Hey guys, I recently purchased my first big toolbox (costco CSPS). So, I have been cleaning out my smaller old boxes and trying to be realistic about which tools I may not need. When my grandfather passed, I was gifted some of his trusty tools. He was an electrician at Motorolla for many years...

Hey guys, I recently purchased my first big toolbox (costco CSPS). So, I have been cleaning out my smaller old boxes and trying to be realistic about which tools I may not need. When my grandfather passed, I was gifted some of his trusty tools. He was an electrician at Motorolla for many years...

Working backwards like that seems like a really smart way to go about it. Looks like I have some homework to do! Can I just lag the header to the framing studs? Would something like this be strong enough? If so, that would be great news because it wouldn't restrict the height at which I can...

Those are a neat idea, but I dont know if I could make them work with our flat foam roof. The parapet walls on the roof are a few feet tall, so these would have to get up high enough to clear the parapets... making the patio cover extremely tall. But who knows, that could be my only option, so I...

Thanks for the response! I looked through the PDF's you attached and they don't really cover the questions that I have. Here is a photo of our house now: As you can see we have a stucco home with flat roof and parapets. The house is only 1500sq ft and my wife is due with twins in April. I am...

Just an honest question... I am considering trying to build a new patio and patio cover, is it okay to seek advice for a project like this on GJ? If not, pretend this never happened :lol_hitti

You have some killer photos from your garage build. The inside is super clean. We have the same style home with flat roof and parapets. I have been trying to decide if I should build the shop to match the home like you did. It looks super nice that way, I just don't know if I can really afford...

Hey guys, I have been an on-looker to this forum for quite some time now, but I have a garage build in mind and I thought I should introduce myself in hopes of getting some wisdom from all of you DIY pros. My wife and I live on 1 acre in Cave Creek Arizona and she is pregnant with our first...

Bill, I have attached a photo of the house. Its a flat, foam roof. The shed will be located out of sight and off to the right based on the image attached. I have a pad of about 35x40 ft prepared over there for this shed, my little 5x10 trailer and my horse shoe pit :)

I hear ya on going bigger, but this is somewhat of a test build. Our property is about an acre and I plan to build a bigger workshop at some point. I don't want this to get too big, because I may move it in the future. I think it will be a good learning experience for building the bigger shop...

Hey guys, My wife and I bought our first home a couple years ago and we have run out of space in the garage. I'd like to build a 10x12 shed on the property to help free up some space and also give me a place to work on things with a bench and so forth. I have been working on the drawings for...

Here are the wrenches that I don't really have a use for.. Dave Proto wrenches JET wrenches MAC Wrenches

I wish I could hold onto everything, I just dont have the space unfortunately.

I cleaned out the writing on the 2 curved wrenches.. looks like they are Snap On cylinder head wrenches. They are definitely factory... not bent. Kinda fun looking at some of these things! Dave

I recently bought my first home which prompted me to buy a small rolling toolbox (which I posted about last week). I have a box of random tools from when my grandfather passed away a few years ago.. and I am trying to clean out the stuff I can't imagine myself using. I know what some of these...

So here it is after a deep cleaning. The paint is in rough shape, but the box functions great. Going to pick up some foam tomorrow and cut some liners.

I will give this a try! I'm excited to see how it looks all cleaned up.

I'm 30 and i've never owned anything other than a plastic tool box... So, I've been looking for a quality rolling box for my garage, as I have accumulated plenty of tools over the years. I've been looking at everything from 2k Snap On boxes to $400 Harbor Freight boxes. However, I saw this thing...

I went to a pawn shop and found an entry level snap on box for 2k... played with the drawers a bit and checked it over.. then went to harbor freight and looked at the 44" box of theirs.. The HF 44 seems just as adequate to me as the SO box... I'm sure there are hidden subtleties that are of...

So basically, I may as well just go get the Harbor Freight 44 new for $400?
