Maybe you guys know this but it was news to me. It has been awhile since I needed to buy batt insulation. R12 used to be the standard for 2x4 studs and R 20 for 2x6. I found that there is now R22 and R24. Both are 5.5” or the same thickness as R20. I was told by a wholesaler that R24 will be...

I have a few tools I have to replace after someone helped themselves to one of my tool bags. Mind you out of the 3 bags I am kind of glad they took that one they did. The other bags had more $s in tools. But all the same I’m probably have to replace $800-$1K of goodies. I had a fairly decent...

Finally found what I feel works for me. I purchased a 60 gallon Sanborn Compressor from Princess Auto. The sale was partly to promote their new store where I live. The suggested retail was $799 and they had it on for $499. This summer I came close to purchasing a used Devilbiss of a lesser...

I am looking at installing a Non-Condensing Boiler for my garage. I did get one quote back this evening. It was coming in at just under $7K not including the boiler. I realized this would be considerably more than a blower type, but the pex is in the slab and thought what the hell. The boiler...

I have about a 3’ overhang on the front of my garage. I don’t want to put up eavestrough it as it would be unsightly and overkill for this problem. The rain is dripping over the edge and washing out the polymeric sand that sets in the flagstone paving stone. What I was thinking was a type of...

Any thoughts on this welder. I realize it is no where near the quality of most of your units but would it be useful to at least learn on. The price appears very reasonable. Comments would be welcome. Thanks

Has anyone hear of either Truss Core or Clean 16? We have talked about gyproc, MDF, plywood etc for our garages. So has anyone tried some any PVC liners. I can think of some positives as no mudding or painting. I have some pics of the Truss Core, the last one is Clean 16.

I was digging up an old Stanley Level for some pics on another thread. Came across this Anglevel that was made in Portland Oregon. Made of mahogany which I thought was an odd choice. Any idea of the age?

Here is the Boxing Day Flyer for the KMS Tool Store. http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?m=1102974471091&ca=4694ce3c-0f96-4eda-b902-32a21bd3d42f

I would like to know if anyone has purchased Hayley cabinets. They are made in Calgary Alberta and appear to be higher end product. What I like is that they are 16 guage. Have not priced out yet as I am away from home on a bit of a holiday and only found about them while in Banff. Which is close...

I bought a couple of gable ended Tool boxes with some tools inside. What I was mostly after was the SK Wayne socket set. But there were an additional 3 sets of socket sets included a Husky and 2 off shore sets. One 1/4" drive socket has me at a disadvantage. Can you guys tell me what it is for...

Me and my neighbour trade some tools back and forth, we figure we have access to a few more items this way. It works pretty good and then we have a chance for a coffee or maybe a more adult beverage. A young fellow I know was given a Dewalt 1/2" torque wrench. He would like to sell it to...

Is this tool of any value. Purchased at Princess Auto approx. $60 off retail. Appeared to be the mid model in their product lineup. I could return Scanner if a poor performer or poorly rated. I was just tired of borrowing my mechanic or buddies tester when something came up.

Has anyone out there purchased a Tire pressure monitor sensor reset tool. I have been warned that all are not created equal. Depends on make of sensor, vehicle and year. I tried my GMC dealer and they don't sell them. He referred me to a automotive chain and he then sent me to the Chevy dealer...

Hi I have to show you a garage that I have been wanting to build for a long time. We even looked at moving to have this built. But I have just put in too much time, sweat and cash into our home that we raised the kids in. I will only start with some of the plans that went into this endeavour. I...

I joined a couple of months ago have been doing some lurking ever since. Have been away from home for part of that time. But now down to business. I started looking around for a site that had to do with garages. Garage Journal seemed like the answer. I am building a garage and will be looking...
