All this troubleshooting talk reminds me of a problem with an early 2000s Chev diesel bus. I looked for hours to find troubleshooting for the "pulse driver module"(or named something similar). Literally the ONLY troubleshooting I could find anywhere was, "Replace PDM, if problem goes away, it...

Also hats off to Mike for being willing to listen to the younger tech when he said he wasn't comfortable doing the repair and asking to watch you. Lots of people would have said "figure it out, that's how I learned", or just a flat "no, it's your problem"

I'm sorry about all the bad stuff you're dealing with. Sometimes life *****. We'll keep you in our prayers. We love your posts when you are able to make them!

I would like to have an epoxy or similar done to the floor. With it being pockmarked, I am not sure if that needs to have something done to it to level/smooth it out before the epoxy coating?

Hey guys, the time has come to put some time and money into the garage. Currently it is a 2.5ish car garage, that has insulated and drywalled walls and ceilings. I would like to have the garage a little more comfortable and look a little nicer. I have three things I want to do, and will...

I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family.

Growing up in Wisconsin everyone drank, and drank a lot. I personally never got into it, and was able to just tell people I didn't drink because i had expensive hobbies and couldn't afford it. People usually never pushed it after I told em that.

Sorry, it’s in regards to a previous life when I was a big fan of Mercury marine racing.

Stick with the big rack ;) they fill up faster than you think. Patch panel, cable management, switch, PDU, UPS… before you know it you’re full up lol. Ask me how I know.

Mike, you don’t know me from anyone, but I love reading your threads. Regardless of topic weather it is vehicles, tools, home/building, relationships, etc I enjoy your perspective. It is extremely refreshing to follow along about how things should be done. Also, add me to the list of people who...

It’s an attached garage, walled off from the house. All the walls are insulated and drywalled, but not taped. Just bare drywall. Same for the ceiling. Insulated and bare drywall. The sun will heat the garage in the summer for sure. I don’t believe there are existing vents into the garage...

There currently is one window. I’ll have to look into a fan/louvers. I don’t think I currently want to cut a hole in a wall just for a hose to go through.

Hey guys, I am in Wisconsin and have a semi-finished garage. Concrete floor, insulated and drywalled walls and ceiling. Currently when we bring in a car after it rains, rain sheds off the car and pools on the floor. With everything closed up it just gets damp and muggy in there. What is the...

So now with the slipping in the snow/ice, does this mean it’s time to install some deployable chains like emergency vehicles use? I kid Mike, I love following along on your adventures!

Great writeups Grant! Thanks for sharing!

Mike, Do you take your wheels/tires somewhere for mount and balance? Or do you do it yourself and use a bag of equal in each one? In my diesel mechanic days we would mount/dismount ourselves and toss an appropriate sized bag of equal in.

Lol, good point. I know I was subscribed at one point, but i’ll have to check again to make sure I have it. Some how over the past summer I was loosing subscriptions and had to go out and re-subscribe to all of them. This one was the first I made sure I had. Love your threads Mike!

Hey Mike, I love following your thread. To be clear, will you be posting the garage updates in the shop/build thread? I just want to make sure I'll follow the right one! Thanks for how much you document in detail!

I wonder if o can get some composite deck material and cut it to thickness.

I would have to double check my measurements, but the distance I need to bring it up off the floor is very little.
