I am preparing to install a two-post lift in my garage. Since I was not the original builder (built in 2001, builder is now deceased), I wanted to verify the placement and amount of rebar in the slab. I also wanted to verify the location of a 1/2" copper water line that passed through the...

I took some time to measure the spacing of various wrench organizers, as I’m constantly trying to balance the competing goals of easy, visible access and wasted space. Since I have tried them all, I figure this info might help others choose. Here is the spacing between wrenches of most...

For some reason I do! I realize there are much better and more advanced tape measures out there, but for the type of work I do (automotive fabrication and light carpentry), combined with some nostalgia, I really like these. I have seen 1-2 other configurations over the years in images or...

I’m filling out the permit application to add a hard-wired Level 2 EV charger and need to decide whether a trench is necessary. Relevant info: 2017 NEC code cycle, Pennsylvania USA, 40 amp branch circuit on 240v split phase residential power, fed from a sub panel in the garage. I will add an...

There is a 54" wide x 29" deep Snap-on KRL box currently for sale in Ohio that appears to be a KRL7022 + KRL1201 size box except it has all full-width drawers. It appears to be genuine, and either factory built or a well executed modification. Has anyone seen a box like this before? I sent a...

Basics: Air compressor in a closet under the stairs of a concrete two-story residential garage as illustrated below. 2017 NEC; 240v split phase residential power; copper THHN in EMT conduit. I want to control the compressor with three way switches, one upstairs where I primarily work and one...

I have been meaning to start a thread to document the progress on my new-to-me 28x38 garage. My fiance and I bought the house in November 2020 outside of Pittsburgh with a detached, two-story 5-car garage! The garage was originally built in 2001 by a guy named Ed, who was legally blind. I...

I’m looking for a 9mm ratcheting wrench that matches the length pattern of my Craftsman USA set. From the part numbers, craftsman skipped the 9mm entirely and never made one. I’ve tried an Armstrong and Gearwrench and they’re both too long. Blue point is listed at 150mm, and I need something...

I’m pretty sure what I found is not up to code, but I wanted to confirm before I swap breakers. Are there any exceptions to the code I’m not aware of? Or do 20 amp circuits always require 12ga wire? Details: Detached residential garage built in PA, USA in 2001. Dedicated lighting circuits with...

I have a 6-50 receptacle adjacent to my panel, shown in the attached picture. It's primarily for a welder (I know NEC allows smaller conductors for welders), but not technically a dedicated outlet. I used 6awg THHN because I had it laying around. Protected with a 50amp breaker. The two 6awg...

I’m looking for a long #2 Phillips Craftsman screwdriver to match the red ones in the attached photo. Also interested in a matching #3 Phillips and a large flathead, I’m not sure if they ever made any of these styles.

I would like to paint the ceiling in the basement of my garage. This is the steel decking below a concrete slab for the garage above. It was originally painted gray when it was built in 2001, but I would like to paint it white to brighten the room a bit. I don’t have a lot of experience with...

I ordered some Ghostshield 4500 + 8510 to seal the floor in my garage (380 sq foot tandem). I moved everything out to scrub away what I thought was just dirt and crud, but it appears to be a thin film of dried mortar. I assume it's from block work done on the walls when the garage was built ~20...

I have a variety of 3/4" drive sockets available in a lot, all made in USA. They're in mediocre but usable condition, the 1-1/2" socket is pretty well worn. US only, Paypal only, $25 shipped in a USPS flat rate box.

I had a Miller digital elite mask for ~10 years and it broke a few months ago, so I replaced it with another Miller. I bought the Infinity ClearLight Lens 280045 from Cyberweld. Immediately after using it, my eyes hurt while welding. It isn't welders flash (headache, sandy/bloodshot/water...

I'm in the process of buying 5 car 1/2 bath garage with a detached house! Pittsburgh, PA area; built in 2001; block/brick construction with a trussed 8/12 roof and attic access. In general all of the wiring is in conduit, mostly PVC but it's mixed with some EMT. The house has a 200amp service...
