I know this has been covered before, but I thought I would make a few comments, and show a few pictures. As some of you are aware, I put VCT in my main garage 7 years ago when I bought my house. The Build-out is covered here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128013 I like...

I was gifted this box, that is exactly like the one stolen from my dad in the late 70's. I have done some research, but can't find this exact box. It was my friend's fathers, who worked for Curtis Wright for 40 years. Not going to sell it, but am curious to the value. The following tools...

I have three vents on my house, all the same, one for the dryer, and one each for the bathroom vents. They are cheap white plastic, but all more than 30 feet in the air. I can't reach them, no ladder big enough, and I am unwilling to climb that high anyhow. That said, they are accessible from...

The GFI in my garage seems to have gotten weak, or I am drawing more power than I used to. If I plug in my 1500 watt oil heater it will pop the circuit breaker. I run lots of other high draw items, like a 110V MIG welder, plus a fan and never an issue. Same with my other power tools and at the...

A recent post gave me the idea to highlight the best, and the worst, or just average, service department photos. This is the bus barn for one of our contractors. Tune garage where I got my tune installed a few years ago. My new R1200GS being assembled at the dealer: What do you have?

I have wanted to do this for a while, and finally got the OK from the wife. Actually, she told me she wanted to park in the garage, so this is the plan. I plan on a 12X16 extension to my 20X20 garage. It will be my workshop area, and I can use the garage when needed. The motorcycle lift will be...

My AC condenser fan, the one on the outside unit, is hanging up when it tries to kick in. If I bang on it hard and spin it I can get it to go, and then it runs fine, until it kicks off again. If it is not trying to run it spins very freely. When it tries to run it makes a loud buzzing noise and...

I know most of you do not live near me, and many more do not have motorcycles, but I would like to invite any who wish to join us. It is always interesting and a good time. It is time to start planning the 5th Annual JVB Tech Day. It is open to ALL BIKES! This year it will be April 23, 2016 at...

What is the best way to do this without harming plants? Here is my fence: As you can see it is looking rough. I would like to clean and stain/seal it so that it retains a fresh look. Pressure wash and spray water based stain and sealant? Thanks,

I'm looking for a kit for a wood or aluminum sun room, or even a good set of plans. I would like to build it myself, and want to make it about 16X12. I will likely start with screens, but it needs to be convertible to glass (sliders or windows) in the future. My limit is $10K initially. No floor...

Now we have banner adds on the main page top and bottom? If so, how do we stop them. I miss-clicked on the damn things twice in 5 minutes.

Not looking to bash on any company, person or choice, but am curious who really regrets epoxy floors, cheap or expensive, doesn't matter? If you do not want to comment, that is fine, just be honest.

So, I have the pillars: I have the brick (pavers at 3.88 X 7.81 X 1.75 inches): I am going to attach them to the pillar with mortar. Do I wet the block first? Do I use a notched trowel, and if so, what size notches? Di I apply a scratch coat, or is that necessary? Thanks in advance for...

I saw it at an estate sale today.

I can log in using Chrome, but the site wont even come up for IE. I hadn't done anything when this started. EVERYTHING else on every other site works fine. I cleared my cache and even reset IE but get nothing for GJ! Suggestions?

How do you handle them with the least amount of mess? If possible, I would prefer to push these in with minimal damage and paint touch-up. So, what tricks do you have? Thanks,

I was recently asked if a motorcycle table lift was worth the cost? "It takes up space, you won't use it for you bike much, you don't need it to change tires, etc." Why bother? Well, I said: I use mine extensively. I use it for lifting my bikes for repairs and detailing: I use it for...

My wife and I went to an estate sale in Potomac, MD this morning. I made a couple cool purchases: This is the garage, which, of course, made me drool: Want to guess what is under the cover? Some of the prices were not very good. I did pick up these though: And...

I'm in the beginning stages of designing an outdoor kitchen. It will be basic, just a grill and a bar/table design. My plan is to build it from steel framing, and cover it in cement board, then stucco, or a tile product. The top will be either a concrete counter, or cement board with a granit or...
