I've got a 20X30 detached garage in Tempe, and I'm debating putting a carport off to one side. It'd be attached to the concrete on one end, and just be a simple roof with a very mild slope. Question is, would I need a permit to do something like this in AZ?

I was at the optometrist today, and I saw an ad for garagetown.com. Long story short, it's a condo development of only garages. Looks like a lot of people use it primarily for storage, but some guys are building small offices in there and stuff. 24X48, 16X48, seems kinda neat. Not sure how...

Prepare for a long story. I work for a fleet maintenance company with 5 techs, and I'm the office manager in the back who wrenches on stuff when he can. Up until a few months ago, we only had a Snap-On guy coming by the shop, but then one of the guys literally chased down a Mac truck, and...

Back in October I moved into a new house with a detached garage. The house a/c unit is a gas unit, and was on the fritz, so we spent $3800 to get a 3.5 ton 13 seer a/c and gas heater unit, installed, out the door. The house is 1303 square feet. My garage is a 20X30 detached, and the roof...

A buddy of mine told me he saw on either Trucks or Musclecar or something, a transmission jack adapter that went into your standard jack. It drops right in the hole in your standard jack, and then you don't have to buy a dedicated ****** jack. Any idea where to find that?

The property I live on right now has this really cool backyard setup. I've got my 20X30 garage that's air conditioned and is accessible through the back alley. Then I've got my two sidelots, with these two mammoth gates. Problem is, the gates ****. See the original owner built them one way, and...

I'm an office manager at a bus shop here in the Phoenix Area. We've got 5 mechanics, so we're a pretty small shop, but we get by ok. I've been here a year or so now, and when I first started, I inquired about prices on boxes. I've been looking to get a new toolbox for a long time now, but I've...

Ok guys, frequent lurker here, rare poster. I'm a bit OCD with my tools, meaning I'm a big fan of matching sets and I'm a big fan of organization. I recently picked up some Hansen socket trays for my tool cart, but I'm finding that I can't fit all of the sockets in there I want to complete the...

I bought a 220v Craftsman professional compressor a few years back, and I was super happy with it. After a year or two, it started making a squeaking noise with turn on, but it still worked. Then yesterday, it just stopped working. Well I tested it all, and going down the chain everything has...

Just got my first house, and it's a doozy. 20X30 detached garage in the back yard, one 15X36 parking pad and another 15X40 pad on the other side, both with huge gates for access. Oh and it's got a hoist in the middle of the garage. I'll be doing a buildup thread soon, just have to get in...

My 20X20 is getting pretty tight right now, plus the homeowners/city aren't too happy with me. Anyone in AZ have a connection for commercial rentals?

I live in a neato little community run by a facist home owners association, so working with them can be a pain. On the side on my house, I have a 10X50 ft sidelot that I'd like to pour concrete in, and then make a little path to go to the garage. The thing is, I'm not huge on most pavers, so...

I've got some minor sheetmetal bending to do soon, and my buddy with the 48" brake isn't answering his phone. I found this brake at Harbor Freight, but I'm wondering if it's just junk or not. Anyone have any experience with these?

Ok I live in Phoenix, and it's hot as hell right now. 110 in the shade, and I've got to get some stuff done on my garage. Now I've tried swamp coolers before, but I just sweated up a storm with those. Big fans don't seem economical. Any ideas to help me out? Thanks.

Hey all, first time post here. I can give you my background if you want, but I'm a custom car guy and I love the site. I'm working on plans right now for a new garage, and this place is helping a LOT. Anyways, I have a ton of paint, and I need a firesafe cabinet to put it all. Any suggestions...
