Hey guys I have a cracked 2x6 rafter in my screened in porch. In the past when I've sistered rafters I've used construction adhesive to bond the sistered rafter to the damaged one, along with bolts. These rafters are all painted though, in a yellow latex paint. Do I have to somehow strip...

Just finished my 3 bay garage, have a pile of projects lined up. I park cars in all three bays...Actually bay 3 will be getting a 4 post so I can get all 4 cars inside during the winter months. How do you guys spray paint stuff in the garage? I am terrified of getting paint all.over...

Seems like the blue one is half price at this moment for some reason on Amazon. Free shipping too. I just bought one a few mins ago. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s?k=gv50bpro

I'm paranoid about water. Is this helpful or just a waste?

Need some track lights for my attached mudroom - not exactly a garage but part of my garage build. Thought I'd check in here and see what folks like before I head to the depot and grab whatever looks like it will work. I'll need to use the real track and head style not the all in one...

Just finished terminating my garage sub panel. A few tips that are probably obvious to pros but not to us weekend warriors. 1. Locate the panel at a height that is comfortable for you to work on. Mine had to be a little higher than I would have liked with meant 3 hours on a ladder to...

Local code requires greenies, but only a 12 GA will fit thru the hole. Can I just use a tan nut? Or do they make a 10ga greenie? I don't have a Buchanan crimper Thanks

Gents, I wiring up my new garage. I have a 4 gang box that has 6 12/2 and a 12/3 in it, which will be getting 4 switches. That is a lot of ground conductors to tie together, and pigtails to make. Any tips on doing this in a neat and tidy way? Wago connectors? Pics are appreciated! Sent from...

Gj friends, I'm wiring a subpanel for my attached 3 car. I have a square d homeline main breaker panel I got at the depot for short $, even came with a few breakers. I know I could have used a main lug panel, but thought it would be convenient to have the breaker as a disconnect. Anyway: I...

About to break ground on a 48x24 3 bay with attached mudroom. Question on siding: my house has the original cedar planks from the 1930s. I've been told the new cedar is not properly dried and won't hold paint...I'll be repainting every 3 to 5 years. No thanks... Can anyone corroborate this...

Hey all, I am building a new garage and need some advice. It will be a 3 bay. I'm limited to a 36 x 22 internal footprint. I'm in the Boston area if that matters. My goals are: In the summertime, park the wifes SUV, my 911, and a to-be-purchased (and restored) 914 in the garage. My DD is...

Thinking about buying this lift, but the seller says he can't find a model number on it. He also claims 6000lb capacity and 48" lift (roughly) which is perfect for me. I'd go check it out but it's a 4 hour ride 1 way -- worth it if I'm gonna pick it up, not just to check it out though. Any...

Hi All, First post! What an awesome forum. I have an 84 911, I'll be removing the drivetrain this winter to repair the first and second gear synchros in the transaxle plus refresh some oil seals, and repair an oil cooler line and and and and.... A mid-rise scissor is the way to go for me, and...
