A week ago I had the garage floor of my new house (2004) coated by Nate of Garage Force. Garage was totally empty and the floor was in great condition to start with. He came out a week prior and performed several moisture readings and then prepared and quoted 420 sq ft including the curbing...

My new-to-me house came with a water softner....but instead of being in the laundry room or basement, it is in the garage. House is a ranch on a slab, no crawl space, no basement. I am having the garage floors coated in 2 weeks and I want to disconnect the softener so the whole floor can get...

New to me garage in a newer (2004) built house. Thinking of Dreamsicle colors of cream on top, a soft tangerine orange strip, and a minty pea-soup green on the bottom. The cream and green were inspired by a 1940's-1950's fat fendered motorcycle. I was getting tired of garage-gray. On...

This is in the garage of a house we are attempting to buy. Don't own the house yet so I can't really take it apart to find out much about it, other than it says Broan on the face and its about 10"x12". Anyone familiar with these please clue me in.

Not every post needs a off topic response, and some posts are just begging for a response, then maybe a reply or two. I think 3 should be the limit....after 3, you are sending a thread off track and spoiling the original intent of the thread. So if there have already been 3 responses that are...

I'm remodeling a bathroom. The double vanity was removed, 4 under-sink shutoff valves were cleanly cut off the copper pipes with a tubing cutter so the vanity could be pulled. A plumber sweat-soldered caps so the water in the house could be turned on during the renovation. I'm ready to...

Picked this up at an Estate Sale yesterday. I'm guessing WWII vintage. 48 drawers... VERY HEAVY even with all the drawers out

Estate Sale had these marked at $40 each. Not enough interest at that price so they made them $20 each. Sunday was the last day of the sale and everything was half off. So I picked up this pair of lateral files for $10 each. Just need to get another set of wheels under the one so they are same...

If you're in the market to have some work done on your garage, here are a few tips to help you with your quotes. 1) ask random strangers on the World Wide INteRwEB if the price you got is fair, but don't bother to list your location. 2) Don't include all the specs at first. Its more fun to...

I have three 8 ft twin-tube fluorescent fixtures on my garage ceiling. I am replacing the old ballasts with electronic ones. I made the mistake of starting this project a long time ago, getting away from it, but now want my lights to work again! Line power comes in at the south end of the...

I've heard of this site from the Ford Barn and other car forums I belong to, and I just bumped into it again while searching for info on some old Sun diagnostic equipment. So I'm a bit burned out on working on Mustangs over the last few decades and thought I'd try my hand at working on...
