    garden shed

    I'm embarrassed to ask such a question on this forum, but here goes...I need a small storage shed in the back yard & Tough Shed seemed quality but more than I'm willing to spend (hoa size restrictions make it not worth it). So if I build one myself (having never worked with wood other than...

    Eley hose & accessories

    Got tired of the junk hoses I had leaking, bulging or turning everything black so I bucked up & got an Eley hose with all the fixins. Hooked up their quick connect system on all three faucets & one end of the hose. Also added the male connectors to anything I use with a hose and the other end of...

This way the kids don't have to turn on (& leave on) the main lights to get to the cars. Will try to "install" tonight. Last week, I did install a proximity light swith to the mud...

    Wireless plug in light

    Looking for this but a light bulb instead of a tone. Anyone ever see this??? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Heath-Zenith-Wireless-Plug-In-Door-Chime-Kit-SL-7352-02/203789503?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D27E-Electrical%7c&gclid=CKbQuueBuM8CFdcTgQodKZgHmA&gclsrc=aw.ds I tried a motion...

    Wiring motion light.

    I just bought a led flood light with motion to put inside the garage & I've wired an extension cord so I can plug it next to the garage door opener. It trips the plug without the gfci button but works well with the plug having the button (same circut). Ive also toned the cord so the fat prong is...

    Adding additional 4' lights

    I want to add an additional 2 bulb, 4' light next to my current one. It's just a cheap 4', 2 bulb t-8 wrap around fixture. Would I use the punch out on the side & connect them with romex so they work on the same switch (exposed) OR do i need a junction box installed inside the ceiling? I need it...

    Attic stairs vs 12' ladder

    As I was considering new lighting options & ceiling storage in my 3 car garage, I noticed a 2nd attic access point. I grabbed a ladder and found 15x20' storage space, nice!

    Extra epoxy product vs primer

    Which method is better & why? Buy 50% more epoxy (half kit) or use 2 part primer before epoxy? The prices are similar. I'll have ~600sq/ft to cover, so I have 2 options. 1. Buy a kit and a half, which will cover up to 900 sq/ft. 2. Buy a kit (600 sq/ft max) and the primer, which would increase...

    Houston Suburb 3 Car Garage Remodel

    I've been trolling the forum for about a month now to plagiarize ideas & believe I have a vision. Flooring, paint, lighting & as little clutter as possible. Oh yeah, and of course to make my neighbors jealous. I'm not a mechanic or woodworker, just want a nice place to park 2 cars, motorcycle...
