    It has 14 stripes

    Honestly, I love the flag theme on stuff, but on that box it just doesn't look good.

    Shed doors, better than quick and dirty?

    Here's a shed in getting ready to move and refurbish, probably 30 years old, no maintenance. I didn't even paint the door and it's still good, will get cleaned up and painted now, maybe even new weather stripping, lol.

    Shed doors, better than quick and dirty?

    I like to use off the shelf steel exterior doors. Get 2 30" doors, build frame, hang them and make one the dead man. Doors are weather stripped add aluminum saddle and use standard lock set. I would also add an aluminum drip cap above them.

    Ryobi wall mount PW

    if I want my wife to pressure wash she will only use an electric one, I have a dewalt & ryobi electric & both work good. You just can't expect these to do the same work as a 3 or 4 gpm unit, but they make up for it with ease of use. I buy the ryobi for work also as they are cheap enough to be...

    6-in-1 screwdriver idea for the tool companies

    Zero Turn Recommendations

    Finishing existing shed for a workshop

    Do you have power to the shed? The only real way to control the climate is with ac & heat. I would opt for a window type unit like this one from amazon. There's nothing like working in a climate controlled environment, plus your tools will love it...

If it was me I'd cut the shed free from the floor, jack it up & add some prebuilt wall sections to add below the existing walls. That's an easy shed to jack up & it's mostly empty...
