I always get the best advice from this group, so first off let me say thank you to all members. I just added a paver patio to the back of my house. Under the pavers I had the installer run 2" gray conduit from my gas meter to two locations on the patio: a grill and fire pit. Now I'm needing to...

I'm building a home in Alabama that has a 23x32 garage and another 22x12 garage that is 29' away from the larger garage. I'm thinking of putting a 18k BTU unit along the top wall of the main garage and somehow getting the lineset to another air handler for the small garage. I've read that...

Hi all. I'm changing an exterior light from one with a round base to one with a square base. As such, I need to trim the brick to more of a square, almost all the way up to the mortar line. Should I just use a chisel and punch vertically along the left edge and hope the brick breaks apart? The...

It was a full DIY where he made bases for his 44" USG boxes. Anyone know what I'm talking about or who posted it?

My home builder did a poor job caulking around most of my windows, so they’re loud. I was able to go back and properly caulk most of them which reduced 75% of the noise, but can’t figure these out. Is there a way to remove the frame to really get in there, or is my only option to pull this caulk...

This is what I'm referring to: Wiring up a mini-split for my garage this weekend and am a bit stumped. The attached photo is what I have going on outside. Main breaker box has plenty of spaces available, it feeds the subpanel in the basement 25' away which then spits out wires that go into...

Best way to seal heat out of my garage w ceiling? 22x28 detatched garage with an open ceiling. No soffit vents or ridge vent but I do have intake vents by the ground on all four corners and two whirly-bird vents on top. Walls are insulated and drywalled but the ceiling is open with no...

I have a new construction home near an interstate and despite the double-pane glass, my bedroom is loud. Any solutions other than buying $500 window inserts or new $1000 windows?

Thought it might be nice to have a thread with lots of different garages so we can get inspiration in one place rather than clicking through dozens of pages of many other threads. :pimpflash Show em if ya got em!

We're about to enter the rainy season where I live and I don't want my weekend car getting dripped on every time I open the garage door. Has anyone devised a way to stop this? I'm thinking about taping a giant plastic sheet on the inside of the garage door leaving excess material at each joint...

Replacing all the front control arms, shocks, springs, sways, etc on my 2008 335i. Everything went smoothly enough on the driver's side, but the passenger side is a HUGE PITA. The nuts on both lower control arms just spin and spin, turning the bolt with them. There is some corrosion, but I hit...

Have RaceDeck FreeFlow XL. Decided to do some spray painting in the garage with the door open thinking it would be fine. Nope. The paint cloud landed on the tiles and now they look dusty. I've already tried car soap and degreaser and a pressure washer. What's next? The tile is a colored polymer...

Moved in a few weeks ago, it's 19'6" wide x 20'6" deep. Wasn't much when I got it: Got the RaceDeck FreeFlow XL down and all my junk moved in and somewhat organized: Could barely park one car in it as it sat: Moved a few things into the house and made room for the daily driver: Still...

My dogs love hanging out in the garage while I'm working but they both shed a decent amount. Has anyone had experience with dog hair and these tiles? Does it get trapped easily in the tiles or can you just use a leaf blower and push it out of the garage like I do now? I want the FreeFlow since...

Been lurking here a long time, really admire what you all have done. There is everything from GarageMahals to small 1 car garage renos, and they're all done very well. Props to this board, great group of folks. I currently have this 16x30ish 1car garage: (Workbench, gun safe and shelving...
