Looking for some advice from like-minded individuals on how to best replace this warped trim. **I do not need to know what caused it nor how to avoid it ** Our 12 year old insulated Clopay garage doors (2 double doors and a single door) have glued on decorative trim pieces that have seen better...

Over the weekend my dad accidentally backed into my mailbox. This created some nasty damage on his car and left me with a broken post. I wasn’t too worried about it until I went to remove the post today to replace it. The post appears to be some odd ball based on my hours of searching the...

I’ve got a 6yr old 10gal CAT-10020 air compressors that started acting up this weekend. At first I noticed the air compressor didn’t kick back on when the pressure dropped during use. Come to find out the breaker tripped and so I reset it (it was an odd thing to occur since only the TV and...

Question for the electrical aspects of the DIY kits. Does the 36K units require an 8 AWG wire to be ran or a 10 AWG? From what I’ve read previously everyone said 8, however, my electrician says otherwise. Read on.. I had an electrician come out today to provide an estimate for wiring. He...

Super excited that my unit has arrived! Waiting on a few more items for the install including a 10’ fan that will also be going in. I’ll update this post with my progress and experience with this system. For background the garage is ~1950 sq/ft, mostly 12' ceilings with a section that is...

I’m installing a mini-split soon and want to likely route the condensate line (and lineset) out from the side of the unit and up into my attic then out the soffit. I am curious what condensate pump options people have found to be useful with a mini-split and if this is even possible to do. If...

After the great feedback here I ended up ordering my Mr.Cool unit from Costco. I’ll create a new post when the project begins. Thanks to all for the feedback and advice. Stay tuned! — original message below — After 5yrs of procrastinating I am finally ordering a mini split for my garage...

Location: North Carolina Price: $30 + shipping I have two Liftmaster model number 380LM lights. One is new and the other was used. Will take $30 for both plus shipping. They work with a number of Liftmaster garage door openers. If interested send me your zip code for a shipping quote.

I’m finishing up a bonus room (about 850 sqft) that will have vaulted walls with a flat ceiling peak of 11’. At about 9’ I’ll have 5 wooden beams about 8-9’ long crossing the room spaced out fairly equally. Could I install bright dimmable 4’ led strip lights (say 2000 lumens each) facing...

I've invested in premium rubber and vinyl garden hoses after going through the cheap ones many times. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a good quality garden hose real that survives with these heavier hoses even if the hoses are empty. I only need to put 100' of hose on the reel, but...

I sheared off a bolt on my xpipe while installing it (2004 Ford Cobra) . The threads were garbage so I was expecting this. It's one of the bolts that attaches the xpipe to the catback. The bolt has a knurl and resembles a wheel stud. I've tried to hammer it out with a 3lb sledge and punch...

I currently have a 30gallon,6hp Craftsman that is 12yrs old. The unit works fine and looks like new as it has rarely been used. However, as you can imagine it's very loud. I've debated getting something newer now that I have a lift in the garage. It's likely I'll use the air tools more...

I've read through many posts on this, but I haven't been able to make progress towards finalizing a purchase. I just installed a Bendpak lift and will be doing average work using air tools. The Bendpak directions say I need a FRL so that's what I am after. I don't want to spend a lot (under...

I've got a lot of things that I want to organize and can't decide on whether to use peg board, slat wall, or shelves. I have your usual stuff...3 weed eaters, attachments, a backpack blower, bunch of garden tools, bikes, chainsaw, tires, etc. The wall has 2 windows with about 12' in between...

This is the one I am asking about . I'm considering this for my garage as I will be installing a lift next month. I am leaning to this over the ones with the built in tanks so I can more easily store this in my garage. I also want to spend less than $100 and avoid a plastic setup that can...

First and foremost I want to thank Jorgen and Shauna at SnapLock for answering all of my questions. Thanks also go out to my wife, Dad and friends (Mike, Anthony, John) that helped with installation this weekend. Words cannot describe how AWESOME this floor is in person. My goodness did it...

I'm getting ready to lay down some RaceDeck tiles (majority being graphite) in my garage soon and have shifted my focus to the concrete block walls that go all the way around my garage. I am considering getting 4" grey/black cove base and then painting the blocks either grey or black...

After countless months of research and help from many vendors on Garage Journal I decided to go with Race Deck in my garage. It's my dream garage with ~1,850sqft (L-Shape) and tall ceilings making it ready for a 4-post lift (ordering soon!). I plan on updating this thread with all the action as...

I picked up a used stainless steel sink for the garage off craigslist. It's a high quality piece and looks great. However there is a stubborn stain on it from what looks to be a water valve leaking over time. It had slight surface rust over the stain that came off easily. Anyhow, I've...

I finally got the urge to build a foldable workbench for my garage this week. After searching many threads on here and talking with the folks at the lumber store I thought I had learned enough to start my very first wood working project. I modeled my workbench after seeing an example they had...
