    Finish detached garage without insulation?

    Middle road approach: Why not insulate the walls and leave the ceiling uninsulated. At a future point if you wanted, you could cut an access hole (might already be planning one for storage) and blow in insulation. The walls will be the harder part to do once drywall is up. The ceiling...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Abandoned Heliport | Studio + Garage

    Glad to see an update here!!! I love your space and it is fun to see what you are up to. I love the stand on it, jump on it, hang from it tests! Many a project has been validated with this fine engineering practice!

    Has anyone build a passive barn?

    I have a friend that has several barns, and in one he built an insulated room. He insulated it with bales of hay. Essentially he stacked them and framed the wall against it. I'm not sure what he did for the ceiling though (that would be quite heavy!) Sure, would be quite a fire hazard but...

    Gas Pressure Washer Pump Replacement

    I replaced a pump on my Troy-bilt model with a briggs motor. I found the OEM pump part number and put it into amazon and found something that said it was compatible. I'd imagine the sellers on Ebay and Amazon are the same people. Get someplace that will honor a return if it is wrong. My...

    not a dream garage but atleast she got me a Tuff shed... help designing..

    Congrats, I know how it feels to be "under-garaged". Glad you are getting something, and in San Diego with a car-port it shouldn't be to terrible to be working outside under cover, and the shed will help protect your tools when not in use. I don't understand your question, are you asking...

    Garage Cieling Insulation, mixed living space above

    Hi Friends, I installed a mini split in the garage this summer in hopes to get a little more heat during cold Ohio winter. This will be of little effect if I don't get the ceiling insulated. I have a mix of living space and not living space above my attached garage. It looks something like...

    I think my air compressor pump is shot

    Is this an oil less unit? I've seen them wear out the rings. We had an old crafstman that would not pump over 70 psi, took it apart and found the piston and "cup" to be very worn. $45 for a new piston (ring was pressed on there if I remember) and a new cup and it worked like new. Even if...

    At home wheel alignment

    The Tenhulzen 3300 2 Wheel Alignment System looks pretty cool. I've done the jack stands a string method and gotten pretty close. My Saabs do not have adjustable Castor or Camber, just toe. The factory service manual says if castor or camber is bad, you need to be replacing bad parts...

    IR2131 Best 1/2 Impact Gun Ever. Change my mind

    Bet the 2131 would get a Honda crank bolt off with one of those fat sockets: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RGNCV1U/?tag=atomicindus08-20 More mass, like a bigger hammer. Worked a treat for my cheapie husky impact.

    Automatic garage door design for under porch bike parking

    This^. I might think about adding some hydraulic openers like the lift supports on a hood or hatch, and a solenoid that pops the latch. It would automatically open, but not close. Would be simple, and effective, but might be troublesome to close while holding the bike on your way off. I...

    Lean to style shed on side of house

    My kids bikes are frustrating when you don't have alot of space. In the Winter I hang them up, but in the summer they clutter an entire side of the garage. I once made a bike rack but while that was organized it still took up a ton of space (Four bikes). I'd like to build a lean to style...

    Battery Powered Impact

    Just bought a Bauer (Harbor Freight) 1/2 impact. You will not regret the decision, but I would have gone for the rigid model if they would have had that deal you posted. I paid: 100$ for the tool 60$ for small battery, charger, and 1/4" impact (could have bought battery and charger for $40...

    What happens when you add volume to oil-less compressor?

    While I would love a new compressor my oil-less was the right price and I've loved having it. It is super loud, and slow to get to the factory set 145 psi limit. One of these days I will adjust it down. I've done some painting with a friends similar oil less compressor and we burnt it up (it...
