    Down to 3 options for new garage tool storage / workbench

    I am bout 6'2" tall. I just measured the cabinets and I got 75 1/4" high and my garage is 103" high so about 5" shy of being 9'. I don't think they would look out of place at all height-wise and the nice thing is I don't have to reach for anything in the cabinets. Everything is right there at...

    Down to 3 options for new garage tool storage / workbench

    I bought the New Age Cabinets and for my light-duty use, they are perfect. I went with the 9 piece due to space constraints and wanting it to fit on a certain wall. No shipping damage at all and they seemed to be packed extremely well. I had a pickup truck load of packing material to dispose of...

    Carpenter bee problem

    I bought rough-cut lumber to build a shed at my previous house and they told me I wanted Hemlock and not pine as the bees are not attracted to the hemlock. Not sure if it is true but the shed was in perfect shape and never any insect issues until the day I sold the house and it was up for 15 years.

    How to strip or prep these odd surfaces for paint....not afraid to buy tools/blasters/etc

    Blasting aluminum can be tricky. The wrong pressure or medium and you will ruin the product you are sandblasting. Aircraft remover would be the easiest and quickest option. Rust-oleum makes it and I think Jasco. You want a Methylene Chloride based stripper for aluminum. it is very toxic though...

    My Man Cave - Laminate flooring in my garage

    You didn't say it but you darn well might have proved it LOL! Some of that laminate is pretty tough stuff. Now maybe if you were rolling jacks on it all day, creepers, toolboxes, and doing commercial work in there it might not be the best choice but for a home user just parking his vehicles and...

    Making the underside of a porch unattractive to critters?

    I think if you don't have anything under there already you probably won't. That lattice has plenty of space for all kinds of animals to squeeze through and there is a broken area big enough for a fox, woodchuck, raccoon to get in already. I like something like this here. You could even just...

    Jackshaft garage door opener recommendation

    "I truly thank y'all for your input, as said I'm tryin to learn if any of these "smart" things would benefit me." That's the key right there! None of this benefits you so no need for it. Just like I don't weld so I have no need for a mig welder :) In my case, I have found it handy multiple...

    Any Conduit That Is Split For Exisiting Wire?

    Hey Everyone, Is there such a thing as a conduit that is in two pieces for existing wiring? Previous owners of the house did some wiring and ran it through the garage and just fastened it to the wall. I am going to have a new service done and address this at that time but it might not be for 24...

    Awesome work light!

    I've had good luck with the Husky LED work lights. I own this one here and it is a beast and turns night into day and doesn't get hot where it will burn you like the old halogen things. I was working in my garage painting and other stuff using the lights below and a cordless would not have...

    Any way to fix this?

    Well, in my opinion, I would cut my losses, remove it and start over. The problem I would have with it is it is such a prominent feature of the garage and if done correctly can really add a wow factor to the facade. You could easily waste more time trying to cobble this together than just...

    Garage Tile Questions..

    Your floor looks great so just a good cleaning before placing down the tiles. Mine was a mess and I had to use 6 or 7 bags of top and bond to fill in worn concrete and get it a bit more level. I then cleaned it best I could, rolled down the landscape fabric as I went, and then placed the tile...

    How To Start Tile On Wall - What's Your Preference?

    This would probably work in most cases but in my case on the one bathroom, it would have been much more difficult. I needed to end up at the top without having to make any cuts due to the black trim and border. I needed a full black 3x6 tile, a full 4x4 tile, and the black pencil trim below. As...
