    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Put together a rack for some of my M18 & M12 tools, tried out a new trim tire dressing and a Brug's tire applicator brush. The Universal dressing and the Brug's brush worked really well! I didn't have time to find a place to mount the tool rack yet.

    Glass Polish

    I've used several and the only thing I've had good luck with is Ceriglass and the pads from CarPro. It works a lot better with a rotary, a DA takes forever. https://www.carpro-us.com/glass/

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Changed the oil pressure sensor on my little commuter car, 2013 Dodge Dart. What a pain in the ***. Can't really see it and barely enough room to get your hand in to feel around. I attached a pic, you can see part of the little red tab under the wire that needs pulled out to allow you to...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Changed the oil and spark plugs on last week. This evening I changed the fuel filter, air filter and transaxle fluid on the X520 and cleaned it up. I'll get it over to the baseball field in the next week or so. It cleaned up pretty good and should be ready to get through the season.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I spent a couple more hours in the garage stitching this plastic JD hood back together. It's not pretty, but it is solid. I'll clean it up a bit tomorrow and get it back on the X360 so we can list the thing for sale. Considering it was in several pieces 2 days ago, I'm just glad it's back...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I picked up a John Deere X520 for the ballfield the other day. I bought everything to change the oil, filter, air filter, spark plugs, fuel filter and transaxle fluid. I changed the plugs today, drained the oil and polished on it a little bit. I didn't refill the oil or put the oil filter on...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    After baseball practice this morning I drove a little over an hour to pick up a Garden Tractor for the ballfield. I took it home and put it in my garage for right now so I can get the stuff this week to change the oil, plugs, transaxle fluid, air and fuel filters. The paint and plastics are...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    Yep, some people are assholes. Because of his breed, he was in a high kill shelter and didn't have much time left. He can be a knucklehead when he wants to be, especially this time of year when it's cold and swampy so we can't get out more. I bought a bar that connects to the seat post on my...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    He's my buddy, his name is Links. His 1 year gotcha day was earlier this month. I had him brought up to me in PA from down South. He was left tied to a Chain Link Fence in Arkansas and was poked with sticks and beat. That's where the name Links came from. He has been a great dog, definitely...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Drilled a drainage hole in the bottle of a porcelain flower pot for my daughter. You know, real tough garage work! :rolleyes:

    Best way to even out heat in 2 story house?

    I have a different heat pump for my upstairs and downstairs, so that makes it easier. In your case, it's adjusting your vents and a ceiling fan with the switch flipped backwards on low helps a lot. I have mine on now because I just turned on my gas fireplace last night since it was supposed to...

    Garage Radio problems

    Jump on Facebook Marketplace and get a used receiver for next to nothing. You can get some older stereo receivers cheap because most buy receivers now for surround sound. I have an old Kenwood Receiver in my garage powering 4 speakers and it's been great.

    Insulating Shop 30 Years Later

    This may not have as much R value as what you were looking at, but this would be easier. Why not attach foam insulation boards to the block, then go with furring strips and cover with vinyl siding? It would give you a finished look and you can control where you start it so it's not on the ground.

    Larbanke Boxes

    I wouldn't waste your money on that thing on Amazon, the HF US General Boxes are hard to beat for the price. I got rid of a Snap-on box and replaced it with one. I have the bottom, top and side though. I'd have no problem putting a work bench top on one.

    Cleaning up an overgrown sidewalk?

    I've had good luck with EGO for battery tools. I'd get the multi head with the following attachments, hedge trimmer, weedeater and polesaw. I also have the Edger for mine and use it for my sidewalks. I have a ton of M18 tools and they are great for tools, but not for outdoor power tools EGO...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I keep my JD GX345 Garden Tractor with Snowblower and cab in my little storage shed. I leave the battery in it, but disconnect it, so I connected my battery charger last night to make sure it was 100% today. When the temperature finally got over 20 degrees today, I checked the oil and...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Yep, that's the official answer. If they had an extended warranty, a lot of people were able to get it covered. I bought my truck at a year old, so I didn't have anything outside of the 3/36.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Like many other people with a 2018/2019 Dodge with the 8.4 head unit, I had screen delamination. It started about 2 years ago, but didn't really do anything except see where it was delaminating when it was off, but recently it started ghost touching to call people and changing radio stations...
