    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I don't understand why you don't just reformat the old NVMe drive from the old computer and use it in the new one? Are you trying to keep the old computer alive still or is it too small for your needs? If the new computer recognized it and could read it then you are good to go.

    Need Advice On Garage Exhaust Fan

    If you aren't ready to commit to cutting holes for a ceiling exhaust fan you might want to look into something like this: Window fan We have the older version of this in our attached garage and it works well. It actually mounts in such a way as to allow you to open and close the window while...

    Tiny screws

    I have that exact kit. Bought it at Lowes of all places due to the fact that I needed a specific bit (a tiny tri-wing I think) right then. It's really nice actually and a great start to a collection of bits for small work.

    Tiny screws

    I'd say they were most likely computer related. You would be surprised how small some of the screws are that hold a laptop together and some of the components. As for the rest of your questions - there is one answer for all of them: Very carefully :bounce:

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Currently taking a break before round 2 - one down, one to go. LCAs 2008 Taurus. Edit - I typed this at noon but didn't submit. Both sides are done now. Old: New:

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Changed the oil in the 07 Explorer. It's been 2 years and 11 days since the last oil change with a total of 3145 miles driven in that time. The previous oil change occurred after 15 months and 3146 miles driven in that time. I didn't realize until I looked up the previous oil change that the...

    Looking For New High Quality Stools With Seat Backs

    Have you looked into office chairs? A back - foot rest - and wheels. Since my work bench is higher than a desk I got a taller chair - often called a 'drafting chair'. Obviously more expensive than a standard stool but well worth it in my opinion.

    Wait - didn't the tortoise beat the hare? That's what I was told so the tortoise is faster than the hare right? I really don't know what to believe anymore. I hope it has a separate choke otherwise things get really complicated.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Yesterday pulled the 08 Taurus in for an oil change. It's been making squeaking noises in the front end for a while now so I finally decided to track that down. I had previously put new end links on the sway bar but it didn't help. I had moved on to suspect the struts as it had seemed kind of...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Pulled the 08 Taurus in the garage this morning because the rear brakes were squealing on occasion. Pulled the left wheel and the brakes didn't look that bad really - neither did the rotors. Wasn't sure what to do and while I was pondering it I spun the hub. I got a little rattle. While the...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    You are living on borrowed time. I've got an 07 Explorer and I'll bet your Mustang uses the same sensors as mine. Last year I started getting a sensor fault - it only happens after I've driven for about 20 miles or so continuously - never just around town. If you have the optional 4 line...

    Need Help With Kenmore Dishwasher

    Outstanding! It makes full sense once you point it out but it's not intuitive. But now it's implanted in my brain and my troubleshooting skills just went up a few points. That's why you read a thread about Kenmore dishwashers even when you don't have one.

    Gutters

    This. Also even white gutters will expand and contract making seams impossible to keep water tight. I went down that road once. I know that wasn't your question but think about it.

    Tree Work

    Be aware that 'topping' a tree can be very detrimental to the tree if not done properly. Actually many say you should never do it - but that's an opinion that's above my pay grade. A lot of mature trees have been topped on my street and many of them ended up in big trouble years later. My...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I assume you know about the release lever in the back that you pull out in order to manually push the machine around? If it's out it isn't going to respond to the pedal. If it's in verify that it's actually connected to the trans.

    How to educate myself in PoE and NVR etc. Need a security system with 2 Way Voice Communication

    I've heard about that and need to look into it. We also ran our cameras on a separate VLAN. Since we are on the subject - we used WiseNet Wave software in our corporate environment. Anyone can download the software and use it in view only mode for free. The catch is that if you want to record...

    How to educate myself in PoE and NVR etc. Need a security system with 2 Way Voice Communication

    That's interesting - the cameras I've dealt with auto detection is a function of the software - not of the camera. The camera is always on. I was dealing with higher end cameras though - not consumer level kits that utilize a DVR. We had separate software running of virtual servers.

    Cool air on me

    It would help if you told us where you live and how big the garage is. Also whether it has insulation and is sealed off decently. Having said that, I worked out of my fairly tight 24X32 detached garage the last 3 years I was employed. I bought a portable unit and I was able to keep the garage...

    How to educate myself in PoE and NVR etc. Need a security system with 2 Way Voice Communication

    If you don't need to network the detached garage then you may be able to get by with a good PTZ camera mounted on the house provided you have a sight line. You will be able to remotely zoom it and pan and tilt it (in case you don't know what PTZ stands for).
