Yeah I have had good luck with the craftsman 1/4 swivel sockets. I've used them probably 3-4 times a month with my cordless impact. Not supposed to but decent so far. The snap ring pliers are pretty decent. Aside from sockets I'm not a big sears customer. Maybe some Hanson socket trays?

Unless you glance thru them. Or use them for ventilation. You'll never miss them. Open the garage door if you want natural light.

They work well for holding literature manuals, wiring diagrams so on. I have found them to cavernous or odd for odd parts. Maybe some dividers to maximize drawer space potential? Perhaps storage containers which stack neatly inside the drawers?

Yeah sadly I find myself in the same situation with Sears. Especially, the sales flyers which have the same old same old stuff. If I had it I'd probably use it to stock up on missing sockets. But, you probably want something more neat then that. Examine your current projects or projects you want...

You appear to have high callings. Take advantage of that. I'd get the ladder off the ground and get your floor space back. http://www.menards.com/main/storage-organization/garage-outdoor-organization/ceiling-mounted-storage/racor-ladder-lift/p-1881778-c-12656.htm Also look into the...

I have had good luck with the Ingersoll sockets. Yeah they are impact sockets but they don't have the huge wall thickness allowing them to be used as a heavy duty non chrome socket set. They have nice big letters. They have removed their share of hardened Cummins bolts behind my impact wrench...

Lots of ideas here. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49411

Got fed up with less then spectacular access to the attic and the fact that it was raining. So I went a bought a attic ladder. Not having anyone around to assist I used the winch on my truck with a ****** block in the upper rafters.

Started on the gas piping today. Pipe exit thru top. lots of pipe left to run.

Took it down hung two sheets of drywall.

Thanks fellas. I reworked the Heater mounting system today. I had originally made a mount from wood. but the angles were some how off. (I **** at woodworking) So out came the chop saw with some Unistrut. Much better end result. It hangs the heater slightly lower which should help with...

I've decided to make a on going thread as I'm building up my garage. I moved into my first home November of 2011. Since then I've been slowly reworking the garage into a shop where I can work on projects. I'm diesel mechanic by trade I'm into motorcycles and 4x4's. I need a place to work with...

I considered it. I even took a scrap chunk to the backyard to light with my propane torch to aware myself of its dangers. Seemed like it had to burn past the foil. Which required some high concentrated heat. The foam was quite blaze almost like newspaper once through the foil. I considered...

Could always double layer 3/4" foam foil board if your stores stock that to get the 1.5" thickness.

Foil backed 1.5" foam board at 9.8 R?

Used a double layer of 3/4 thick foil covered foam board. Found it easier to work with (stuff in the door slats) then one thick 1.5" piece.

THANKS! those were just the photos I was looking for. Looking to run a replica setup. Anyone have any idea if it will work with a natural draft heater? I think it should as long as I keep the angle 45 or less. I have no reference material for my heater regarding flue length.

I'm installing a 65,000 Btu Westinghouse forced air natural gas heater. Made in 1982 this heater does not have a blower assist for the vent. So I am tossing out the idea of horizontal venting. Vertical it is, 5"type B vent to be specific. I know there are a few rules to follow like you measure...

Thanks I've since ordered the natural gas regulator attachment for this gas valve. The orifice's appear to be #44 which when I look at a chart appear to be the correct size for the output on natural gas. Might pick up a drill bit to be sure they were not drilled. Then I need to inspect the pilot...
