Hi, my house doesn't give me a lot of outdoor space for a storage shed, and I'd like to move some bulkier things out of the garage to free some space. On the side of my garage, it's about 5' from garage to fence, and I would like to build a shallow shed 2' deep and roughly 8' long and 7-8'...

Fair point. How far apart should these be, at every 90 degree track intersection?

So I'm going to pull on this adjustable feet thought. If I'm using metal framing, the bottom track is fairly thin, so a bolt through it would event just break through. If I re-enforce just there the foot goes through with thicker metal, I'd still need to tap it, which I'm not sure I have...

Reviving this as I continue to think about it. Even if I do use adjustable feet, the bottom track wouldn't be parallel to the top track. So my next thought was to frame off the area, and pour self leveler in segments so I'd have a nice "flat" surface to build upon. I'll probably put down an...

Jet, that looks great. Mine won't be going against a wall, and I don't have/don't know how to weld. I'll be using metal framing, so Larry's agreement of adjustable feet is more than likely what I'll do.

I bought a few boxes for xmas and I like them for home use, but I'm also not opening/closing the drawers even daily. The widgets are oversized for small wrenches (smaller than 10mm) and aren't the most efficient there, but I also don't have 200 wrenches. switching to them over the packaged...

I'm currently making plans for building an outdoor kitchen with metal framing. Between where the kitchen will go and the inground pool, there is a drain in the patio, but the slope is similar to a shower where the slope isn't in a single direction. To help keep the countertop level, what's my...

A friend at a shop has the OPs Milwaukee box. It lives outdoors, although in a garage bay without a door. On the surface it seems to be fine. No drawer issues, or corrosion that we can see. I remember when these were $600-700 like 3 years ago. I couldn't wait to buy one since that's where...

Stared at the unfinished wall. Thought about finishing it. Maybe in January after I paint the outside of the house. Also saw that the flashing around a vent(?) pipe leaks when it rains. Need to look at that sooner than later.

10 interior doors, 10 different door knobs/handles. Garage circuit was on the same circuit as the master bedroom, which was on the opposite side of the house.

I second the recommendation to utilize the brand of cordless tools that you already have. No reason to get one tool from a different brand, as then you'll need chargers, batteries, etc. You're really splitting hairs when it comes to home enthusiast performance. Others will argue about this...

So i just bought a set of the Icon 3/8" and 1/2" deep socket sets this weekend with their coupons. I was then very upset when i discovered that although they are deep, the fastener only goes in maybe a half inch, which really defeats the purpose of having a deep socket. It's the same as...

Colin Furze is fun. Nothing he makes is practical, but the enthusiasm is great. I do like his tunnel project.

Why not get a pair of dial calipers? get rid of the battery requirement.

I found this article in my local newsletter about this topic: https://www.sdbmwcca.com/stories/2021/07/03/i-might-have-a-tool-problem

I bought at the beginning of last year the 56" US Gen toolbox, and the 14" hanging drawer set. For home use, I remind myself that the drawers are just holding tools. I could never justify snap-on money or essentially anything over $1,000 for a set of drawers. Even if I had deeper pockets...

Installed a utility sink! I've had it for months and it's been a storage been, but I've been slowly organizing and putting stuff away, and now there is water flowing! Tonight / tomorrow is to hookup the fridge to the water line so I can stay out in the garage longer!

Agree with cutting the cord. Honestly look at services like YouTubeTV or Hulu or Roku, amongst others, and see if the lines they provide are adequate for what you want to watch. We have YouTubeTV, Amazon Prime, Netflix, and are about to get Disney+ as our kids are now a little older. All that...

I just picked up a 6 piece set of Husky welded regular duty cabinets, and the inside of the doors have holes for pegboard hooks for added storage. I want to utilize these, but all of the hooks I can find are for pegboards, as expected. My issue is that the pegboards are typically thicker...
