    Turning Off Thread Rating in Free Parking

    It's abundantly obvious someone's favorite pass time is to vote, give single stars, to nearly EVERY thread in the Free Parking forum, the asinine behavior encroaches on the absurd. I'm not certain what this passive/aggressive approach is meant communicate, but is there any way we can simply...

    Any one use pegboard instead of tool boxes?

    Like most of the fellas here, I think a combination of using both works well.

    Is a Mini Split a Possibility for Me?

    Into the floor - Meaning into the concrete? Under the sill - Which one? I'm assuming the smaller garage door, so I would be digging up driveway as well as the concrete floor? Across the driveway - So I would have ducting going across the driveway, or under it? Ore bent elbows - What are...

    Is a Mini Split a Possibility for Me?

    The older I get, the less I want to work in the garage in miserable temperatures, either hot or cold. I normally heat the garage with either a propane or kerosene unit in the winter and was thinking about getting a mobile air conditioning unit (kind of look like mini R2-D2s) and thought there...

    Hunter type fans in the garage...............

    Installed one last summer, I made sure the mount was VERY secure, I had the same worries about the fan coming down on top of one my cars. As stated, be sure to use a truss to secure the mount, I also used fairly stout lag screws. I use it year round, and now that I have it, I'm not sure how...

    electric bill

    Both months were actual readings and not "estimates," right? I know PotEd does same crazy stuff with their estimates.

    Building a shed from air freight containers

    \ I'm really digging the ingenuity in this build! This might help in your stake search (they can usually be found in the pet aisle in your favorite big box store) I use them to hold the tarps down covering my stacks of wood and we get crazy high winds, these work perfectly...

    Lighting up a Flag - Ideas?

    This is how I answered the question of keeping my flag(s) properly lit at night. My only advice is to make sure it is water proof and built to be used in very wet conditions, not "water resistant" meant to be used in mostly dry conditions. All said and done, it might be easier to use a...

    Wireless Infrared Outdoor Security Cameras...

    I wasn't sure where to locate this thread (so I put it in two places, Admin feel free to delete from one or the other as you deem necessary), it will be used as a tool for keeping my garage secure; however, in the strictest sense it would most likely be considered an electronic gadget by...

    Garage Door Not Fitting Tightly in Frame...

    In case anyone was curious, I went the easiest route and moved the weather stripping back, it now seals fairly tightly. Since the frames of the garage doors aren't true, I doubt I'll ever really get a good seal, but that isn't the fault of the garage door, or the installation, its due to poor...

    Garage Door Not Fitting Tightly in Frame...

    What is a C-section, is that the same as a track? I don't see anything adjustable inside the track, the only things track-side of the brackets are rivets.

    Garage Door Not Fitting Tightly in Frame...

    It's a consensus then...I'll move the stripping back towards the door more, hopefully that will fix the rattles in high wind and actually create a seal around the door. Thanks everyone!

    Garage Door Not Fitting Tightly in Frame...

    It was if I recall accurately. The stripping sits flush with the frame and covers the gap. Are you all suggesting I should offset the stripping from the frame to move it closer to door? I can see how this would help, but is it actually curing the problem or is it band-aiding it? Should a...

    Garage Door Not Fitting Tightly in Frame...

    The weatherstripping is good, it covers nicely, once the door is pushed flush to the frame from the inside. The 1/4" in/out slack is what needs taken up so the weatherstripping can do it's job...I think. *sigh* I think your right, the brackets need drilled so they can be made adjustable. That...

    Garage Door Not Fitting Tightly in Frame...

    How would I shim the roller? If I put a shim on the roller plate, it would push the door further from the frame, not draw it in closer....:confused: Or...do you mean I should insert something into the track to push the rollers forward as it closes...??? I'm confused.

    Garage Door Not Fitting Tightly in Frame...

    I was afraid someone was going to say that...16 brackets...2 rivets each, then I'll have to purchase the hardware needed to use the slots, I was really hoping for an easy adjustment somewhere...:tantrum2:
