    D.TRECE - Garage + House

    Your details are fantastic and as you have found difficult to achieve. I've been involved in some projects that had similar levels of detail and precision and found it difficult to find trades that worked to that level - you're patience in getting there is outstanding. We did a residence once...

    Compressor quality and reliability

    I recently bought the Puma from NT on line for 499 plus got a $50 on line credit. Picked it up in the store as it was not stocked but in store delivery is $0. Haven't used it, just ran it for the specified 20 min no load break in and plumbed it in. The only thing i can comment on is that is it...

    How did you learn your trade?

    Although my career includes an engineering degree, MBA, and corporate management, that world is not for everyone. My opinion is that too many kids are pressured into college and wind up with somewhat useless degrees and a lot of debt. We need more people in trades and we need to respect and...

    Very interesting thread; Kevin you sure know your stuff. I'm not a machinist, went to engineering school but now in a management role at a large company that does a lot of stamping, rollforming, etc. Spend some time in T&D because those guys have the most interesting job in the plant and they...

    Let's talk about those "mobile" garages, trailers!

    Gas mileage? F150/ecoboost V6; 20' Vnose enclosed with total weight - race car, tools, etc. - about 6K. towing at 70 (which is no issue, no drama) about 8. Big headwind, lower that by 1.5-2.

I keep stuff stored in my trailer - tires, parts, etc. and that is handy, but if you are just...

    analysis paralysis on Cabinets for the garage.

    I bought the New Age Pro from Overstock and consider them very high quality at a reasonable price. They are far better than any wood cabinets i have seen. They are also not Listas or SVs. Delivery was on time, they brought the pallet up to my garage doors, no problem to unload and install.

    Slatwall

    You can't add the metal reinforcements to existing slatwall, the slots are machined oversize for the inserts and then end result is the ID of the insert is the same as the machined slot you have now.
