All, I was wondering how often you should change blast media? I'm using glass beadsand it seems like it has lost some of it's efficacy. I have the cabinet hooked up to a shop vac to get rid of the dust. Thanks, Lou

Girl/kbs, I'll give the NRCS at try. The county here has been useless, it sounds like the NRCS might be a good resource. Thanks, Lou

All, Thank you for the quick replies. The area is somewhat landlocked, because of issues with pushing the water onto the neighbors property with natural flow. We could mechanically pump it down the hill, but we have had some outrageous estimates from an engineer as to a permanent cost for...

All, We have a pond that develops on our property after a big snow melt or a strong rain. Due to the poor forethought of the builder this water can sit for months on the property because it has no where to drain to. We have considered landscaping it a a seasonal pond of sorts, but given that...

PM sent on the speed wrench...

$2.40 a gallon in Denver about a month ago.

Anyone pinstriping their toolboxes? Let's see some pics... Thanks, Lou

Thanks for the replies. The three car garage is attached, but I don't have to worry too much about the odors. I was also concerned about welding sparks in the wood shop, definitely a consideration. I'm going to call the county tomorrow and find out what the required offsets from the property...

All, I'm in the beginning phase of planning for a shop on my property. We have 1.5 acres, but they way it's laid out leaves only a couple of spots that work. Right now the northwest corner of the property is probably the best choice. However it's only 25' from the back of the house. I'm...

Stang, Sorry to hi-jack your post, but I have a related question. We have these small gophers that like to make their burrows over the leach field presumably because it's warmer there. Does anyone see any potential damage issues with that? I don't want to put poison down because we have a dog...

I must be tired, but that story cracked me up. My wife thinks I'm crazy... I've had the infamous hot foot a time or two. Lou

I have had several moments, the latest...Replacing the ignition switch on my wife's Harley, all is well and I'm finishing up the wiring heating up the shrink wrap with my heat gun. The gun has a diffuser on the front that narrows the flow. I decide it's blocking the air flow and grab it to take...

All, I have one section of my concrete driveway that has sunk about an inch or so and has a nice horizontal crack all the way across. One of the other slabs (there are four) is sinking, as is part of the sidewalk. Has anyone had experience with mud jacking? I have a quote of around $800 to...

Thanks guys. I'm at least 75' from the road, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'll shoot some pics on Friday when I'm home and it's still light outside. I think the problem is going to be the way the roof pitches on the single side of the garage. I have seen some awesome stuff on this forum, so...

Hi, Been lurking awhile and admiring all of the awesome garages. We currently have a three car garage but as everyone knows it fills up fast. I was wondering if anyone has experience adding onto the front of an existing garage? We have the room for a stand alone shop, but we aren't planning...
