    Who Do I Call to Fix This? Garage Apron Cracked

    Not sure, but I think you are getting water in the drain, which freezes and lifts the apron.

    John Deere Plastic Hood.

    I broke mine a few years ago. I just used clear epoxy and it has held great. It doesn't look great, but you know what looks good, $750 in my account.

    Best saw to cut knee wall height down

    So anything above the stairs is nonstructural for the stairs. You could remove the studs and sheetrock above the stairs. I would then recap the ends of the staircase with a 1x12. The problem that creates is you will have 4" of unfinished treads exposed. You could take another 1x12 and try...

    Cabinet Making Question

    Make all your cabinet interiors with pre finished maple ply. It will save you a bunch of time and effort and look professional. Finishing interiors of cabinets is never a job that anyone likes to do. You may have to go to a real lumber yard or plywood supplier to get it, but it is well worth...

    Redoing staircase treads

    Part two; as far as rebuilding the stairs, the easiest way for you do to it, is to built boxes that sit on top of each other, each one progressively smaller to become each step. Cap each box with your tread material, which looks like oak.

    Redoing staircase treads

    If you can get behind the stairs you will want to remove nails in the riser that hold it to the tread. Then remove the nosing on the edge of the treads. I like to take a large chisel and drive it into the end grain of the tread to split the tread and remove it in at least two pieces. If they...

    Grizzly lathe?

    I have used a lot of Grizzly machines, albeit, most but not all where woodworking machines. They have always preformed well. Their customer service is great and always seem to take care of problems. I tell people, Can you get better equipment than Grizzly?, sure, but you will pay a lot more...

    3ft awning over garage door

    It looks fine for no snow load. Your design flaw is support in the middle. The center will sag with any load on it. Your cross support needs to be sized for load carrying.

    Building my 36x48 dream garage - need advice

    I think you may want to rethink the floor in the gym. 3/4" osb will probably feel very boncey and may sag between joists with heavy weights used on it.

    Designing new garage - how big is too big?

    I'll go the other way, a garage or workshop can get to big. If you have to keep walking all over for different tools, you will soon realize the error in your ways. Divide the space into different use areas. Decide how much room you need for each use area and block them together. Of course...

    Oil burner keeps shutting off...

    Sounds like the fuel filter is clogged. Once it shuts off the pressure is off the filter material and it becomes unclogged until it runs again for a while.

    Towable boom lift for trusses?

    I used one I rented from Home Depot rentals to lift heavy beam rafter frames. I was not in the basket, but climbing on the frame. Pre built trusses should be no problem.
