Trying to come up with a means to make another copy of this rare fender emblem for my ‘55 Dodge truck. I have the driver’s side, the passenger side is missing. Due to the rare “CUSTOM REGAL” designation, these are nowhere to be found. Looking for recommendations, resources, or ideas (3d print...

Working on plans selection for a yard shed. City code limits me to 120 sq-ft "footprint." What exactly does this include (cantilever, roof overhang, floor size...?). Have been trying to research various sources but getting conflicting definitions. Still waiting for call back from city planner...

For those of you that have used the self-solder **** connectors for strand wire or have trade knowledge, are there any specific name brands or sources to avoid the cheap Chinese “knock-off” products?

Having trouble getting only certain (larger) LED 3-way bulbs to work in my 3-way lamp. Replaced an incandescent bulb 50-150W (worked fine) with a 3-way LED 5-16W. Works fine but not enough light. Went to a bigger LED (7-21W) but this one works only on the "3rd click" of the switch. I conclude -...

4 months into "new to me" house (built 2000), still seeing electric bill $60-70 higher than expected. According to data on our monthly bill we are using 60% more power than our "average" neighbors. Something's not right... - there's just 2 of us, no kids - gas stove/oven, gas dryer, gas water...

Got these leftover tools from my mother-in-law's “downsizing and decluttering” garage sale. Is there anything here of value…?

Just moved into this house 2 months ago, finally had some "garage time" away from work and other priorities to get some of my tools out moving boxes and put away. The cabinet was a gift from my wife's mom after my her Dad passed away. He handmade it several years ago, and I think of him every...

After thoughtful consideration and research (safety, project size, cost, flexibility, etc) about which welding process to go with, I have settled on TIG. Have lots of plans and possibilities, already have purchased a NICE ($$!!) helmet, gloves, and other accessories. Looking for additional ideas...

So with finally settling on our new home purchase a few weeks ago, we ended up not being able to find a place with an additional detached garage. Gotta make what I have work for now (3 car 33x25x11.5 walls) until I can add on. Many of my long awaited planned projects include small welding...

Long story short, my wife and I bought our house (circa 1905) about 6 years ago with full intentions of tearing down this garage and replacing it with a larger 2 car. The house is beautiful and in excellent condition, but for some reason the garage (built in 1915) had been neglected for some...

Low price, lightweight, but...maybe TOO light.

Running 10/3 out to a 30 amp subpanel in a small single car detached garage (1915 vintage). Nothing big needed, just a light circuit, a couple 20 amp outlets, and a 220 just in case I may want to plug my small electric heater in the future. I have a Siemens 4-breaker panel, I see the locations...

I have a 4 yr old fairly large (10K BTU?) Frigidaire window AC unit that has started occasionally tripping my circuit breaker (20 amp). Started very gradual, about once a week, now about every other day. Tried a completely different circuit, same thing. It seems to be drawing more current than...

Found this in the basement of my old (1908) home a couple years ago, left by previous owner (probably cuz it weighs about 200+ lbs). Thinking it might be worth something on Craigslist. :headscrat Measures about 32" across. Any thoughts??

Sort of a twist on the "Garages at Night" thread. Let's see your garage in its winter setting....

Looking for input / thoughts from concrete experts....did some searching but coming up with a contradicting opinions. Still in planning / budgeting phase of 2 car detached in Minnesota. 1) Is there a "rule of thumb" regarding how big requires foots vs floating slab? 2) Can I put a 2-post lift...

Pulling together plans for a 2 car garage. Due to % hard cover ordinance, I have about 625 sq ft to work with. I'll be going with 12 - 1/2ft walls so I can stuff 4 cars in using lifts (one 2-poster, one 4-post). The 2-poster will be used as a "working lift", the 4-post will be storage only...

What?? You know another way...? :dunno:
