Can anyone in the Phoenix area suggest or refer , a gutter company to do my 24x32 shop? I just got a ridiculous quote from Leaf Filter-$2998 before discounts, after $2064! I think that's ridiculous for 2-34' straight runs with 1 downspout each. TIA

Giving up the "Small, messy carport to garage" to my wife's SUV in a few months. Moving on up, from 243 sq ft to 768 sq ft! 32 years after buying a home with a large enough lot to build a detached garage/ workshop, it's finaly going to happen! 6 months after starting the permit process, three...

Cleaning out a retired service vehicle at work, I found a discarded Western Electric Fire Dept/Warden call box, not old enough to be vintage, that appears to have a pushbutton on the side to open it, but the button won't budge. I've tried a little gentle persuasion, but don't want to damage it...

Asking all to take a moment or two of your time to honor and remember our good friend, Steve Church this Sunday, June 7th. Might even want to put in a little special QST. Hard to believe it's been a year already!

I'm a glutton for 5 gallon buckets. No fancy storage, just somethin easily movable you can throw cutoffs, scraps, what have you, in. Rather than spend $5 at one of the box stores for a non-UV resistant POS, if you live near a Firehouse Subs, they accept a $2 donation and give one of their FOOD...

Been messing with a high current DC PNP proximity sensor that doesn't seem to have any output and I need some diagnostic help. The wiring in the vehicle is a little sketchy and I don't have a vehicle wiring diagram as it's an older truck with an upfitted hydraulic bucket lift. The "boom up"...

I owe the impetus to go ahead with this project to Falcon67. I noticed he responded on a thread I was reading ( JohnT's "Through the wall A/C recommendations" and when I saw his pics there I also followed his link to his new shop build where he has 2 window units installed in his new shop...

Has anyone tried a "window/through the wall' A/C heatpump? I would like a unit for my 18x19 garage to make it workable year round( Phoenix area). Local online dealer has 12K units for $365 in Frigidaire and LG, but only offers a 90 day warranty. Garage has no windows, 16x7 metal door with 2"...

I've always wanted an all metal table for welding and fabrication projects, But lack of space and $$$, as always, held me back until I saw one listed on CL for much less that the price of buying the metal itself, so I broke down and drove across town at 6AM to get it. Ended up being 72"x 30", so...

I have a twin cylinder, 6HP, 60 gal. Professional Series vertical compressor, model number VT616300AJ, pump number VT232605KB. It looks like new as it's always been in the storeroom off my garage. Built in 1994. lost compression about 6 weeks ago I tried the CH parts website and didn't find a...

Heat your garage with wood? Does it take too much time to cut all that wood to keep the place warm in the winter? Maybe you need one of these to speed things up: http://www.musclecarszone.com/australian-v8-chainsaw-powered-by-253-ci-holden/

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that since Harbor Freight started loaning tools to various publications for testing and getting glowing reviews back, that their prices have increased 20-30%? It seem that what used to be retail prices is now the sale price.

At the urging of a couple GJ friends, I’ve decided to start a thread about my small, messy garage. When we bought our home, it was listed a no garage and no patio. As we approached the property with the realtor, I couldn’t help but notice a double garage door at the front of the house. Upon...

Been hanging around for a few months. Posted a thread in tools, so I decided it was time to say hello. Lots of fantastic shops and ideas. Makes me embarrassed of my extremely messy and small converted carport. Needs cleaned out and reorganized. Haven't had the time for almost 10 years( my two...

Hi. After lurking here for a while, I decided to start a thread about my 12" Craftsman Bandsaw. Been wanting a vertical bandsaw for some time to help with metal fabrication, but the cost of such a saw was too prohibitive. Youtube and other forums had examples of speed reduction devices so a...
