    Where do I start?

    I' currently own a 1 acre chunk of land that has my 1050sqft home with a 36x46 shop and have enjoyed it for almost 10 years. On Friday my wife and I put in an offer on a 4.75 acre place out in the country, but it lacks a shop. The house has a 24x30 garage that I intend to keep some of my stuff...

    Grungy looking overhead doors - how to clean?

    My two 10x10 overheads are in need of cleaning. Hitting them with water does next to nothing. I tried a few things I had kicking around for regular household use, but they won't get the grinding/welding/diesel/smoke "grunge" off. What are you using to keep them clean? It might be easier to...

    I want to monitor my garage via web camera

    I'd like to be able to monitor comings/goings in my yard/shop, from anywhere using a computer across the web. Ideally I could: - receive email notifications when motion is detected during certain hours - log on from anywhere and view the camera I have no need to record at this point in time...

    Need to replace the rubber pads on my 2 post lift arms

    Does anyone know where I can get a 24x24 chunk of 3/8 or 1/2" high density rubber? I can cut the pads myself. The hoist is an older Hoffman 2 post screw type.

    Need to mount 4ft flurescents on a 45, how?

    I'm putting 6 - 2 lamp 4 foor fluorescents in my enclosed trailer. Yes, I realize it's complete overkill but that's what I'm all about :shocking: I would like to put them along the roof/wall edge on a 45 degree angle. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do this cleanly?

    Overhead snowmobile storage project completed

    Last summer I struggled to keep order in my 36x46 shop with 4 sleds, a racecar, my F250, Civic and misc other junk. With my recent purchase of an enclosed trailer and getting the racecar back on the track this year, I needed room to work on my stuff and I needed it fast. I came up with this...

    How do you store your aerosol cans?

    I had a nice wall mount cabinet I was using, but I have been forced to move it due to another frankenstein project (more on that later). The cabinet is simply too big to put anywhere else in my shop. How are you guys storing your paint/wax/oils etc? I have around 60 cans that need to be...
