    Sprinklers: Need some advice

    I meant going off the vertical would be more professional, because you have one tee location instead of two. I realize this doesn’t matter. I went ahead with option 2 and used a regular tee by digging out a little more to allow the pipe to flex. Great tip on the “funny pipe” piece - never seen...

    Sprinklers: Need some advice

    I made a rough schematic to help show what I'm up against. Red x's mark roughly where I want to add heads. The reason I don't have a dead area further to the right is that the yard narrows. The open area to the left is the other zone, and that zone is nice and green with the existing heads.

    Sprinklers: Need some advice

    Could you elaborate on this? I only need to add 2 maximum (may get away with one, but I'll plumb the second while I'm at it, and cap it if they overlap too much.

    Sprinklers: Need some advice

    I did not put in the system. There was an existing system when I bought the house, and I had pros do the landscape before we moved in (just back in Nov/Dec). They also re-did the plumbing, but I'm sure they used what they could with the existing plumbing. I didn't think to look at how they...

    Sprinklers: Need some advice

    I’m worried about that as well. But I figure it’s worth a shot. If the overall performance becomes unacceptable with the additional heads, then I’ll have to pay a pro to run a whole new line for me.

In the middle, I've got some dead areas, so I need to tee off a line and add a couple of heads in the middle...

    Who's played with 80/20 before?

    Yea, we use it alot to make chassis' at work for various equpiment. Handy stuff. Never thought to use it for garage space (like shelves, etc.), but could be a great option that would work similar to gladiator brackets if done correctly.

    I've noticed quite a few scams on offerup. One telltale sign is if they ask you to email them.

    carbon monoxide

    I've taken one thing away from this thread. I will no longer idle my fun car for 5-10 minutes in the garage (door open).

    Craftsman 12-drawer roller - not sure it qualifies as vintage so I'll ask here...

    For the casters, you can get some leveling casters which basically serve the purpose you are looking for: https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-casters/=1axsrnd If you want something more stable, then you can add floor locks in addition to your casters...

    New and Looking for Ideas

    Hi all, I've known about this site for a long time but finally decided to join. I just bought a house with a 3-car garage that I plan to stay in for a long time, so I will finally set out to build a nicer garage. I started by demo'ing the terrible built-ins' (via 2x4's) and giving the walls...
