When building my shop I ran a line set through the walls for a mini split. I ran a line set with 1/4" and 3/8" lines. I purchased a 24,000 BTU mini split recently and the line set it came with has 3/8" and 3/4" lines. What will be the impact of using the line set already installed in my...

I recently picked up a few cabinets at a 2nd hand store. I am wondering if anyone has found a good way to remove the dividers? I don't plan to remove all of them as I know that they add to the structure and stability of the drawers. Thanks! CAMM

About 7 years ago while our home was being built I plumbed my attached shop with PEX for air. There are 9 drops in the walls/ceiling connected to my 80 gallon compressor. Unfortunately, I have a leak somewhere that I cannot locate. I am losing about 30-40 PSI in a day. I turn the compressor...

I am in the process of building a shop (29'X30') with attic trusses and will be doing exterior stairs to the "bonus room". I am looking for recommendations of the best way to accomplish this. The rise is approximately 15'. I am thinking a small landing at the top and another part-way down (see...

I am about to start excavation of a 29X30 detached garage. As this is going into an existing landscaped yard, there is a sprinkler system that will need to be addressed. I don't know exactly where the sprinkler system lines run. Should I just let the excavation guy cut through the poly pipe and...

The time has come for an additional shop....a continuation (yet separate) of what I already have. I am blessed to have a motorcycle shop that I really enjoy, but need space for working on cars. I have a garage to park my daily drivers, now I need a place for project cars. Here is the CAMMShaft...

I am looking for a 1/4" flex quick release ratchet similar to the TRF72 without the hefty price tag. I cannot find such a ratchet in a mid range brand/price. It appears that Kobalt has one, but I am not sure how it compares from a quality perspective. Does anyone know if there are others out...

At the request of others, I agreed to share my thoughts and experience with the Husky 56” tool box. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-56-in-23-Drawer-Tool-Chest-and-Rolling-Cabinet-Set-Textured-Black-Matte-HOTC5623BB1S/206842294 This is a fairly new box to Husky’s line up which I believe was...

Hey compressor experts, I am wondering if any of you know anything about the Campbell Hausfeld model HS181000. It is an oiled, direct drive, two stage, 5hp, compressor that I am considering purchasing. I went and looked at it today. It builds pressure to 200 psi and it appears the tag says...

I am looking for some ideas of how to mount a motorcycle to the wall in my shop for the sake of decoration. It is a 1969 Hodaka Ace 100 that weighs about 170 pounds. It will be mounted to a wall that is 2X6 studs, 24" on center. Any ideas on the best way to do this? CAMM

After lurking for a few years and gleaning this forum for many spectacular ideas that I have incorporated into my own garage, I have finally decided to create a build thread of my own. I purchased a piece of property a few years ago to build a home with two attached garages; one for the cars...
