Hi all. I'm looking for a container much like what is pictured but longer. As you can see, mine is 11" and I need them to be longer but no longer than 15". The ones at Harbor Fr are 16" and my particular use requires a bit less. I don't think I can make the 16" work. Does anyone know...

I've got a neat, somewhat old wall thermometer, the kind with the sweep needle and a humidistat (sp?) gauge on the same face. Neither are reading correctly. Both needles are on bimetallic springs that look a bit rusty. Is there anything that will revive these springs to make them work...

Yeah, I know they're noisy; I had this compressor in the basement of my previous house. It's going to be in part of the basement where I can build a closet around it. I do appreciate all the ideas here. Thanks!

The lines will exit the basement, be attached to the house, then continue to the back of the garage, then thru the wall into the garage.

I plan to put my compressor in my basement and plumb the lines to the attached garage and the shortest, best route is outside the building. The run will be about twenty feet, at the most. I live in the Atlanta area so winters are somewhat mild but winters can still get in the teens, if...

Thanks guys, makes sense. Now I understand the difference.

Home D has this brand in plastic and two different types, identified by the color of the packaging. The channel packaged in blue is a flat oval but without any way to attach it to the wall or ceiling. I'm guessing it gets nailed or screwed to the surface. The channel packaged in green is...

They are, uh, inexpensive, for sure and kind of cheap feeling. But that said, I did my entire house with this brand several years ago and they still look good and feel and work just fine. When you're talking about doing thirty five doors, the savings is significant.

Best I can do for now, moving and all. You can see the wall with the two openings (one without a door) to two little rooms. The entrance to the house is to the left of the open door. I haven't opened the ceiling yet but I think the joists run front to back, as I suspect the lowered part...

Sorry guys, I realize my info was vague and I'll try to get some pics, although everything is drywalled and finished. I do know these little 'shed' rooms inside the garage have headers over the doorways. The wall sits on a concrete floor of the garage. I'll have to tear into the drywall...

Hi all, Just bought a house with an attached two car garage. The back of the garage (an outside wall) has a wall that parallels it, about 3 1/2 feet from the back, in the garage. This is divided into two small shed type of rooms. This wall, along with the back wall is perpendicular to...

I'm going to buy the HF one. 25% off coupon puts the price down to a pretty reasonable level and I don't really have enough scrap iron or any wheels at the moment to build one. I saw it at the store and its everything I wanted in a cart.

Another way that hasn't been mentioned is an estate sale. Find someone familiar with this kind of merchandise. Downside is their take is about 33% and prices are usually expected to be lower than the other routes. You'll get rid of stuff quick, though!

Great ideas ! I appreciate it.

Welcome! A lot of guys would be envious of your space.

I just saw this in the HF flyer. Looks like a great idea. Has anyone used an old small filing cabinet for something like this? I think it can be built for a lot less, seeing that I see these small filing cabinets at just about every garage sale I go to...

Ironically enough, I did use a 4 post lift to pull a motor,,,,,from a Lotus Elan. Worked well because the center of the motor to the front of the bumper is a long way and our hoist's boom wasn't long enough.

I have a diffuser/filter on my exhaust port of my 12 gal Rigid shop vac. It looks like an air filter for a small motor and it definitely keeps dust and debris from blowing out the exhaust. Does nothing to quiet it, though. Hope this helps

I got mine at Ace hardware. They're expanding all around us. Should be one near you.

I like it a lot. I think I can figure it out but to be sure, what's the dimension from the top of one shelf to the bottom of the one above it?
