Looking for some advice/input for my home, not the garage. Hope this is OK. My small attached garage is already sufficiently heated (7,500 W electric) and cooled (12,000 BTU). 2.5 story Colonial home. Total sq ft = 2500 (1000 1st floor, 1000 2nd floor and 500 3rd floor). Existing heat pump is...

Need some advice... I ordered a 14x32 pre-built garage with two 9x8 overhead doors about 6 weeks ago and I'm supposed to take delivery on Monday. I went and looked at it and I noticed 5 spots of delamination (?) on the 3/4" pressure treated plywood floor. They are not very noticeable but once...

I ordered a 14x32 pre-built garage that should be delivered in about 2 weeks. I will eventually run electric to it but until I do, I would like to have some temporary battery operated lighting - either 18650's or Dealt 20v since I have both on-hand. Just need some light so that I can see at...

Why is it so hard to find a simple square lock pin?!? They're commonly used on heavy duty trailer jacks to raise/lower the adjustable foot. I have one sitting in front of me so I know they exist. Pin diameter is 9/16" and total pin length is 3.5". I need another one but I can't find them...

Looking for some advice or ideas. I want to have a few tri-axles of fill, topsoil and modified delivered and dumped in a weeded area on the edge of my property. It's direct access off the main road so no issues there. I will use a Kubota tractor with FEL and backhoe to move and spread it all in...

I'm looking to buy a right angle (90 degree) pneumatic die grinder to clean up surfaces on a vehicle (wheel hubs, brakes, etc). Probably only use it a handful of times a year but I want it to be reliable and work whenever I need it. I'm a DIY guy that's willing to pay a little extra for quality...

I have (4) trays of batteries from an APC UPS. There are (8) batteries in each tray wired in series. I measured about 100V on the main brown plug. Batteries are made by CSB, model HR1221WF2. Label says sealed lead 12V 21W/Cell/1.67V/15min. I haven't assessed the health of each battery yet but...

Does anyone know if a triple-head PAR38 lamp holder exist? I see single and doubles but no triples. While it looks like I could add a 3rd lamp holder to this one, I doubt it will actually fit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PS8VL2/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Call me old school but I'm not a fan of...

I need more air filters (20 x 22 x 1). Not super cheap. Not super expensive. Somewhere in between. What are ya'll using? I originally used the cheap fiberglass filters and would change them every 30-60 days. But for past few years, I've been using the Flanders NaturalAire Standard MERV 8...

Some of us have to deal with snow, like it or not. And we all probably have our favorite shovel. I dread using anything other than the Suncast steel core ergonomic handle (https://www.suncast.com/sc3250.html). I'm 6' tall and rarely have to bend over when using it. It's great for lifting snow...

I used one of my HF moving dollies to move (aka drag) a small pile of Trex decking about 6 feet. Lesson learned - be home when your contractor has a scheduled delivery. Anyways, one of the casters broke in the process. It was the sacrificial price ($12) that I had to pay so that I could get my...

I've been using an older USA-made Craftsman 43373 magnetic bit screwdriver for many years now. I'm tired of dealing with bits coming loose but more importantly, the bit holder is aluminum and it's almost stripped. So it's being retired. I need some suggestions for a replacement. I want it to...

$1 per roll is really good price. I submitted an order for 6 at my local store. Waiting to see if they fulfill it. Pickup only, no shipping. Check your local store(s) because it doesn't appear to be available everywhere. Walmart -...

Anyone else receive a NAPA flier advertising 25% off entire purchase on June 27th? Details are scarce and very generic. Anyone familiar with the details or previous sales like these?

https://www.allamericansharpener.com/ I never saw such a tool before. It appeared as an ad on a website. Looks legit and I'd like to know if anyone has one or has used something similar? I'm a sucker for private, independent tool makers. Depending on how many blades you have, the ROI can be...

Can anyone tell me, as per the 2015 IBC... What the <u>MINIMUM</u> window header size should be for an 8' wide and 78" high 3-lite vinyl sliding window (XOX) in a 10' long, 8' high 2x6 wall? Current plans have <b>double</b> 2x10's. What the <u>MINIMUM</u> door header size should be for a...

I'm looking for some active and good window and door forums with product info, reviews, install experiences, etc. Looking for suggestions, please. Haven't found what I'm looking for here on GJ.

Looking to purchase something inexpensive to measure brake rotor thickness. Not going to be used daily, weekly or even monthly - more like yearly at most. I'm partial to digital but would consider analog if quality and price are superior. Long-reach caliper or micrometer? Suggestions? This is...

I will be starting the planning process to build a "sun room" soon. Having never hired anyone to build a structure (room, garage, etc), I'd like some general feedback on hiring either a GC or a business with employees on staff. A while back, I met with two companies to talk high level budgetary...
