I borrowed a truck with a lift gate and finally moved my compressor to my home garage from a buddies shop. I have rubber feet for the bottom and I'm not sure how to lift this thing up to get the pallet out and get the feet on. It weighs 700lbs so I thought I could use my engine hoist but now I...

I need to do some work on my F150 and need to remove some of these jiffy-tite connectors. I figure it's time to buy a kit. Any recommendations on what to buy? A lot of these tools out there with mixed reviews. Thanks!

I have the worst luck sometimes. I borrowed a lift from a friend, he dropped it off in my garage so I can finish my ceiling. I'm tired of ladders. He said something was strange, the throttle control only seem to work if you pushed forward or backward about 7/8ths otherwise nothing would...

Hey guys, Looking for ideas on how to get this thing home... It's about 7 feet tall and heavy, probably 750lbs. I have an F150 and a snowmobile trailer. Can you lay this on it's side or does it need to stay standing up for some reason? I'm pretty sure I can use my engine hoist to get it...

I have this double wall oven that came out of my house during a renovation. I tried to sell it and nobody wanted it so I moved it to the garage and built a plug for it. We use it for parties and it works great! It's currently sitting on a HF dolly so I can move it but it's awkward and feels...

Long story shortened... I bought a Millermatic 211 Mig welder a couple years ago in anticipation of replacing the floor and some metal parts in my 67 Mustang. I then bought a snowmobile and dove headfirst into that for the past few years and didn't get the welder fired up. I'm finally almost...

I have this room that was built above the workshop in my garage that currently has a small HVAC system to heat the workshop area. I want to turn this into a sort of man cave living room and I'm looking for creative ideas for a ladder... I was thinking some kind of library ladder that I could...

Hi All, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one. I plan to use it for temp rise when I'm working out there, otherwise it will be off. I called and this was the size they recommended. My garage is 28x54x15 with uninsulated rollup doors and windows. Any other units I should be...

Just when I thought I had it all figured out I'm a little confused by this diagram. I understand the switch needs a neutral to run the light but its not 100% clear if this is where the wires go. And this is how I think the wiring should be installed: Does that look right? :shocking:

I read through some of the other recent posts about this but I'm still a little confused on what I would need. I don't have the compressor yet but I'm planning on buying the 2 Stage Harbor Freight. It says its a 5hp and requires a 40amp breaker...

These seem cheap enough at $2.69 if I buy 10+ from HD. Any reason I should be looking at something else? I'm going to install 20-30 of these in various single and double gang boxes around the garage. I plan to run a couple circuits with 12/2 and using GFI 20amp breakers alternating between the...

I ran 6/2 wire before I had bought a welder thinking I would need a 50amp breaker for the welder. I've now decided to buy a Millermatic 211 and the instructions say to use a max breaker of 30amp. So now my dilemma is that 6 gauge wire won't fit into a 30amp breaker. I see two options: 1...

Never done this before... Just triple checking so I don't do it wrong. :D I'm wiring up a new 20amp circuit for T5 lights. I have the romex run to the bottom of the panel. This is the garage panel which has a 100amp feed to a subpanel at the house. I'm going to flip the top main breaker to...

I'm starting to plan out my attack and I'd love to be able to do a 4 post lift in the back and a 2 post lift in front of it. I need to be careful how far forward I place the 4 post due to the stairs above. The biggest thing I will probably have on the lift is a 66 GTO which is a little more...

Short version - My wife and I closed on this place today! :thumbup: Long version - My wife was getting tired of parking in the driveway due to my 67 Mustang project and suggested we buy a vacation home with a big garage. :beer: This place is perfect for us, it has a huge garage and a decent...

I currently have a metal rack with 5 shelves that hold all this stuff. It looks terrible and it's impossible to find and see what I really have. I'd like to hide this in a closed door cabinet or something along those lines. I never see any of this stuff in all the garage pictures...

I'm looking at building a 26x26 detached garage to work on my toys in. This isn't a place I'm going to go out into everyday, maybe 2-3 days/nights a week. Saying that, I don't want to pay to heat/cool a place I'm not going to be in for days a time. My plan is to just to permanently mount a...
