    I don't understand the cost of insulation...

    wow...it must be nice to live anywhere but california. the word that the housing boom is over hasn't sunk in yet around here. prices are still way high for everything out here. I've ended up buying most of my supplies at a local building supply house and installing myself. i've been getting 5/8"...

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    i STOLE this one...found it on craigslist, called, left message. A woman called back two days later, said it was her husbands (they'd divorced) and she wanted it out of the garage. she also said she'd had all kinds of people calling on it. I thought it was the nice $800 Husky at Home Depot that...

    dodge challenger

    I think it looks badassed...too bad it took Ford redoing the mustang retro-style, then selling the hell out of them, for dodge to wake up and realize that they relly blew it with the new charger. THAT car was the one that really screamed "Dodge" until the made that ridiculous...

    leave saw cuts in floor or fill them?

    When I cut mine, I used a small grinder with a 4" diamond blade to finish the cut to the wall. Worked perfectly!

    Which garage door should I go with?

    i just had an industrial roll-up installed in my new garage. from janusintl.com. I've looked long and hard and I think it's the only way to go. Roll up doors save your overhead clearance from being filled with those flimsy tracks or the door itself. I have a sectional and hated it. It was one of...

    4-Post Lifts - Help me decide which ones are quality built.

    Well, the story is they hapened to just come out with that lift exactly when i was ready to order one, and I believe the "introductory" price was 2495 or so. Now I was then and am now still building my garage, so I wasn't in any hurry to get the lift but I did want the low price. So I paid them...

    4-Post Lifts - Help me decide which ones are quality built.

    i went with this one: http://www.americasprideonline.com/universal-lift.shtml one thing i really liked was the ability to have the two posts be placed independently from each other, with no bars top or bottom. Also so far customer service has been pretty good. It was supposed to have been...

    Will 30K get me a decent shop?

    to get back on topic, though...you might be able to get a decent shop for 30K...but you'd better teach yourself to drive a tractor, tie rebar, pour cement and frame. Materials are pretty expensive (even though "there's no inflation" - another bit of conventional wisdom that is dead wrong-...

    Will 30K get me a decent shop?

    boy, that expression really sets my teeth on edge. No, you DON'T get what you pay for. You get what you get! I wish to God you got what you paid for...it'd make life so much easier. I guess I should have hired the contractor that quoted me $250/sqft to add 1000 square feet to my house, plus...

    Alternative Water Source for Garage

    a cheap and easy solution is to install a water softener. it'll pull the calcium (and any other minerals) right out of the water and you'll be able to wash the car, rinse it off and walk away and it will dry clean and clear! I just installed mine in my new garage and i love it...My wife loves...
