    I've got a 20 x 34 garage sitting directly on dirt at the new house I bought. I was planning to raise it and put a footing/slab under it but am giving up on that idea and just starting over. This will give me the opportunity to build what I really need, not what was there. 1. I can go 4'...

    I was planning to close the ceiling and insulate in the garage of the house I just bought and noticed a problem. It's going to be tough to hang drywall with the opener operator sticking into the joists. Anyone have any bright ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I missed out on the last of the USA made craftsman snap ring pliers when they clearances them a few months back. I have about $25 in expiring points and looking for something to spend it on. Are the new Taiwan ones any good? https://m.sears.com/craftsman-2pc-snap-ring-pliers/p-00937907000P...

    Walker Floor Jack worth repairing?

    I've been looking for a floor jack on CL and ran across this one for $25. Seller says it doesn't work and he doesn't know why, but he thinks its repairable. Is it worth repairing? How much would a seal kit cost for something like this?
