Ok so here's my situation... I have a basement room that I am turning into a woodshop. When I bought the house it had a laundry room in front of it. The basement room used to be a garage and the walkout door was changed to a single man door. When I redid the laundry I leveled the floor about 2...

I am just starting to get into wood working and find it pretty interesting. As I finish my house I am trying to decide if I should make half my basement into a wood shop or attempt to use the upstairs of my garage. The first floor of the garage will be car specific. Option 1: Basement shop...

I have saved the Ibeams shown below from the recycler. Like everyone I want to build the best most useful table I can but only want to use these for the structure. I will buy the top eventually when I come across a good deal on plate. The beams are about 8 feet long. My setup: This table...

If you show your Lowes card at Home Depot they will match the 5% off offer. I haven't seen it posted and they don't advertise it so I thought I would post it.

I know you guys are probably sick of these posts but I just like to confirm things I'm not 100% sure on. I was looking at my sub panel and it seems like replacing it will be rather simple. It has power in, neutral, and ground. Looks like I'm set. The thing that is throwing me is the run looks...

I have a detached garage that is being fed by what appears to be 12 gauge wire off a dual 20 amp breaker. This runs to the garage sub panel which is an old style with glass fuses. There is no visible real ground. The previous owner jerryrigged new wire in. I do not like any of this. I do...

I put down the vinyl floor from Sam's Club on one side of the garage. I haven't seen much posted about it on the forum so I thought I would give my initial thoughts. Pro's: Pretty thick, easy to lay down, not slippery at all when dry, ridges seem like they will contain spills, easy to cut...

I have been lurking on the sites for a few months now while working on my house. I have finally done enough work on the house that I can now turn my attention to the garage, the whole reason for buying the house. Its a two car 24x24 with a walkup loft above. I plan to use the plastic flooring...
