If it were mine I think I'd want the office at floor level with storage above rather then a crawl space under. Personal opinion tho, you could then extend it to the full width of the shop, or put your compressor up there etc. Looks like it'll be a nice place!

I wouldn't worry about the vacuum cleaner. I've used em before and they make cleaner of saw dust and the like a lot quicker. As far as being unfriendly, it is what it is. Their either gonna show signs of being friendly or their not. We were the new people just about a year ago, and the...

This winter was our first winter at our house, and it felt great to be able to help neighbors dig out from the big storm's. One neighbor repaid me with some gas when the gas stations were all closed/out of gas. I think the a lot of the problem with people of my generation(28 y.o.) manifested...

I've not been impressed with any of the DIY bedliner kits. They just don't lay down that thick. I've sprayed my truck a few times and it scratch's off pretty easy. Your best bet would be to do a DIY spray job as thick as you can and get a rubber mat for the bottom. Respraying the sides as...

Been using an impact to remove and impact with torque sticks to tighten for 10 years, professionally. I've never had a problem. I've checked my torque stick's against a torque wrench and feel confident in their ability to tighten wheels properly. If your wheels are coming loose after...

I just found out my bank card had been compromised when AT&T(which I'm not a customer of) charged my checking account for 246.05. I should be getting all the money back but its still a hassle. I try to keep the balance in my checking account to a minimum for this reason, and it locked up my...

I guess my feeling's on a shovel are a little different. I've had good luck buying new fiberglass handle stuff from home depot. For me its not a once a month purchase so I'm willing to spend a little more and buy new. Even if your talking about a $40 purchase, once every few years is not a...

overkill def depends on where you live. I could leave keys in my car and truck and not worry about it. However, it's never an issue until it's an issue if you know what I mean.

I had bought a CHEAP version of this that was all plastic and snaped together, it allowed you to hook those cleats into multiple spots, and it does not work at all.. I suspect it has something to do with being CHEAP how ever.. lol. I'm getting a bunch of good used 2x6 from my dads house and...

I used one of those roughly 9-10 years ago and it's very hard to change a tire quicker with anything made today. There also a lot simpler, and well built. Just be VERY careful, easy to get hurt, if that tire bar pops off..... A little common sense goes a long way tho, enjoy, I wish I had the...

We just bought over the past summer, and say tell that a nicely finished any part of the house will and can make a huge difference. House A was 1200 sq ft on an open corner lot of .6 acres. showed really well. House B was 1800 sq ft on a private .9 acres but showed very very poorly. Roughly...

You really have to look at what your using it for. If your using it to for small time consuming projects like say building a model car, your gonna want leg room, if your just using it to put a part in a vice and drive a roll pin out, then not it's not very important. I would leave it open for...

oh ok, that works out good then. I have a couple friends that always dreamed of having an apartment over a big garage.

looks great! Out of curiosity are you going to rent out the upper part of the garage? Just wondering because your building a second kitchen. Our house has a second kitchen but it's because the previous owners built an "inlaw apartment" for the original owner. It's almost useless for the most...

The difference is in the electronics. The early flex fuel vehicles used a physical sensor of some sort, the newer ones use whats called a virtual sensor. This virtual sensor is what cause's them to run funny when cold, especially if you switch back and fourth alot, or take short trips, it...

My box and cart are never locked because I work in a small shop with 2 other guys, if i cant trust them i cant trust my dog. We tend to share tools alot also, anything to make the job easier. but anyways, there is a huge difference between tool company's and home depot brand box's. When I...

Most newer cars go up on our lifts just by the pinch weld, unless there rotted. Some cars dont have a pinch weld per say, alot of honda's have reinforced tabs about 4 inch's long, some cars there covered by plastic, some cars have rubber blocks. As long as your jack has a decent plate on it...

You shouldn't have to touch the fuel system because of the egr but, if your looking for a DIY cleaner, sea foam is the way to go. Make sure your vacuum hose's are all intact and make sure all your vacuum switching valves are working. We use a power probe and make sure there working properly...

exactly, they put out decent torque, but your not gonna beat an air impact

my big pry bar is too long, but hangs nicely in the handle on its side. my wrench drawer is full so i have my stubby wrenchs in my cart, along with some other odds and ends
