    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    @ Heiny57 I suppose it's possible with a bit of a smaller hole but the larger one helps with the radius of the bend where it exits the building - especially when fitting the tubing under first piece of the line set cover.

    What to call your haven?

    I don't like Maker Space either - sounds like a term a non-do'er made up for those of us who have mechanical ability Also hate the term man cave - seems a woman came up with that one and it caught on...otherwise it would have just been been "the cave" Mine is the garage or barn - cause it's a...

    2 post vs 4 post lifts

    I have Derek Weaver W-Pro10 made by Vehicle Service Group (VSG) Dover which includes Rotary, Forward, Direct Lift, others. I chose a 2 post vs 4 post cause I primarily use the lift to work on my cars vs storage. It made the most sense for me at the time and I have no regrets. The W-Pro10 has...

    Steel cost. Are they following lumber prices?

    And insanely low interest rates...but one has to be gainfully employed to get financing which goes to my point of the reportedly high unemployment...something doesn’t add up...

    Steel cost. Are they following lumber prices?

    I mentioned this in another thread- the demand is not consistent with the reportedly high unemployment rate across the country - it simply doesn’t add up. The housing market in Md/DC/Va is on fire with houses selling for many thousands above asking in some cases and getting a contractor to do...

    Newby

    I wish you the best but suggest you insulate shop to keep heat in. Be careful with the flammables as others have already pointed out. Insulation and climate control for my shop was best decision I ever made. I have a 36K Mr Cool mini split, R19 Walls and R38 ceiling. I keep the shop at 60...

    Anyone with "Ring" experience?

    I have the hard-wired doorbell and 3 motion detector flood light cameras - works great and you can tailor the settings via the Ring app anyway you want for notifications, zones, sensitivity, etc. Their customer service is excellent too! One of the LED lights on an 18 month old camera...

    WiFi Extenders

    Not sure what Internet service OP has but I went through with a metal pole barn nearly 200' from my house. The powerline set up didn't work. I have Verizon Fios cable and internet. After much frustration I rented trencher from HD and buried a 1" conduit from house to barn with CAT6 and RG6...

    Price of osb way up!

    Re: Anybody else not doing projects due to cost of lumber? We've been spoiled by cheap money (low interest rates) fueling this housing boom, compounded by folks investing in their homes after having to spend so much time in them due to Covid restrictions. What's weird to me is the reported job...

    My install of my Cheap 2 Post lift. Is it worth it? Maybe.

    I realize this is an old thread and I assume post #56 - what became of OP?

    Derek Weaver W10-pro Black Label Combo

    So far it's been great! Have had it up and down numerous times without issues and the screw-pads are really nice - well worth the $100. I've only had the Firebird on it but should be done in a couple of weeks and next up is some brake work on my 2008 Tacoma.

    House with cool garage for sale near me

    Beautiful house with stunning views - and the garage is a dream. Like eastbaysubaru I wonder why anyone would put a bed in a raised area with steps? Nothing like stumbling to the bathroom in the dark...

    Interior paint for new drywall in my garage

    That’s a good deal! I had mine drywalled (50 sheets) glued and screwed to walls, taped, 3 coats of mud, 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of paint for $2k in labor - I bought all materials. They were done in 4 days (including a day for mud to dry) and it looks great. Would have taken me 3 months...
