    How is harbor freight always out of stock on main products??

    This statement is right on. In addition to the west coast port issue, several importers diverted to other ports in the south and east stressing the capacity at those ports that aren't built to handle that type of demand. Funny how the largest port into the US (LA/LB) is also one of the most...

    Hitachi

    Have that exact set, paid more than that a couple years ago and would do it again. Both the drill and driver haven't missed a beat. The stuff I have asked it to do has been pretty basic but the drill was a champ when I was hanging drywall on the ceiling of my garage. Took a fall or three from...

    Sell Snap-On Classic 78 for twin HF US General 44"s, advice welcome

    I think it turned out great! Would have made the same decision, and glad to see your vision become reality. Now you have more cash for more things that will be better put to use NOW, not what you were doing 5-10 years ago. On a completely unrelated note, can you describe the look on peoples...

    Mark's Monster Garage....3800 sq ft

    Mark, I have invested the last three nights in following this journey from the beginning. Jaw dropping to say the very least. Your craftsmanship and attention to detail is in very rarefied territory. Your buildings are awesome, your cars are awesome, hell, I've never met you and you seem...

    Garage Overhaul Using Rust Bullet for the Floor

    Every time I think about going with a color other than red, somehow I come back to this thread and see those amazing walls. Just tell me it was the most difficult thing, I shouldn't waste my time and it doesn't look nearly that good in real life! Nice addition to the stable as well, great...

    Starting this Garage build with all 10 fingers...

    The table is beginning to take shape, keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the blue on the legs! That metal pegboard really filled up quickly too I see.

    How do you lift a heater?

    I vote for the drywall lift and sheet of plywood. My local ACE has tool rental available, I think it was $20 for 4 hours, well worth it if you are on your own. I had access to two 8' A frame ladders and helpers for a 45k heater. Amazing how much help you get from neighbors when the cooler is...

    My two car garage

    Looking good! Are those cabinets metal or wood? Can't tell by the pics. Nice wheels, I would take the style over the current version....okay, maybe not the ZL1

    sheetrock question

    What he said. Also, make sure you have 5 rows of 5 screws per panel (on a 4x8 sheet) and drive at least 1" of the screw into the stud (1.5" screws min if going with the 1/2" drywall).

    Attached Garage Insulation ? (WI)

    I just blew in cellulose this past Saturday into the garage attic. I went through 65 bags @ 6.55ea plus the rental for $50. It took 3.5hrs to get through it all and my garage is 28x22. You need 3 guys but could get by with two. I added some poly foam to the back of the access door and closed...

    The "Test House"... a 3 Stall Garage in Minnesota

    I like how the windows turned out, even better that you were able to find a location for the originals. It is coming together very nicely, like the color on the siding as well.

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT 24'x48' Pole Barn Workshop - Orono, MN

    Did you have someone do the floor or did you do it yourself? How does it hold up with the weather? I'm west of you and am looking to have that done in my garage if you hired it out. Very simple but effective. Pallet racking looks great in there! You can never have enough light, great setup!

    Garage Overhaul Using Rust Bullet for the Floor

    Absolutely stunning! Excellent work, you live and learn on the red paint. Now just turn the car around, have only the side marker lights on and you have yourself a Porsche brochure. I also like how you noted you "deliberately" heated up the tires to test the paint....I can hear how that story...

    CoderedZ's 24x24 Garage

    Re: My 24x24 Garage Lookin' good! Can't believe you got all of those sheets of drywall up yourself. Myself, BIL and his son are having a bear putting up a ceiling right now. Good idea re-using the countertops. Are you going to build a shelf below the countertop or rolling tool box under...

    Starting my 2 car garage....

    Looking good! I'm planning the same look. After diligent research on this site (i.e. non-stop drooling), there are a couple options I am considering; 1) 2x6 painted for a chair rail approach. Simple, cheap and installed fairly quickly. 2) notching a 2x2 or 2x4 to "cap" the steel, slightly...
