Not exactly garage, (could be if you have finished areas), but you guys are so darn smart I had to ask. Paint chipped off the wall so of course I picked on it a little. Is this mold?

Electric furnace is struggling to keep temp. Air coming from the duct is cool-lukewarm. Rheem unit. Air filter is clean, coil element in the duct is clean. There are two circuit breakers on the unit. CB1 powers the brains and 1/3 of the heating elements. CB2 looks to just power 2/3 of the...

I was looking at thread on another board, guy has "6 or 7 8ft sections of Fluorescent Light fixtures. These have been used in my old garage and I just don't need them any more. The ballasts are Triad B432I120RH-4 (F32 T8) and the bulbs are all Phillips F32 T8 700 Series 32 watt (Hg) Also...

Hey guys, long time no see. I sheetrocked/drywalled (5/8") the 3 car that is attached to the house this past weekend and wondered if the new lower angle of the rails and specifically the opener would create any problems? Both openers and bars seem to be at a pretty big angle now, tracks don't...

I currently have a 30x30 with 10' side walls. On one side, I would like to put up a lean-to/carport area to store stuff and maybe park the trailer or DD. I would like the area to be 10-12' wide, the length of the building. Pitch would have to be minimal, like maybe even a 2/12 to be able to...

since free parking is no longer, thought that I would put this in here for people to read/buy If you have kids, nieces, nephews, etc that still believe in Santa Claus, this is a great gift for them, and for a great cause at the same time. The volunteers take the fields as you have filled them...

I've seen where people have clearcoated emblems and such into their floors, but how hard do you think it would be to clearcoat a decal or a poster into a fridge door? If clearcoating a poster, should it be laminated first?

Picked up a fridge for the shop today. It's ok the way it is, but I may liven it up a bit with a fresh paint job, some vinyl graphics, signage, unique finish, who knows. Post up pics of your fridge if it has a non-standard finish or ideas of what I could possibly do to Brown Betty to liven her...

I'm going to be putting up a full height wall to "partition" off a dedicated storage area in the shed. The speedbump that I am at is how long to make the wall. Option A is what I would prefer in order to cheat a few more feet of open floor space, but Option B (being able to tie into the next...

I need to cut a bit off the end of the countertop. All I have to work with is a circular saw. Should I score the laminate with a razor knife first to avoid chipping? Would a fine tooth circular saw blade help?

was thinking about making a desk/worktop out of a section or two of countertop.... the catch being that it is bracketed to finished wall studs instead of built on a base. Nothing heavy going on it, maybe a computer monitor, some DIY books, car manuals, etc. anyone else do this? How did it work out?

(for those who do), What are you guys using to cover your windows in your garages to keep the local riffraff from making a shopping list? curtains? blinds? reflective film?

We got the floor poured Saturday, it was in the 70s last weekend during the day, lows in the mid 50s Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Now, being typical Missouri weather, it monsooned 3" of rain last night, and we are expecting a high today of only 55, and lows tonight just below freezing. Temps...

hopped onto craigslist, found someone local that has over 90 baby food jars for .10 each.. majority are 2.5-3.5" tall. guess I'll snag them up and try them out for misc. storage, if I don't like them, no big loss...

We have propane heat in the house, the supply line runs right in front of the shed (in line with the orange paint). How exactly do I tee into the line, and what do I need to correctly install a line that I can cap off for future use inside the shed?

any pros/cons over the regular lift handle ones?

30x30 polebarn, pic below, newb questions, don't laugh... on the floor drain: Do I just run the pvc from where it's going to be, out under the ground stringer board on the side of the shed to where I want to end it? Size? 4" SCH40? The drain isn't going to be used but to maybe wash a car...

best way? gorilla glue the bigger pieces? make a form and just re-pour the top parts that are broken off? :(
