Hi all, I’m hatching plans to create a work shop for the wife in the basement. She retires from the Army in 2 years, but I want to set it up now before her 50th birthday...in less than 67 days. Everyone here is so creative; I’d like to lean on that creativity and set up a cool workshop for her...

I am a disabled vet and a couple of my friends I turn wrenches with are always in need of a way to blow off steam. Most of us have been diagnosed with PTSD...others are in denial. While tinkering with my daughters dune-buggy, I had an idea. Why not map out a path on my property where me and a...

I am presently renting a propane tank from a less than reputable company in Tampa (Heritage Propane). From price gouging on fuel to charging you a fee for picking up their own equipment, they have all the tricks covered. With that said I want to return their tank and buy my own. The tank I...

I was at Harbor Freight today as well as Home Depot and was torn between their 48-52" bottom tool box offerings. I then realized that on occasion people post deals that they have found. If anyone comes across an outstanding deal or coupon please shoot me a pm. :thumbup:

I have a 40x80 foot metal barn about 100 yards (300ft) from the house and I am trying to figure out the most cost effective way to get a wifi signal out to it. I don't need 20mbs speeds I just want to be able to access the web and look up howto YouTube videos and stream Pandora while working...

My wife wants to kick my beloved Malamute out the house and off the porch because of the excessive shedding and gas :shocking: Well I can't/won't put him outside without an alternative so that means I have to come up with something close to the house. If anyone has built an insulated dog house...

Bear with me; I am in the midst of finding a 2 post lift for my barn. It has a decent width with 3 openings. I plan to put a lift in the middle, but want the widest lift possible (if there is such a thing)Meaning with the lift unoccupied I would like to be able to drive a dually or an RV...

I was just curious to see how many of us are using the Stenner Injection pump for their holding tanks. The one I use injects chlorine into a vat for house use, once it leaves the well. It just seems like every few months (less than 65 days) I am replacing a Phenolic gear or the darn tube that...

Still reading up on air compressors but I would like to get a few recommendations from people who paint and wrench in their garage. I plan to use the compressor to run my plasma cutter, a mini paint booth on occasion, sand blast booth and power my air tools.

Is there an effective way to trap and release squirrels? Maybe something I can buy. The are tearing through the insulation in my barn, eating the wires in my cars and defecating on cars pending paint work. I don't care to kill them, though my neighbor has offered to "off" them for me. What...

Ok, I have a 40x80 foot barn with 2 stables 16x9. I was going to fill in the stables with dirt and concrete but I really don't want to permanently get rid of them. I plan to actually turn one into a paint booth for personal projects. However if I decided to sell the house someone with...

I am replacing 4 sets of lights in my barn using T8 fixtures and bulbs. My questions are two fold? Should I use 4x1 or 2x2 (4 bub enclosure) What is the brightest bulb allowed or do they cap out at 4100k 32w?

Looking at getting a dual zone mini-split system for the bonus room and the garage below. Bonus room (410sq ft) will be insulated with R13 and R30, while the lower garage (510sq ft) will have nothing. Is this a good unit for my needs. The seer rating and decent 12k btu's really appealed to...

I am mapping out my home surveillance system and the distance to my gate is quite a ways off from the house. Looking for suggestions on setting up a camera feed out there to see guests as they arrive and target assailants as needed (j/k)

I am starting my garage project and plan to paint the 710 sqft space with an electric sprayer to save time. I plan to purchase either at Lowes or Homedepot since they offer a military discount. Might even do Harbor Freight if someone has a good suggestion. Since I expect my floor budget to...

Morning friends, My wife and I are in the midst of getting estimates on putting up drywall and running a/c in my space above the detached garage. It is already wired up. I just have run out of ideas for where I want everything. Here is what I know, it will be my Tech Eden, aka Danger room...
