This thread comes at the perfect time, I am reconfiguring my garage and want to cut down on the mess. Jim

I learned a lot about sound and sound ordinances when I owned a coffee shop that had bands on the weekend. As the band started playing, I would check them at the property line by the neighbor who would call the police about the noise. If they were to loud I would have them turn it down and...

A while back I studied how the walk in cooler was fabricated on site at a coffee shop/café that I work at. They used 2" thick foam sandwiched between plywood and the plastic wall panels.

Nice Shed. I seem to build a shed at every house I live at. Never enough storage :lol:

Check the cans for the minimum temps that the paint can handle. I have been paint our house this month and last week the temps got down to 44 F. I am using Sherwin Williams paint and it can be used down to 35F. This last week it has been taking a day to dry in the places that I sprayed it...

Great house! Thanks for sharing. Props to your contractors for the quality of work. :beer: Your thread was one that got me lurking on GJ many many months ago. Thanks again... Jim

Drylok. It seals out moisture and adheres well. Make sure you clean the walls with TSP and water or used a wire brush to remove all of the efflorescence and let dry a day or two. If you do not prep the paint will not adhere properly. Jim

How times have changed... Now Taiwan manufactures the better grade of imports :dunno: Great Picture. Thanks!

Nice and Clean. Thanks for Sharing. Jim

I have T5 using 28w bulbs. They are plenty bright enough for 8 foot ceilings. Thanks for the heads up on the diffusers. Jim

I am wanting to do the same thing. Lowes had 4 foot t5 fixtures on clearance for 65 cents each. I cleared the shelves- 8 of them= total $5.20. :rocker: I had to go to Home Depot for the bulbs. They are expensive- $12.00 each bulb but rated for 35,000 hours. The T5 are actually more...

Great find. A little sanding and paint and you have some great benches. Jim

(2) sets of two foot bi-fold doors using piano hinges and 1/2 inch plywood. That would allow for a 8 foot wide door opening. Quick, cheap and Easy. Also based on your user name you may want to check your picasaweb settings... your full name is showing :shocking: Jim

Jack One of my machines is a 10 pound capacity Coffee Roaster. This is a professional grade machine left over from my days of owning a coffee house and roasting facility. The picture shows it in the back corner of my garage. Coffee is one of my passions in life. Fresh Coffee is the best...

I am currently painting our house and will share with you what I have read and experienced so far. The wood siding has not been painted for many years and had many areas that had peeled. It took me about 50 hours to scrape, sand and prep it enough to paint. Prep is the most important part of...

That's a great price for the amount of work. Make sure your wall receptacles are 20 Amp with the wire right sized. Are you going to have an air compressor? Might be worth it to add a 240v circuit and receptacle at the planned location while he is there. OT-I graduated from Bel Air High in 90...

After reading all 167 pages I had to join and post a big Thank You Jack for the great read. In addition to the your eye for cool design; you have,as my wife puts it, an articulate style of writing. There are not many people that are willing to share everyday life as much as you have. It...
