    I've narrowed down my search for a company to professional install my floor and the shop I've find using Roll On Rock, which from the videos I've watched and the "few" post on here, applies rather quickly and hold up pretty well.

    Retractable Electrical Cord - Anything I Should Avoid?

    I've read all the post related but nothing specifically stated what to avoid, just what people bought. With that, there doesn't seem to be a profound backing of any brand either. From my research it appears that the big ticket items are: - springs failing - gauge of cord - length of cord -...

    Adding height to roller garage stool

    I looked online today for a taller garage stool since mine is to low for my workbench and couldn't find anything either high enough for or cost friendly, so I took some scrap 4x4's, cut about .5 inches off and bought some 4" bolts and made a spacer out of it. While I'm happy with the way it...

    Ceiling Mounted Ladder Holder???

    I have no vertical space on my garage walls to hang my Little Giant Alta One Type 1 Model 22-foot Ladder except a few spots on the ceiling with enough length/width for it to fit.

    Anyone have a good DIY workbench link?

    Looked through the forums and found a lot of good stuff but no real links to DIY projects "how to build". If anyone has any links they have used, hit me up. DIY Pete had one, but it was very basic. Was hoping for something with a few more bells and whistles that's mobile with some shelves...

    I'm wanting to remove the empty framed out box directly below the white cabinets so that I can install some full size cabinets in that location. Couple questions. 1. Does the air box have to be that big? 2. Does it have to be air tight (I knocked a whole through the side to see what was...

    Looking for affordable storage bins?

    I just installed four 4x8 Saferack overhead storage racks and need to get it organized. I checked out GlobalIndustries Nest Storage which look great and are durable but it was over $1000 to get enough bins that I would need. I then looked at the Sterilite el-cheapo brand but I know you get...

    Insulating Garage Door (I have no lip/edge to insert foam or fiberglass)

    Like the description says, I don't have a typical door that you can slide foam boards into or lodge fiberglass inside of. My door has slightly rounded edges that transition from each section of door. Is there a product with a strong adhesive/double sided sticky tape that will work? My concern...

    Epoxy or Tile Style Flooring? Weighing the PROS/CONS of both.

    So I was dead set on doing epoxy but after reading articles on here for 5-10 hours I've come to this conclusion regarding epoxy: 1. Epoxy self-installation is complicated, some have good results, some have bad results (prep is key). 2. Epoxy is extremely $$$. 3. Epoxy doesn't hold up to...
