    Can't find any info on my compressor.

    The guy I bought my house from left me a compressor. It is kind of built into a closet and not easy to access. He did not give much info on it, but he thought it was possibly used in a dental office previously. I am unable to even find the company online. I would like some general maitnence...

    Vented vs non vented gas fireplace.

    Not exactly in my garage.... But installed in the original, wood burning, fireplace of the house. We have been here over a year. Used it a few times, but always opened the chimney up to vent it. In the winter you can actually feel the heat from the house heading right up the chimney. Curious if...

    What finish for my deck?

    Its not in my garage, but behind it. The deck went about 6years with no finish. Last summer I power washed it and it really cleaned up nice. About three weeks ago I cleaned it with a standard deck cleaner and brush. Let it dry out a couple days and stained it with a BEHR solid color water proof...

    Alright guys... Please go easy on me hah. I have a much to small for me 2 car garage. I want to this spring/summer put on a 12x20 possibly a 14x20 (if I can) addition to my current garage. I have an idea of what it will look like in my head, but need to transfer that to paper. Once the snow...

    Good price on a HF toolbox?

    Looking at picking up this 16 drawer box tomorrow. Seems like a great price at $370. Do they get much lower than this? http://t.harborfreight.com/26-in-16-drawer-glossy-red-roller-cabinet-combo-67831.html

    Allen wrench holders

    I bought a craftsman tool set end of last year. The Allen wrenches came in some fancy craftsman ziplock bags. I figured I could deal with it. Well it's driving me insane!:willy_nil Anyone know where I can find just the holders like the ones that come with them here...

    Moisture in heater vent?

    I turned on my garage heater for the first time in a couple weeks. It is a 45k natural gas hot dawg. My vent comes about 11" off the back of the heater into a capped T then straight up and out the roof. When I turned it on water dropped from the T. Not a lot, not even enough to fill my hands. Is...

    Epoxy floor tips and tricks...

    The PO of my home put an epoxy finish in the garage. I love the look. However.... This stuff is slicker than snot on a door knob when it gets wet. Also this winter its gotten very very dirty very quickly. I love the spring summer I can just blow the floor out with my compressor to clean. What...

    Garage Fridge

    With the extreme cold we have been getting I am understanding why a garage fridge has a hard time in the winter. I have heat in the garage but I have only been turning it on when I work out there. It is a two car, attached and insulated. My thermostat does not show any temp below 40degrees so I...

    Never Wired A thermostat before

    Alright I guys. I am a virgin with heating and cooling and looking at the manual makes no sense to me. I have a Modine hot dawg with terminals Y, G, W, R, C. I have a honeywell programable thermostat showing terminals G, W, C, Y, R, RC. My understanding is that I need to run wires to and from...

    Gas Fireplace

    No I do not have a gas fireplace in my garage. I have just come to realize there is to much knowledge on these forums not to ask home questions as well. Last year I purchased my first house. It came with a gas fireplace already installed. It appears to just be a burner with ceramic type logs. It...

    Garage attic insulation

    I have a finished garage. The attic has no existing insulation. I just got a pretty good deal on some un-faced insulation. Is it okay to use this? Again there is nothing in my attic. Just the studs, drywall and can lighting. The attic is well vented and has good air flow.

    Shop Vac Recommendations

    I purchased my first house last winter and have slowly been building my tool collection. One thing I always seem to be borrowing is a shop vac. I think its time I get my own. The one I have borrowed is a 6.5hp large rigid. I hear great things about the rigid vac and think they are priced well. I...

    Fold down work tables

    A while back I saw some fold down work tables that appeared to fold flat into the wall of a garage/shop. I love my garage, but could really use a work space like this. A good size table that folds into the wall and takes up no space when not in use.... Sign me up. Anyone have plans for such a thing?

    blown in insulation

    I am looking to use some blown in insulation in my garage this summer. Everything else has been insulated and finished. Just need to add to the attic. Looking it over and watching some videos it seems like a very easy job. My only question is about the can lighting in my garage. I have 9 LED can...

    Garage thermostat

    I am moving into a house with a nice fully finished garage. I have decided to go with a 45k btu Hot Dawg. When looking, I do not see a lot of digital thermostats used. Is there a reason? I have been looking at a bunch of $30-60 digital single stage thermos. It doesnt have to be programable, just...

    Is it worth it to go bigger?

    I believe I have narrowed my search down to a modine hot dawg heater for my garage. I have a 700sqft fully insulated (walls, door and 10' ceilings) garage with epoxy floors. It would be nice to keep it 50-60 degrees when I'm in it, and 40 when I'm not. I believe a 30,000btu would do the job...
