Evening garage aficionados, One of my air lines is leaking at the fitting. The fitting at one of the safety locks (4 post). The sleeve inside the fitting is mangled. I ran up to home depot, purchased a 1/4 plastic/nylon sleeve, it was different than the one on the line but as its all they had I...

So I have a power source outside to plug in some cafe/ restaurant style decorative string lights. Any ideas on putting a weatherproof wifi switch on it so I don't have to physically go out and plug it in?

SO I bought some threaded pad inserts for some bar stools. Trouble is, the shafts are about 1/2" too long and won't allow the shaft to fully screw in and seat in the bar stool. I am about to cut off 12 off these things a little shorter. I was going to dremel them and them use a die to clean...

Any body have a suggestion? 1st world problem, but my spa blower is too powerful. Its only 1HP which is the smallest one the manufacturer makes. But the bubbles splash over the side of the spa and its hard to talk in there, kind of like the news guy covering the incoming hurricane. I figured...

Anybody used a gas pipe to make a pull up bar? Or have any other suggestions? I have one kid that needs a pull up bar for Christmas, and I'd like to mount it in a hallway to the studs. Not looking for a flimsy tension style. This needs to be robust in case my fat **** decides to try one lol tia

I thought I found a good thread on this previously but can't refind it.:headscrat Thought it said I could use a 3 way dimmer switch but it has to be installed at a specific switch location, perhaps the closest or first switch to the power source? Anybody? (I have 3 light switches. )

Trying to order some dark gray rubber or vinyl wall cove base for my garage since none of my big box stores seem to have any in stock. Is Vinyl or rubber better? Any opinions? I didn't realize there was a choice and hate to buy without seeing any. Which would be better for the garage? Easier...

Hi guys. I'd like to control my exhaust fan with more than a simple home depot 'on at x degrees' thermostat. Ideally, I'd like something that could have more than one parameter. Like off at 70 degrees AND off if garage reaches same temperature as outside. For example if it is 80 degrees...

Have a Bendpak HD9XW on the way. Going in the left bay. 18' wide door 24' wide space overall. Question; to keep the middle poles away from the other parking spot, anyone see an issue or regret putting the left side poles as close to the wall as possible? I'm thinking parking no issue, but any...

Still looking for a 3 way in wall countdown timer. I found this but the 3rd way requires a remote? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002WTC91K/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I also found a simple 'dial' timer that is true 3 way, but I really want the timer with various minutes choice plus permanent on...

So I have an electrician coming out to install a 220v plug in the wall. Is there any benefit to placing it 6' high so I don't forever and always have to step over it on the ground?

Anybody know where else I might try to order these lights? Lightup seem to be out or their website is not running right. https://www.lightup.com/flat-panel-2x4-led-light-72w-dim-200w-equiv-9000-lumens-lumegen.html

Will a low voltage dimmer for flat panel led lights work with a 3 way switch? Obviously one would only be able to dim from one switch, but besides that?

Anybody familiar with these lights? They look a little more attractive than the 4' strip leds, but little more expensive also. I have a 17' ceiling , 21x24 base and am considering these 2x4 troffer panel led lights. It is a hobby garage - art and stuff on the walls so don't want something too...

Hey this is a great site. thanks to all the contributors. I hope to share what I have planned and get some feedback suggestions etc. I have a disaster of a garage right now, but that is why I'm here :) The good news is it is a kind of cool space because it has a 17' high ceiling with a 21'6"x...

I know a few of you all have done this. Had a couple of questions. 1. I notice some folks like to make a cover for the lift when recessed. Can you drive (with tire) on this cover, or is this going to make problems? 2. If I am planning to epoxy the garage floor, I'd like to epoxy it all...
