Hey all. I'm looking to get some input on renovating a garage. We moved into our house 2.5 years ago. Since then, its become full of tools, landscaping stuff, etc. We plan to get a shed this spring to move all the landscaping stuff into. That will give me some more elbow room to really get the...

Hey all. Figured I'd share this with you guys who are into older tools. My Grandfather passed away several years ago. Since then, I acquired his two bench vises and restored them as shown below. I use them both heavily and I am sure my Grandfather would be proud. Fast forward to this past...

Hey all. Just joined this forum since I just bought my first house. I have a question about cleaning the floor. I have a 1.5 bay garage. The full bay goes the depth of the house. The half bay is full width, half depth. In that area they put 12" x 12" carpet tiles on the floor. Needless to say...
