I purchased a lot of the Estate universal storage cabinets made by RSI from Lowes for my garage. After three years some of the drawer fronts on the 3 drawer base cabinets are starting to delaminate. The garage is a typical attached and is not heated or air conditioned but for short periods...

I upgraded some breakers to the new arc fault combo style and now I have two circuits that trip once every month or so. The breakers have two LED’s and when both are on after a trip indicates a GFI trip. House was built in 1960 and has the romex wire that has the silver cloth outer sheathing...

I just purchased a shop sawdust collector that has a motor that is stated in the specs as a 2HP with peak running amps at 20. It runs on 120V and actually draws a little less than 14amps. From what I understand this is really about a 3/4hp motor based on the amp draw while running. Right...

Just bought the Harbor Freight 5 drawer service cart on sale for $149.99 plus used the 20% coupon for a final price of $119.99. I had never seen one on display so I took a chance and got one site unseen. I was relying on the comments from GJ members that have one and I must say I’m totally...

Which one of these cup grinding wheels is the best style to use to grind down concrete. I'm needing to grind down a high spot (about 4 sqft) on a garage floor about 1/2" to 5/8" down.

My garage floor is not level at the door. It has at least a 5/8” hump at the center of the door so when the door closes it leaves a gap on each end that the weather skirt can not totally seal. Is it possible or should I say worth while to try to grind down the hump. It would take grinding a...

I’m getting a Liftmaster 3800 garage door opener. The instruction manual says only one wired control unit can be hooked to the motor and additional controls need to be wireless. My current opener allows for a momentary switch to be connected to open and close the door. I used this feature to...

When ever the topic comes up about garage door openers and the Liftmaster 3800 vs. idrive is discussed I’m the one who says “I have the idrive and have been happy with it”. Well my idrive has given up the ghost and I’m getting estimates to convert my 18’ Wayne Dalton door to a highlift. I’m...

I have an 18’ X 8’ garage door that when opened you could see that the top panel sagged in the middle even with having a 4 inch wide stiffing strip. Over time the top panel kept the bow and when the door was shut there was about a ¾ inch gap between the center of the top panel and the top...

I had a 30'X26' garage added to my house with one 8'X18' door. Later I convinced my wife that I needed a lift but I had to figure how to get it to fit and plus work around the fact that the garage door had to be closed to fully raise the lift with a car on it. My solution was to angle the lift...
