    Thanks. The low hanging light is right over the round table, so no, never hit my head on that light. The round table can be also used for playing poker. :D

    None of my neighbors park in their garage.

    I don't understand why some people keep junk in their garage, even if they haven't used them for years? Here's an advice from an expert organizer: if you haven't used the stuff (junk)for 2 years, you need to get rid of them. You can sell them or donate them to Goodwill or Salvation Army. That...

    None of my neighbors park in their garage.

    My 2000 Grand Cherokee looks like a new car and it's always garaged at home and even at work (structure garage parking). 17 years old and it looked like it just came out of the dealer's showroom. I always organize my garage - such as storage boxes for Christmas stuff, etc. to give room for my...

    Two similar air compressors, which one is better?

    I just found out that Quincy 26 gallon air compressor (Model Q12126VPQ), 2 hp compressor pump is very similar to Central Pneumatic's 29 gallon compressor pump. They both are cast iron, but the heads are made of aluminum. Quincy said that it should last 10,000+ hours (rating). Northern Tool is...

    Two similar air compressors, which one is better?

    Harbor Freight Central Pneumatic electric motor (2 hp) is manufactured by Marathon Electric, an American company but it was assembled in China. Does anybody in here knows about the pump? Was it made in USA? I'm referring to Harbor Freight item #61489 29 gallon, 150 PSI MAX.

    Two similar air compressors, which one is better?

    I'm not concerned about noise. I've seen some California Air Compressors, but they are oil-less. I'd rather to go with traditional, oil air compressors because they last longer. Thanks

    Two similar air compressors, which one is better?

    I doubt it, but let's say if the motor is out I can get a replacement from somewhere other than HF.

    Two similar air compressors, which one is better?

    I don't really need a 60 gallon air compressor. I don't plan use heavy duty air tools. That is why I am looking for a 30 gallon air compressor which is good enough for me.

    Which air compressor is best for my garage?

    I am going to buy a single stage air compressor, with cast iron (with oil). I used to have a 20 gallon oil-less air compressor which served me for 25 years. I don't like oil-less because it's so loud and it only lasted 25 years. Stationary vs portable...it's safe for me to go with portable...

    My wife and I always park our cars in the garage (two car garage). Reasons: security and protect them from the hot sun. A couple we know for many years, they bought a house in 2000. They moved lots of stuff from their apartment to their new house's garage. Today, their stuff are STILL in the...

    Rockauto Brake Job Parts

    I usually buy brake parts from autohausaz.com, free shipping over $49. Autohausaz sells quality brake parts - Textar, Bosch, Akebono, Mintex, Ate, Zimmerman, etc. Some people swear that Centric brand brake parts are good, I think they were made by PowerStop or something. I'd suspect that they...
