I have a free flow tile floor. I use a vacuum sweeper to clean instead of a broom. Sweeper has a bag so less dust in the air than a broom. It usually ***** up whatever falls through the floor. I use steel plates or plywood under my jack stands and floor jack wheels to prevent crushing of the...

Got a cat? Just wrap it with rope! :-)

My Shopsmith Mark 5 is quiet. In table saw mode many have commented on how quiet it is, the loudest noise the wind/air noise from the blade. In bandsaw mode I hear the radio without turning it up.

Us Hoosiers are a cautious bunch! :-)

I would think if you have 12ga wire running on the circuit now, you can swap out the 15A breaker with a 20A. Even though your lift motor is rated at 15A, I doubt it pulls that much when running, that is probably the stall current rating. I suggest you pull all but the last duplex out in the...

Check the breakers for the circuits losing or have lost power. If they are all on one side of your breaker panel it sounds like you are losing one of the hot lines (120v) coming into the panel. You will need your electric company to diagnose/fix the issue. I had this happen years ago. One of...

I just putting the finishing touches on my web page documenting how I built some garage cabinets. Here are a couple pictures of one, closed and opened. and here is the link to my page http://www.wanderingsol.comule.com/Pages/GarageCabinet.html

If I had a design in the pattern, I would have started from the center of the garage with the row parallel to the overhead doors. Since I did not have a design, I started with a full row (and ramp sections) at the overhead doors and parallel to them. This meant I would cut tiles along two...

In the four houses I've lived in Indiana, the romex came out of the wall then loose under the dishwasher to a metal box on the washer. Inside the box is where the wires were connected with wire nuts. Your code may be different.

There is a hot wire touching the fence or the stands somewhere and he provided a good conductor to ground by touching both.

I have a free flow floor system, not RaceDeck though. When snow melts off the cars it flows through to the concrete floor and evaporates. I no longer step into black puddles! As for cleaning, I use a vacuum sweeper and do the floor when needed. It appears to **** up the loose dirt through the...

I painted the walls and ceiling of my 22'x24' garage white to increase brightness. Next step is to add 5 more 4' fluorescent lights to my existing 6. Never seen a garage with too much lighting.

I got the one from Sears, it is hanging from the ceiling, never had an issue in 10 years.

I did that as a test, just tiled a 18'x8' pad for one car and used it for a year before doing the rest of the garage. The only issue I had was moving it when there was nothing on it. Car was out of the garage and I sorta kicked it and it moved. I just grabbed an edge and put it back in place...

I have a two car attached with walls and ceiling dry-walled. Walls are not insulated, only one wall in common with house. No utilities in garage. I insulated the ceiling with 4" fiberglass and now my garage temp is much more moderate and does not drop below 32 ever.
