I purchased a house with a 30X40 steel frame metal shop. The previous owner started to frame out the interior to make it an apartment. My goal is to frame out the walls in order to put in insulation, electrical outlets/switches and cover it with OSB. I'm running into obstacles in my mind...

I purchased a house with a steel shop with metal panels. There are some panels that have large dents in them. I'd like to fix/repair them for cosmetic reasons but also to close the gaps they create to keep out as much dirt and critters as possible. I contacted a few local metal building...

I'm wanting to change the keyed lock on my shop to a keypad version. I only have a single hole in the door with no deadbolt, so it needs to be the keypad handle/knob. It seems like the Schlage FE595 models would do the trick, but I'm concerned about how well it would hold up. The door is on...

I'm replacing all the switches in my house with GE Z-Wave Plus switches that require a neutral. I have a 3-way switch at the top and bottom of my stairs. At the top of the stairs is a 2 gang box. One switch is a simple on/off to a single light in the attic space. The other is one of the 3-way...

I recently purchased a house with a gravel driveway. It also has a drive thru section in front of the house. The problem is after it rains or just over time the gravel starts spreading into the grass. This isn't a huge issue until it's time to mow or weed-eat and rocks start flying all over...

I recently purchased a house that has mostly Pella windows. Today the outer pane of glass in one of my windows broke. The window is approximately 33X81 and is a fixed double pane picture window (it doesn't open). The other matching window needs replaced because the seal has broken and it's foggy...

I currently have four 6" cans as soffit lights. I want to add 15 additional 6" cans around the rest of the house. I had an electrician come out this morning to give me a quote and after explaining what I wanted to do he said, "I wouldn't do that. Since you're out here in the country, you're...

I'm looking to build out my wrench selection now that I have a full size tool chest. I want to get a complete set of metric and SAE. I would also like to get a good set of flare nut and stubby wrenches. I'm strictly a DIYer but like having good tools that should last my lifetime. I do not...

My birthday is coming up and we celebrated it today. My family/friends joined together and bought me this Craftsman tool cart... Craftsman 40'' Wide 14-Drawer Ball-Bearing GRIPLATCH® Tool Cart - Black So tonight I decided to buy the matching upper tool box which I'll pick up tomorrow...

I'm looking at buying a miter saw and have a question about dual compound miter saws vs. compound miter saws. True or False: You can make all the same cuts on a single as you can on a dual, you just have to move the material to the other side of the saw and/or flip the material. I'm a DIYer...

One of my good friend's dad came over today and did some work on my house and gave me a good deal and said "Merry Christmas." This guy is Mr. DeWalt. Just today he had the DeWalt cordless drill, sawzall, grinder, little vacuum, two different nail guns, compressor, drill bits, driver bits...
