Poured some concrete countertops for my slight kitchen remodel. We had an old wall oven and bare bones fridge that we bought when we first got married and had no money ha. My wife wanted an upgrade so I tore in. Had to replace the cabinetry to get everything where we wanted it, so I talked...

Watched the super bowl in the garage with some friends after cleaning the place up and sweeping the floor. I guess the insulation, wall and ceiling coverings have really made a difference. Built a fire in the morning, and by game time it was 75F inside, with an outdoor temp of 8F. Had to stop...

I figured the same thing when I got it (it was a gift), but it surprisingly puts out some serious air. I use it far more than I thought I would. It's real handy for blowing out dust and cobwebs out of the shop when a full sweep isn't warranted. Prolonged use does hit the battery life pretty...

I have a ryobi leaf blower that uses their battery platform since I have a bunch of their other tools. I know some look down their noses at ryobi, but I've never had an issue with any of their stuff, and it's affordable. I'm also not using their stuff for everyday work though, just weekend...

2 new yukon cabinets from Harbor Freight's spring sale. I know they aren't the best, but I couldn't beat the price. They'll work for what I do. Ceiling hoist made unloading very simple. I might have to make a couple coasters for the wheels on the cabinets though. The uneven floor really...

Can it be aluminum? .040 aluminum is very common (1mm being .0394). Buy a small sheet and cut one out?

I had to make a quick post about my dad's tailgate on the wall. He bought a brand new 85 chevy 1/2 ton about 4 years before I was born, and drove it basically until it could not go anymore and had to be scrapped. We kept the bench seat out of it and I made a rolling couch for the garage...

I forgot the exterior picture. I know, I know, it needs some paint. I've really been putting that off. Through the breezeway, into the back yard you can see the 12x20 shed that I will get to someday. Also, one of my attic windows got broke last year (one pane of the double pane). I'm...

So, I gutted the middle 11 or 12 feet of attic joists, and went and bought a stack of 2x12's 20 feet in length (not cheap). I cut and lifted them in place, sistering studs to support them, making the front 23 feet or so of the garage all the same height at roughly 8'. I added blocking between...

Even though the front part of the attic joists ran the wrong way, they were straight and had no deflection, so I kept them. I cut the floor out all the way back to about 6 feet where I already had the stove built in. I just cut the beam back and tied it back into the attic roof to support that...

Some before pictures of the inside that show the crazy attic floor joists. The first 11 feet or so of the garage was 8 feet high. These rafters ran lengthwise (the wrong way) with the garage. The rest of the garage attic joists ran cross ways (the correct way) and supported the front 11 feet...

Hello all. Figured I'd make a build thread on my 70's garage remodel since I've lurked around here a while. Long story short, we bought a hundred year old 2 story house about 12 years ago, and with it came a small 20x30 garage with a full unfinished attic built in the mid 70's by the previous...

I use this one for my little 3.0 duramax when it's super cold. I set it to come on about 2:30 in the morning since my truck claims to be full temp in 4 hours...
