    Need help - electrical question with hurricane bearing down tonight....

    Do we have any home electric wizards in here? Here’s the (relatively) short version of a longer story. We’re about to be hit with the dirty side of a hurricane. Not a direct hit, thankfully, but enough that given the terrible electrical infrastructure here, we’re almost guaranteed to lose power...

    Any vinyl composition tile (VCT) experienced guys on here - needs complete refinish

    I have your typical black and white checkerboard 12" VCT floor in my garage. It's super dirty, and in some places has the usual brown stain where the tires stained the surface. What's the most aggressive floor pad I can use on my 18" buffing machine to deeply and agressively clean this? Can a...

    Hopefully easy Shop-Vac question

    Hopefully one of you guys can answer this for me. I know next toi nothing about Shop Vacs. I buy one, plug it in, plug in the hose and off we go. I was at a moving sale the other day, and on impulse bought a pristine used Shop Vac brand unit for a whopping $5. It looks perfect, stainless steel...

    Vinyl Comp. Tile (VCT) / clear epoxy over tile questions

    I have the typical black and white vinyl tile floor in my garage. I've poked around this site and seen some where they put clear epoxy over the vinyl tiles for a wet shine look. I'd like to do that, but I have a few questions that I'm hoping one of the floor experts and/or guys who have done...

    Clear epoxy (or similar) over vinyl commercial tile (VCT)

    I've done a search, and some info on this has come up. However, between conflicting information, and not including some newer products that may have come available, I thought maybe it was time to do one consolidated thread. I am hopeful that the expert vendors will chime in here, as well as...

    Electrical guru's - How does this sound for my garage electrical overview

    Just an overall view - I'm going to add a subpanel in my garage. Some call it attached, the town calls it detached. Either way, a general description to me is that it is a detached garage connected to the house by a covered but open walkway, if that makes any sense. The main panel for the house...

    Questions about running copper air lines in my garage

    My questions are simple. I'm about to run copper lines for air in my garage. 1- Does it matter if I run 1/2" or 3/4"? It's a 5HP 60 gallons unit. No real heavy use, it's just me wrenching in the garage with standard air tools. I may do some light paint work, not much of that at all if any...

    Yet ANOTHER guy with a flooring dilemna - approx. 850 sq. ft

    I have a 4 bay garage, three abreast and the left bay two deep. I use the deep bay as a workshop. It's all automotive use, storing the daily drivers and a weekend "toy". I do automotive work in the garage, but nothing heavy. Little to no welding, just wrenching, etc. Here's the problem. The...

    What do you all put into the deep tall lower right drawer of your HF 56" box?

    I'm putting all my tools into my new HF 56" top and bottom box. As I mentioned on the drawer liner thread, I anticipate eventually moving stuff around until I find an arrangement that works and is efficient and comfortable. So far all is well with one exception. The bottom right drawer in the...

    Picked up my HF 56" tonight - what are you all doing for reasonably priced drawer lin

    Picked up my HF 56" tonight - what are you all doing for reasonably priced drawer lin I love the box but I am not crazy about the mesh drawer liners they provide. I like a heavier duty solid liner, more along the lines of something similar to what they put on the top of the bottom box. What are...

    Basic questions for adding a large subpanel

    So.......I bought a house that has what is essentially my dream garage. It's a 4 bay detached garage, and even better it's wide open, just studs and a concrete floor. The proverbial blank canvas, so to speak. The main panel for the house is right here in the garage. It's 150 amp service, which...

    Can't decide between Harbor Freight 44" and 56" top and bottom

    As the title says, I am trying to decide between the two different top and bottom setups. I certainly prefer the 56", what is stopping me at this point is the top shelf of the 56" top box, under the lid up top, looks so shallow as to be virtually unusable. Anyone who has the 56" top box, can you...

    Need info on proper insualting to keep A/C in and hopefully moisture out

    My detached 4 car garage is 23 years old. I just moved into the house earlier this year, and the garage and it's possibilities were a major factor in the decision to buy the house. We've done lots of work to the house, and now it's time for the garage to get overhauled. It's about to get a...
