I am looking at options for adding insulation to my garage walls. The shared wall with the rest of the house has insulation. The other walls do not. They are all drywalled already and I am looking at a few options. 1. Cut holes in top between each bay and fill with cellulose, 2. Cut holes in...

Looking to get a new compressor very soon. I have narrowed it down to the Quincy QT54. For those that have actually ordered from there, how was your experience? I used the search and see a lot of guys mention them or recommend them, but how many have actually purchased through them that can...

I did spray in bed lining. At the time I was a rep for PPG paints with the automotive and commercial line. I mostly handled tech stuff, but now and then was given new products to test and evaluate. I took a bunch of kits to a shop with a bunch of cool guys and we basically sprayed new...

As Jinks stated, ridge vents in FL are a terrible idea. I remember '04 quite well. Everyone I knew with a ridge vent had water damage. Also tropical storm Fay in '08 proved the point again to the people that re-roofed in '04 and did another ridge vent. The spray foam that was also mentioned...

Go to Tractor Supply and get some Permethrin. Its cheap and maks several gallons worth. Since I have started using it as a perimeter treatment around the house I have not seen any spiders, or any other bugs in my house. I mix it and use it in a cheap pump garden sprayer. There are several...

Anybody have any experience with using an 84 lumber shed kit? I have seen what Lowes and Home Depot offer and 84 looks to have a much better product than them. The kits from the other stores look pretty flimsy (84 uses 2x4 and is 16" stud spacing, the others are 2x3 and varied stud spacing...

You can use a stone or stucco for minimal cost over the foam panels on the exterior. In my basement I did foam inside along with batt between the studs and is nice and warm. My parents recently built and did rigid foam on the exterior and half the basement is finished. Where finished, they...

Helped a friend gut an old house he had with lath and plaster. Some of the house had blown in done 25+ years ago, some did not. We noticed it had settled approx 2'. With the settling, there was still a remarkable difference in the temps between the rooms with it done vs without. If you will...

I had a single car attached garage when I was stationed in KS. Since it was post housing and I couldnt modify anything, I doubled up two king size blankets over the uninsulated garage door and secured them with locking pliers. This alone helped a lot, the high winds in the Flint hills are...

I have GW at the house and have had them for years. I'm a mechanic in the Army and we have Armstrong (rebranded GW) and Snap On. I still prefer the Armstrong. The Snap On ones are nice but the ratcheting box end is bigger and I cant always get it in tight clearance areas.

Upol Raptor is by far one of the best I have seen. I worked for an autobody supplier for a few years as well as grew up in a body shop and will only reccomend that one. Has great durability, adhesion, really easy to use, not very expensive and keeps its gloss for years. A friend of mine...

The bigger buffers are generally used in production body shops. Detailers may use them time to time to quickly cut down large panels but will go to smaller ones for polish/glaze. Porter Cable makes a great smaller one but if just a diy sort of deal Harbor Freight has one like it for much less...

Versital, light, small, lower air consumption (DIYers usually have smaller single stage compressors). You will find that you only dig the 1/2 in out to bust the big stubborn stuff.

I have the Craftsman LED rechargeable light and love it. I have one at work and at the house. It is big, but if I cant get that in a spot where I need it, I have a LED light I wear on my head.

they are offered in green, black, blue, and red.

I got cought up drinking all day for the bowl. sku is 849456.

Was at Home Depot yesterday and saw a 10 pc metric and standard T handle allen set for $5.00. It was the Manhattan Kansas location, but the price tag looked like the normal sale one and not a clearance tag.

Black Knight are nice. If in a body shop I love the Thicksters. Thick, re useable, solvent resistant, badass glove without any powder. $13 a box.

I've had the M12 for over a year now and I like them. The impact can go through a battery when running lag bolts in wood. But, when I've use it at the shop it seemed to last forever.
