    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    Holy cow, I sure hope it's temporary! Of course this would happen, I've been planning to buy a 72" here in the next month or two. :sad: Even their 5 drawer tool cart is now $350!

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    I have a very similar sized garage (18x28x12) and I am wondering the same. It seems like lighting gets tricky in small garages with a 12' height trying not to have shadows or too extreme brightness. I ran both of these lights through the Visual Interior Tool, and it says I'll need x6 of the...

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    I've had that ⁷¼ fuel sidewinder for a few years now, it's a nice saw, really handy for cutting things up in the trusses, and cutting sheet goods. The only thing I don't like is you can only get it with the blade on the right side. Pros and cons. So lately I've been really contemplating on...

    Amazon Warehouse Deals

    Not a real warehouse deal, but a pretty good deal nonetheless for a really nice light. I have been eyeing one of these for a while since they were released earlier this year and just noticed that the price dropped quite a bit today, according to the camel...

    How to hang plywood on high walls?

    I have 12'6" wall and did OSB by myself for the vast majority of it. I just snapped a level line about 48-1/2" off the floor (to avoid water) and put the bottom course on horizontally and then stacked the second course vertically on top of that. So then I just had a 6" strip going around the...

    Jeepers creepers bonster creeper

    My shop class in high school had one of those. They have a goofy shape but are surprisingly comfortable. It was a perfect fit for me at 6'1", and even the taller kids could roll on it without issue and didn't complain. I do remember it got pretty close to the ground with the 300+lb. kids on it...

    18x28 Compromise

    Just a couple small boring updates. Still can't do a whole lot, military orders got extended another month, so small bites is all I can do. :willy_nil Got the Ridgecap installed after I ran to the store and grabbed longer nails. Also got the Fascia installed. And not related to garage...

    18x28 Compromise

    Here is a little bit I got done today. Just got the Ridge vent put on and nailed down. Didn't even think about it when I bought everything, but now I have to go get some longer nails to nail down the ridge caps, the ones I have are nowhere near long enough for that. :tard:

    18x28 Compromise

    Ha! I wish. Funny enough, the 'addition' I am wanting to build in the back is more like a "lean-to" style...and my wife is horrified at even the thought, she says it'll look like we have a barn! (which isn't a bad thing in my eyes. lol) Nope, Not much has happened since the last picture of the...

    18x28 Compromise

    Thanks guys. Also, as you can see, the garage door opening is built for a 12x10 overhead door. Looking at getting a nice insulated one with a couple windows in it, just waiting for all my Menards cash to come back and also hoping they have a sale on garage doors soon. But ontop if that, I...

    18x28 Compromise

    Now some pics of the progress we did in a few short days. Each of these pictures were taken at the same time in the morning each day, for the 6 days we worked on it. ------ Also, The homemade wall jacks didn't just go to the scrap heap. I was NOT about to try and push sheathing and...

    18x28 Compromise

    Second part. As you can see in the previous post, after everything was removed, my Dad and I excavated the area for the new slab and built the forms and put in and graded the rock. I was running behind and the season was catching up with me (early-mid December) so I hired someone to pour it...

    18x28 Compromise

    Hey all, I have been a long time lurker and have enjoyed looking at all the build threads on the forum. I have been stockpiling tools from always browsing the *Hot Deals* thread for awhile, but my small basement "shop storage" area is starting to get a little full, lol. When I moved into the...

    Show your new tool arrivals

    got a few things in last week from black Friday/cyber Monday deals. Finally got a set of Trusty-cook deadblows, both flat-flats and ballpeens of a few different sizes. I have been waiting since LAST black Friday to get these things, lol. Got the large deadblow sledge for free in the deal and...

    You all did some pretty good convincing, I picked up the 50k Big Maxx over the Black Friday weekend, it was $150 off and they threw in a $50 gift card for ordering online, couldn't pass that up! From what I've gathered it is about 81%-85% efficient, I believe I saw those two numbers somewhere...

    Picking btu

    That's what I've been reading/thinking, regarding to the short cycling with a oversized unit. But I wanted to make sure with the height of my space, number of doors/windows, etc. Also with how close the price is between the 50k vs 80k. So plus side, if I get the 50k I can put that extra $28...

    Picking btu

    Hey there, I've read all I could trying to find my answer, trying to avoid being "that guy" that asks a questions that's been asked a million times, but there seems to be many variables to this, and that's where my setup differs a bit from all the others I have read thus far. My garage is not...

    Mobil 1 - New round of rebates, low as $2/qt.

    Figured I'd post this here. Just got the Fleet Farm flyer in the mail and they've got some pretty good deals on oil. I'm not sure what the limit is, can't seem to find it anywhere, hoping there isn't one. :bounce: -Mobil - Super 5000 in 5qt jug for $5.99 after rebate. -Havoline (basic oil) in...

    2019 Home Depot Clearance Thread

    Yeah, these were the same two battery kit's, with a 12.0, 6.0, and rapid charger. They were definitely dusty and at the 'end of the isle display', but no sale price for me, bummer.
