    Brown moths on windows

    Does anyone else have brown moths on their windows in their pole barn? I just vacuumed up around 20 under each window. They are dark brown about an inch long. What are they, and how do I get rid of them? I will try to get a picture later.

    Do not use Johns Mansville insulation board

    Termites were eating the heck out of my foil faced Johns Mansville insulation board in my pole barn. Luckily it was only a small area before I noticed it. I am now forced to termite treat the building. My dad was an exterminator for 40 years and he was surprised the product was made like it is...

    I'm looking for a bottle to attach to an Astro undercoating/bedliner spray gun. I bought it on Amazon a few months ago and was told a HDX spray bottle from home depot will screw on.

    Body Shop Advice

    I know this isn't exactly a garage subject but I thought I would just throw it out there. I recently took my 70 Challenger to a restoration shop to have the paint and bodywork done. They told me it was finished yesterday so I went to go look at it. I was really disappointed in the final product...

    Driveway gravel size

    Needing opinions on driveway top layer gravel size. I currently have about 3-4" depth of #53 size. I know different areas of the country use different sizing, but 53 in our area is a mix of 1.5" gravel down to .5" with lime mixed in. It has compacted down really well to an almost concrete like...

    Picked up a new sign

    Bought this sign from an airport that is being renovated. It was cheap and I thought it looked pretty cool. It's 10' X 2'. It doesn't seem that big with 12' ceilings. You can also see a Fred's Garage i bought last year from a garage going out of business. Better that looking at insulation logos.

    pop-up drain emitter

    How much of a rise is acceptable for a pop-up emitter to work properly. I realize the amount of water being evacuated makes a difference. Do you think it would work properly with a 10" rise at the end or are they only designed to be used with a regular 4" rise 90* elbow? Any other solutions...

    Revolution 2-post lift

    Does anyone on here own a Revolution lift. I know not another "which lift" thread, but i am having a hard time choosing a lift. I had it narrowed down to Bendpak, Rotary, and Challenger and now came across Revolution. It is basically a Chinese made Rotary. I don't want a Chinese made lift, but...

    Do I need to get a topographic survey before i start my pole barn build. The ground is pretty flat but i am sure it isn't as level as it looks. The company i am using to build the garage does everything but site prep. What does everyone recommend?

    I am getting ready to build a 42"X50" pole barn on a relatively flat lot. I was wondering what the proper steps are in getting this project started. Do I need to have a surveyor come out and stake it out? I would like to have a few things in place before going to the contractors and getting...
