I'm looking for shelving ideas for the space above the windows. It's about 24" to the ceiling & I've got 28' to fill. I could possibly carry some of the weight from the rafter about 18" out from the wall, maybe with chains? Not wanting prefabbed. Hoping for a few pictures to stir up some ideas...

I built a shop a few years ago, there's a build thread on the forum, https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=305094 , but I've been busy ever since. It's about 1000sq/ft, with about 1000 feet of oxygen barrier PEX in the floor. 1 zone with 4 loops. Fully insulated, including the...

I just had a new Quincy compressor delivered and I'm planning my installation. There's an ON/OFF switch as part of the pressure switch, and it'll be on a breaker 30 feet away. I'm trying to decide if I should have a disconnect at the wall. All my electric is in 3/4" EMT. Waddaya think?

I'm looking for a pics and details of radiant in-floor temperature sensors. I'm trying to narrow down my choices of mini-boilers. Some require sensors & some don't. My 28x36ft garage has <1000ft of barrier Pex in a single zone with 4 loops. A really simple closed system. I worked with Nibco in...

I have a Overhead Door model 7030 opener on my door. It was installed by them 3 years ago, but never had power to it, other than an extension cord, until today. There's a good chance that the eyes have been bumped and are out of whack. I'm getting a small red light on the unit, and the opener is...

I'm finishing up my tin ceiling in my garage, and I realized how ugly the track hangers are. I remember reading about some better ones, but I had no luck searching for the post, or online searching for the hangers. Any ideas on how I could make these look better?

Spent a total of $17 today on this stuff. A Williams no.404 *********** c-clamp, 2" Ridgid pipe cutter, and a nice Disston saw. The Motor books are just fun to look at. And a 1956 Triumph. Avon bottle.

I'm just starting a restoration of my Mac 10 drawer chest. I bought this thing used in 1988, so I'm guessing it's an early 80's box. I need 3 of the drawer clips. I already called and emailed Mac. They're looking, but it doesn't sound promising. Any suggestions on where I could look? Haven't...

This is the second time this has happened to me, so I thought I'd share and maybe save someone some trouble. My Stihl blower would start, but not rev up. Found wasps had built nests in the mufflers. Cleaned it out and it ran great. Hope this helps someone out, or maybe saves someone some money...

I bought a 1/4" Keen Kutter electric drill today at an estate sale. Never seen one before. Works great. Probably the best $2 I've ever spent. I know people collect all things KK. How would I date it? I can't post a pic right now.

Hi, I'm getting ready to install a radiant system in my new garage build. I have a thread in the Gallery section. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=305094 I'd like to see a few pictures of how others brought the tubing out through the floor to the heat source. I have electrical...

I've been planning a new garage for the last few years. Getting ready to retire and need a place to tinker with my motorcycles. Thought I might post here daily when construction actually started, and maybe someone might learn something. Maybe even me! I was planning to start this thread in June...

I stumbled on some Taco 009-F5 pumps I can get for almost nothing. NIB. The have pin connections, so I'd have to deal with that, but my concern is with the size. I'm wondering if they're too big for my 1250 feet of tubing. I've got 5 loops of 250 ft. Garage is 1200 sq ft. Any opinions?
