they are all who will...

I caulked all the seams with a paintable latex caulk first. Then I sealed with a good quality Sherwin Williams sealer/primer. Then one top coat of white satin interior paint. There were a few spots where the OSB bubbled out where I'll have to go back, peal it off and re-coat but overall I'm...

Got the sheetrock done & painted, the epoxy floor is done, the spiral stair installed, and the 2-post set inside the building. No, it hasn't been bolted down yet so thats why its "wider" than one would expect. I placed some of my toys inside after the floor cured to get them out of other...
