I decided to use Vinyl Composition Tiles for my 1600 square foot garage. It took about 40 boxes and two days of labor. I did a 4 by 4 pattern. Then I spent a few days applying 2 coats of sealer and 4 coats of wax. I am very happy with the results. I did notice when I rolled a couple of...

I have had my garage drywalled. The lower 15" of the wall is the stem wall make of cinder blocks. The drywall ends at the stem wall leaving a 1/2" - 9/16" step back to the cinder blocks. How does one go about trimming this? Sounds like a dumb question but I have never encountered this before...

After months living at our new home in NC, I have finally gotten started on a garage. It will be all stick built, all brick to match the home with a storage loft. Due to the building standards in our neighborhood I was limited with the height of the building. Though, it will have a 10/12...

I have a 3/8" electric drill. I need to drill some larger holes than the 3/8" chuck can hold. Can a 1/2' drill chuck be used in place of the 3/8" ?

I am preparing to build a new detached garage. Due to zoning issues I can go no deeper than 35'. I was wanting to build something that would be room enough for 8 cars. So, 40' X 60' was the plan. Now I find out I can't go any deeper than 35'. I think this will still work for 8 cars. It...

I'd love to have this and it is local. Seems a little overpriced to me. What do the jack experts here think it is worth? https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/tls/6190678823.html

I have just purchased a new property. I have approximately 3 acres to mow now. I am in need of either a riding mower or a zero turn mower. The previous owners of the property were using a Bush Hog brand zero turn mower. I find prices on those quite high, I am also looking at Gravely. Others...

I will be putting up a new building soon. My county requires a plan to be submitted for approval. I know what I need but lack the means to draw up my own plan. What do most folks do here? I was planning on doing most of the work myself so I am responsible for permits. I was considering...

My furnace has been making some unusual noises. Upon investigation I realize the blower motor has some bad bearings and will require a replacement motor. I am a smart guy, try to save some money when I can, so I remove the defective motor for replacement. After 1 hr of disassembly I visit...

Does it make a difference? I am wiring up a new motor. Will run either direction. The pump does have a flywheel with an arrow pointing CCW facing flywheel. However, I have had this compressor since new and it was always turning CW facing flywheel. I wonder if this was intentional or did...

Have had this compressor about 10 years. Works great until the motor started smoking today and shut down. I don't really know where to start with this. I removed the capacitors, no leaks, and ohms tested to infinity. I saw a small flame inside the housing before it shut itself off. Is it...

I bought this jack at a yard sale. It raised easily and would hold up the front of my car for hours without moving down at all. However, it was leaking some at the main ram so I installed a seal kit. I have the jack all rebuilt and it is not leaking anymore. Functionally it is fine, it raises...

Not something I use very often, but when I saw this 20 ton Snap-On for $200 on a local Sale I had to have it. Works perfectly and seller included all the steel blocks and plates. Needs some paint. I can't say how old this is, but does have the old Snap-On logo. Steel says "Bethlehem Steel"...

Someone needs to go pick this up http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/tls/4428901581.html.

I dragged an old WS jack out of hibernation recently. It hasn't been used in ages. It was put up supposedly because of a leak. Before I started tearing it down for a reseal I thought I would check it out. It was out of oil, so I filled it up and gave it a try. Left it sitting for a couple...

Check out this Blackhawk S23 on e-bay. Buy it now price seems pretty high, especially considering the ad says the jack needs work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251273110865?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Thought I would pass along in case anyone is interested.

Somebody needs to go pick this up. I would but have too many Snap On boxes already...

Found a jack made by the Joyce-Cridland company out of Dayton, Ohio. Anyone ever hear of this company? The jack looks like a 4 ton model, and very stout. I'll post some pictures.

Great deal here on one of these cool Aviation boxes. Hope someone can take advantage of this.http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/tls/3233656071.html

Looking to purchase a portable generator at least 7000 watts to use during power outages. I know most are manufactured in china these days. Any recommendations for brand? Thanks.
