I can't get any reception in my Garage due to the ballasts in my lighting. Will adding an outside antenna to my old boom box work or will the interference still get in? I have an automotive antenna I was thinking of mounting outside on my Dish pole and running coax in from it. Will this work and...

At work we have a Bendpack 12000 lb 4 post Alignment lift with open front that has broken at least 3 cables in the last 5 years. It was installed in 2004 and original cables lasted quite a while. The sheeves were replaced last time as well. These cables look to be large enough to hold over 12000...

My trusses are 48" spacing and I want to use ADO Durovent which is 23.5" wide. What do you guys use to attach to trusses and to each other to span the 48"? I want to use blow in insulation in my 32x40 polebarn.

I have lived in this old house for 55 years,back when we had a gas water heater we had no problems,but after changing to electric the tanks fill up with deposits that look like white one inch gravel. This reduces the capacity which we can live with but we have continual failures of the lower...

This lift has one piece columns and you are to lay them down and install cables,hoses,and top bar and then raise it into position. How would you do it? I think its going to take at least 4 strong guys and then it could go on over it not careful. I thought about a cable and winch but this is in...

Its time to think about insulating my 32x40 polebarn and I found this online. Can a 5mm piece of foam with aluminum on both sides really work that well? Ive seen grocery bags with a liner like that.

My new GDO has a rail made of several pieces slid together and one is bent where it slides together causing the rail to bow and the trolley to stick. I was thinking of taking it down,straightening the bend,and welding the joints to make a solid rail. I see the professional door installers use...

Planning a 32X40X12 polebarn on a small budget. I would like to place it close to my house but there are 2 trees to deal with. A large Maple that would require trimming a few branches and a Walnut that would be within 3 feet and need a few lower branches removed. Can this be done or will the...
