I just finished putting up shelves for some of my old boom box radios. As most of you know, we left Arizona a little over a year ago due to higher costs. I had to settle for a smaller garage here but I am making the best of it. Floors are epoxied, walls and ceilings have been made smooth (no...

I never heard of this brand but it seems to get good online reviews. I am looking for another combo ratcheting wrench set for my house garage box. Ideally prefer with the least back drag. I would go for Icon but they do not seem to have anything larger than 3/4 on their ratcheting wrench sets. I...

For the first time in my life, I decided to just pay someone to do the floors in my 625sq ft garage. We bought this house as a resale and the concrete has a few cracks. Typically I had new concrete to work with in my previous places so I did those myself with polyaspartic material. Always had...

We are on a 12 home shared well. Water availability hasn't been an issue but the stink has been terrible. I have a huge three cartridge filtration system (Manor) under the house. (3' encapsulated crawlspace) I replaced the "citrus softener" filter cartridge with a second carbon filter but no...

Has anyone replaced these wheels with something stronger? The wheels the box comes with look nice but they are a cheap plastic material. Not sure how long they will hold up. I do not feel like flipping the cabinet upside down just yet to see what size they are which is why I am asking if anyone...

I haven't posted in over a year, maybe even three. We sold our house in AZ due to the rising costs. We did excellent and bought a nice house in North Ozark MO. We are in a 12 home community of 3 acres each. Absolutely love it here and for the first time in our lives, are mortgage free. I have...

The unit is 17,700 BTU's running R410a on 120v. It is rated to cool up to 600 sq ft spaces. Unfortunately it didn't work as well as...

So of course its summer time and the "How do I heat my shop" threads are dwindling down as the summer sun bakes. Living in Phoenix, is more of a how do you keep your cool while the four most miserable months begin approaching. My wife and I are blessed that we found a property 4 years ago in a...

So I had a new garage door installed on my shed with a shiny new 8500 opener. I didn't have power to the shed when it was installed however I did leave the installer with an extension cord to test out the motor. Fast forward a month later (today) when I finally got power to the shed. The door...

Due to popular requests, I decided to catalogue the renovation of our house we bought in 2014. My wife and I wanted some space and no HOA. We found an older fixer upper that an investor already did some work on. (Lipstick on a pig) for $280k. It had an underground concrete pool that was dated...

I want to cool my 1100 sq foot garage and have it all insulated when we built it. The question is do I go with dual zone ceiling cassettes or single zone ceiling cassette put in the middle of the space? The sizing says to be 24k btu and living in the greater Phoenix area, I will need it all! Not...

I needed more space to put all my electrical junk in. Our house does not have a basement and I wanted to keep my fairly new 1100sq ft garage clear. I began the process of building a block shed 16x20 which I thought was plenty for my needs.... Site along side of house with my only toy at the...

So I live in East Mesa, AZ where it is the capitol of Termites. If you don't have termites at your house here, you will get them. I love the idea and cost efficiency of a wooden pole barn, but worry about the termites coming in from underground and inside the wooden supports. Should I be...

I have begun installing the RapidAir 1/2" kit in my new garage build in Mesa, Arizona the Furnace capitol of the summer. That being said, I was wondering if anyone in a hot climate who has the RapidAir running through their hot garage attics had any issues with the hoses letting go at the...

My wife and I bought an older home over the summer as we wanted to get out of an HOA (Home Owners Association with strict rules as to what you can and can't do, what you can have or can't have). The house in Mesa is on a little over an acre with fantastic access to two major highways with the...
