    Harbor Freight Toolbox

    I'm sorry if this has been asked before and I know there are many topics about this toolbox, way too many to weed through to find the answer. Where is the 44" toolbox made? Reason I ask is I live in Canada and to go down for the day to pick this up I could potentially be charged an extra tax...

    HRV troubleshooting

    I have a Vanee 90H HRV. When I plug it in it goes through the boot sequence and then flashes amber telling me it's a damper problem.

    Absolutely Lost

    I'm building a 26x48 shop which is 1248sq'. I bought 4 rolls of 300' pex and finished laying it out tonight. Looks like I'm going to be short about 150'. After reading on here I know that all loops need to be close to the same length. I don't even know what to do now. Do I change the layout to...

    Insulation and concrete form?

    Well I have a couple questions. First one is do I include the insulation into the form or do I just put it up to the concrete after the pour and backfill around it? What's the best way? Second question is would OSB be sufficient for making the form if supported properly?

    Drains

    So does anyone think I need a drain in my shop when I'm putting in-floor heat? Someone told me I don't need them unless I plan on washing vehicles in there which I don't. Pros and cons?

    Hi, I did a search and after many hours of reading through some interesting threads I didn't find my answer. Many of you have used infloor heat in your shops which I intend to as well.

    Stick vs Post and Beam

    I am building a 40 x 30 shop this summer. I have been looking around at many different threads to get ideas. I keep coming across post and beam constructed shops. This might be the way to go for me as then I could pour the concrete the following summer. I don't know anything about post and beam...
