I've had a set of 3/8" Duralast sockets for almost 25 years, with the standard length and deep well sockets. I know there's nothing special about these cheap Autozone sockets, but I've been through thick and thin with them, and I managed to not lose the 10 mm for a quarter of a century, until...

I’ve spent the better part of 30 years wrenching on my cars out in the weather, or at best, under a carport. The unrelenting heat and humidity of a south Louisiana climate sure didn’t help. I was fortunate to have access to a large metal building that my wife’s grandpa owned, and we shared that...

I have a 60 gallon vertical Campbell Hausfeld compressor that's about 12 years old. 3 HP 240V single phase motor. I have used it for light duty work, always being very diligent to drain the compressor after each use, etc. Any way, last night I went to use the compressor and the dang thing...

Been lurking on here forever. In the planning stages of repurposing my wife's grandpa's old commercial building into a really nice shed. Still in the planning, layout, and cleanup stage right now. Already got lots of great advice on here. Also have lots of questions about insulation and...

So last May, my wife and I put up a modular home on her grandparent's property (11 acres of bliss). Grandpa has a pretty large metal building (45' x 60') in the back that is essentially used for nothing more than a few pieces of woodworking equipment, storage for a giant RV from the 80's, and a...
