I need to install heating and cooling in my new man-cave shed. It is 16'x10' with a flat dormer. There are a decent number of windows and the ceiling is vaulted with a peak height of 9.5'. This is going to be my office, clean project area, escape from the family, etc. I'm currently wiring...

My 2004 VW Passat has an A/C issue and rather than send it off to the repair shop, I was was going to take a stab at troubleshooting myself. I suspect that I've either lost pressure in my system, so the A/C won't come on, or I have a bad relay. I see that Harbor Freight carries A/C tools...

I may have some time in the next week to begin getting some wall panels up in a corner of my attached garage where I want to build a workbench with wall cabinets above. First question - is there a best choice considering all the grades of plywood? I was planning on using 1/2". I want to avoid...

Sorry for the length, but I'm trying to get my head around our current electrical situation and come to a good solution for getting service out to a detached 1-car garage/shop and increase service to my attached garage. I have not called anyone yet, but I want to do my homework so that I can...

I see there are a number of threads discussing bench tops but did not see any comparisons so I thought I would ask. I'm hoping to build a new workbench in my garage this winter and weighing my options on what to use for a top. My neighbor uses solid core doors, as seen here -...

I recently discovered the Garage Journal forum and have been lurking for bit. I am finally researching what I need to do to solve the heat problem in my garage. As you can see in the picture, I have a deep, 2 car garage attached to the house. Here are some details: Location - located in...
