So I started installing some old kitchen cabinets in my garage yesterday...and the only screws I can get in one of the single cabinets are close of the left side of the cabinet. Is this sufficient, or do I need to move the cabinet to get the screws more to the center. This cabinet is next...

So check out my first real find. I helped my daughter's sensi move dojos this weekend, and he asked me if I wanted these 6 hole lockers...two of them, for free! Not sure how I will use them both yet...but likely as storage for my detailing products, fluids etc., but not sure. These look to...

I have a 10 x20 garage, yes its small, and only a 4x2 bench, yes its small, but I did not want to go bigger in my small space. I want to be able to use a bench grinder and vice from time to time, but I do not want to mount either to the bench permanently (remember its small). I saw this pic...

Guys, I am building a workbench for my garage. The plans call for a 3/4 in plywood shelf and doubled up 3/4 plywood top. Pricing out plywood and the difference between sanded plywood and sheathing plywood is pretty substantial. So what is the right option to use, the sanded or will sheathing...

This may have been done before, but there are lots of new guys lately. So what do you use your garage for. I am a die hard car guy, so mine is used to park and work on my 74 cuda, or any other car repairs. Jason

I have a small 20 X 10 attached garage. I currently have one circuit from the main panel that has 3 outlets and two lights on it. I am planning to rewire the garage in the near future and want to make sure I am on the right track. My plan is to run a sub panel to the garage, and run separate...

So, any tips for sealing up an attached garage. Had to run the hotrod for a little bit tonight, and could not pull it out of the garage, and now the wife swears she can smell the exhaust in the house. I think I can too! It could just be from opening the house door, but maybe not. The house...

A 3 for 1 post for me.:D I want to insulate my attached garage. First I need to tackle the wall attached to the house. Yes its insulated, but its 40 years old, so it could be upgraded a bit. That and I need to replace some of the drywall anyway. Is it acceptable to the vapor barrier on...
