So I bought this monstrosity from Lowes: https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-63-In-Patriotic-Workstation/5016397205 And since I have never transported something of this size and weight before, I have a couple of questions. I am going to use a flat bed trailer, but unsure if I should keep the...

I have a partially insulated attached three car garage @ 660sqft. I say partially insulated, because the room above it and the walls facing the interior of the home are insulated, but not the sides and it has a wooden garage door with windows. I am finding decent deals on 18k MiniSplits, but...

I have a wooden garage door from 1988, that I would like to replace the seals on. The bottom seal is nailed to the door. How would one remove this? Should I go for a bulb seal as a replacement ? The side seals have too much of a gap. What can I get out there to close any and all air gaps...

I bought this tool years ago, thinking I can one day use it to measure the brake pressure at my calipers. I am now realizing this was a test tool for GM Teves ABS systems. Looking at the adapter itself, what would I have to purchase out there so I can screw these into the typical Ford caliper?

I was recently given a condenser from an AC PRO Mini Split system and now I am seeking advice on what to do with this thing. My plan is to use it my garage, but since its missing the air handler/cassette, including the line set, I am not sure if this is any wiser than going with a complete...

Hey Guys, Please help me understand if my electrician did this correctly or not. In my garage, a 240v Nema 14-50 outlet was installed using a 1" conduit directly to the electrical panel outside using 6ga wire and a 60amp pull breaker (about 25ft in length I assume). Do I need a sub panel at...

Need an opinion from the pros here! Looking to coat a 2 car residential garage that will see oil changes, brake jobs, jack stands, floor jacks, etc... Gloss, Durability and Scratch resistance are equally important If you had to simply pick between the two (yes the floor will be diamond cut)...

I had sheet rock installed in my garage and now a few months later I decided to install the trim pieces for all the outlets and switches. To my disbelief this is what I found! Is there a painless work around here? Spacers? Thanks in advance! Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Hi Folks, I am looking to get my 2 car garage floor coated with either Epoxy or Polyurea/Polyaspartic and getting some conflicting information from local installers. One school of thought is that a high quality, high build (4 coats, 4 days to apply) traditional epoxy system will perform...

I am in the middle of insulating/air sealing and my garage including drywall as well. The attic space will have it's own O'hagin intake vents and a solar fan for exhaust. Climate = sunny and dry (LA), yet will remain an unconditioned space. Utilities = Two gas appliances (water heater and...

Hey guys, I'm about to insulate and drywall my garage and paying close attention to my east-facing wall because the sun is so against here in SoCal. Currently the original tar paper is broken up or missing in several spots. My guy said the right way to do this is to remove the wood siding on...

Hey Guys, I am looking to upgrade the lighting in a 2 car, 440sqft garage. Ideally, I would like to use 6" cans for the flush look and because I have a low ceiling (9ft). I'm on the fence on how many cans I would need and so far leaning towards at least 8 of them. Too little? The workbench...

Hey guys, My old matco shop light has been on the fritz, so I just pulled the transformer off the plug end and found that one of the contacts is broken. Can this be easily replaced? If not, how can I fix it? Thanks ! Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
