You mean the red/black ones, right? i have had them for 2 years now. they only get used during the summer, and then, probably just Saturdays and Sundays. so for the occasional user, they have been great. i got an extra charger and battery (3 drills, 4 batts, 4 chargers) for backups. so for me...

i have my seasonal stuff in a 8x8 shed. mower, trimmer, pop up pool, motorcycle (and accessories) when summer comes, mower is in carport, motorcycle is in garage (easier access), and inflatable pool stuff takes the place of the pool. i have a shelf in there where all the camping stuff goes, but...

for my house, previous owner had a lift, but instead of leaving it, he took it and cut the bolt level with the ground... now I'm thinking that I cannot put a lift in garage because the floor already has the holes drilled and I wont' be able to use the same area to put up a lift

the outlet i can make into GFCI, i just wanted to get the placement of the outlet. knock off my wife? why i'd never admit to that on a public forum :) what is HDPE? i did work in fast food for years. i understand why stainless steel is used, but i'm unable to afford that. hoping to find...

So, I am in the process of making a food prep table for my wife. Curious to know what to use as a top "paint" coat. not sure if i want to paint with a color first, then put some kind of clear coat on, or if i just want to do a clear coat. the Kitchen is black and white themed. the frame of the...

i am not the tool aficionado as most people are here. i go there because i am still learning what tools do and which ones i need/want. i bought quite a few tools there for a specific project, and haven't used since then. some i have used a lot and waiting for them to die to have an excuse to get...

that was the first thing I said as to why we were moving out... "the only reason we are moving is because of the HOA. we can afford the house, love the neighborhood, love the neighbors, we just cannot agree with the HOA" when we moved in, we were told there was a HOA, but never been contacted by...

i bought one of their old black goodyear hoses years ago. it kept rupturing, so i have cut it down into a couple pieces (3' and 4 foot pieces). used it for short lengths bought a blue PVC 50' hose from HF 6 years ago. it has been kept inside, no problems with it bought an orange poly "roofing...

got a neighbor in Shelbyville

1- looking to see if it is possible to repurpose a wireless doorbell to be used as a garage door opener (hook up the receiver to the wall switch controlling the door opener) 2- if possible, how would it be done? now, extra info: i'm not looking for anything security wise, just wanting something...

anyone have the $5? powder coat applicator. haven't seen it in a while and would like to try my hand at that on a cheaper model

as I'm reading through this thread, i'm reminded of all the HF tools I've purchased: air tools, power drills, lights (even the freebies). i think that the only things that have failed on my is 1 blue 50' PVC air hose, and 3 female air couplings. now, as a disclaimer: i am in no way an avid tool...

fortunately for my wife, i don't have any hobbies. no car repairing or wood working that i spend loads of time on. i do however, like to tinker in the garage. being on a basically $0 budget, i scrap things together for later use. i'm what my wife calls a "hoarder". so i have lots of little...

Build a dog house... actually i did that at my old house. Our house was one of the first built on the street, so i got loads of wood, shingles, siding, everything. i took a couple weeks building it. maybe 5' high, had window, carpet, stairs, 2 floors. my chihuahua decided he wanted nothing to do...

i did not see any issues. they were banded together. haven't unbanded yet. not planning on making 2x4 out of them as i have no way of doing that (no table saw) edit: was walking through in morning and didn't see them. when walking through later in day, saw them, so they were not out in...

i'm thinking 2x8 would be too much for the roof, but what about a frame for the roof? still too much? i could then save 11 of them

ends up i was mistaken on the size... they are 12 footers! would love to make a shed floor, but no money for the rest of the shed (though i have made plans and priced everything out). could make a shed roof!!! but won't have sides or a floor. this is where my carport idea came from

So today while shopping at Lowe's, came across some 2"x8"x10'... 15 of them! got them for $43. now the problem, what to do with them? wanting to build shelves in garage, but i think that this wood would be over kill. want to make a carport, but 2x8 for the ceiling sounds like over kill also...

"but son, I retired from Pepsi" ... and that's when the fight started

i had an employer who did "profit sharing" with the employees 2x a year. well, right around month 5 and 11, the shop would get new "toys". so things never got fixed, just replaced. made us employees mad because that cut into the profit sharing. owner would boast about us getting new toys, most...
