Yup. A car guy here. As far as detailing the cars, my wife (the car gal) is in charge of that. Current cars (see signature line). The Italians (getting ready for Atlanta Italian Car Day): The Germans: The Brits: Note: The Americans are not pictured. They do the work and don't get to...

You made me think too much with that one.... had to look it up. In general, humidity changes about 4% per kilometer. So theoritically, it would be about 0.01% higher near the floor. Sounds like it does not matter. We have our dehumidifier about 2 feet off the floor on a platform because we...

Changed the oil on the 914 and replaced the rear trunk seals (got caught in the rain earlier this week and realized that they leak). Removed trunk carpeting and insulated pad and hung them up to dry. Called it a day (by noon) and decided to goof off.

When you start your thread building this garage, I'll be following it because we have similar requirements. We are considering buying some property and building our dream garage with a nice enough house. We currently have our 12 cars spread out between 3 garages. The total square footage is...

We tried notebooks in each car. I tried a spreadsheet. We tried a calendar on our computer. Nope. Not visual enough. So... I put up a giant whiteboard (4'x8'?) on the wall next to the lift by the toolbox where we can't miss it. A small whiteboard (2'x3') by the cleaner cabinet. On the giant...

It looks close but there appears to be enough room on the side to use a Wall Mount opener. Liftmaster, Chamberlain, and Genie all have versions. Just look up Wall Mount Garage Door Opener. https://store.geniecompany.com/products/wall-mount-garage-door-opener...

I feel your pain! For years, I thought I had tried them all and none of them work for me. UNTIL, one day in Walmart, I saw this one and decided to try it. It actually works (for me): The only stud finder that works for me

This post was very timely. The very day it was posted, I had a plumber in my basement working on a toilet. We returned from being away for a week to a smelly basement bathroom. I had a lot of projects to do and decided to call the professional. He diagnosed that it seemed to be a wax ring on the...

I had to mix a lot of thin set and grout for laying tile and had smoked my 1/2" drill. So just to get that job done, I decided to buy a Harbor Freight special 1/2" with D-Handle and side handle. It was on sale (what a surprise) and got the warranty. I figured it would last a day or two and I...

Most of my cars have those fuses. Lots of good advise above. My Lancia had similar problems as you have and I kept cleaning the contacts on both the fuses and the box. Bending the tabs, etc... But finally I just replaced every old fuse with new ones. Even though every fuse tested good, they...

1991 Trane heat pump. When we bought the house in 2001, we budgeted replacement. When it broke a year later, we were fully prepared for the service company to tell us to replacement. They found the issue, repaired it and told us that everything was fine. Every year, that company comes out...

I use this DeWalt cordless electric grease gun. Easy to load. Very easy to use (sometimes too easy and I make a mess because I'm not a heavy user). I love it. I loaned it to a friend and he swore off all others and bought one too...

We have a few of the ones from Costco and love them. When we go out in our toy cars, we always make sure one is in the trunk (yes, we also have jumper cables). When we hear that dreaded 'click-click-click', we hook it up and it gets the job done. We have only had to use them about 4 times (we...

How about this (I feel your pain, I would jack up the car and put it on ramps until I got a lift)...

20 lights. That is great. You can never have enough lights in a garage. We just keep adding them and with the new LED shop lights that can be daisy chained, it is easy to put them wherever we want them. Your garage looks good. I'm thinking of building something similar at our north GA weekend...

Hi, I just joined Garage Journal to learn more about possibilities with our garages. My wife and I share a hobby - working on and driving fun cars. We tend towards European sports cars from the 1960's-70's era but our love of cars is rather broad. We completed the restoration of a 1928 Ford...
