I have a 24' X 48' ICF (side walls) garage that I would like to hang shelves and panels in. This will require setting some anchors into the walls. I'm looking for an affordable wall scanner that will help identify live wires, re-bar, and pipes under 1/2 or 5/8 sheet rock on top of 2" of foam...

Looking for recommendations on a basic one step sealer for a new concrete 24'X48' garage floor. I want something that will resist oil, road salt, and most of the other crud we drop on garage/shop floors. Preferably spray on but I could roll it if needed. I'd also be interested in what kind of...

I am going to be moving from Austin, Texas to McCall, Idaho in the Spring and I’m looking for moving and possibly storage options for all my shop equipment (tools, cabinets, workbenches, stationary saws drill press, scissor lift, and lots of misc. but heavy stuff, etc.). Pods seem...

Hope the picture loads, if not I'll go back to the drawing board and try again. Anyway, got tired of tripping over my two floor jacks the other day and thought "there's got to be a better way". Since I had a engine hoist folded up against the wall taking up space anyway I decided to weld to "j"...

I'm thinking of putting together a platform of sorts that will fit on my midrise and allow me to drive a motorcycle on to it for serviceing. Anyone out there done anything like this? Steel, I think, would be to heavy, perhaps 3/4" plywood reinforced in stratgic areas...Ideas and suggestions...

Just ordered a mid rise lift and I'm thinking that I will need to put something under the wheels so they don't mark or sink into the VCT I have on my floor. My initial thoughts are two strips of 5/32 sheet steel 6" inches wide and as long as they need to be. Any one see a problem with that or...

I'm trying to decide between the two. Norco is acouple of hundred dollars cheaper from Mile X Equipment but that's not a major issue. The vendors I'm considering all offer free shipping so that cancels out. It looks like you have more front and rear end access with the Norco but the Bendpak...

When I plug a tool or vacuum into my shop plugs I get a spark just as the plug goes into the recepticle...I wonder why this occurs - not all the time but frequently.

Just finished laying my Armstrong VCT and now want to put a couple of coats of wax on it before moving all my equipment on to it. Wondered if anyone had any particular recommendations for wax. I plan to sweep it, swab it, and the put the wax on with a sponge mop. Don't have a buffer so it needs...

I'm putting Armstrong VCT on a new concrete floor and wondered about the steel wheel casters I have under some big steel microfilm cabinets that I store nuts, bolts, and tools in. They are pretty heavy (est. 500 lbs. each), will they dent or damage the tile? Likewise I have a car albeit a light...

Just finishing up on my garage/shop and have a corner dedicated to welding. I'm wondering what might be the best combination of fire protection and economy for the wall in this area - I have foam insulation between the studs and need to protect it from sparks while welding and grinding. Thanks...

Don't know if this fits here or elsewhere but it does have to do with lighting. I'm giving some thought to incorporating one or two skylights in the roof of my new 22'x20' garage, I will have scissor trusses on 16" centers so it will be a straight shot thru the roof, no attic or anything, just...

Planning on using VCT on my 20x22 shop/garage but wonder how it will hold up to a small car (914) on dollies that might need to be moved from one side to the other occasionally? Most dollies have steel wheels, will they tear up the tile or leave tracks? Thanks for your advice.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 20X21 attached shop/garage. Planning on four to six anchor pots in the concrete foundation, one or two empty PVC lines under the pour for any future lines that may need to go under the foundation, don't need any drains. Will probably have a two or four post...
