GJ, I am moving to Florida full-time and building a house with a 1,500 sq ft "6-car garage". The architect has drawn up a plan but I am not sure if he understands a garage. His 6-car garage is actually two spaces--Space 1 is 22' x20' and Space 2 is 18.8' x 48.8'. Here are the details on...

I was lifting my car and the lift got to about 1 foot from the ground when I heard a very loud "POP" and the factory smoke came out of capacitor. The bottom of the capacitor blew into pieces. How do I test to find out what happened? Would a capacitor that is failing or failed blow up like...

Gents, I am planning to build a 4-car, double deep garage with upper storage area. I am satisfied with my Amish shed and am considering using Amish to build this garage. Any thoughts on how big I'd need to go? Has anyone in Virginia used Amish to build a garage? Is so, what was your...

I have priced and researched alot of heat pumps and am leaning towards either a: Rheem RP1430 (14 SEER) with a VS air handler or a RP1530 (15.5 SEER) with standard air handler (not VS). The contractor is recommending the RP1530 with standard air handler over the RP1430 with a VS air...

Folks, My 12-year old heat pump condenser (outside unit) puked all of its R22 for the second time in a year. It is connected to a 2-year old air handler that is 410a capable, but we are running R22 in order to work with the older unit (not my idea; the warranty company did that). My home...

My Matco 5s has ball bearing drawer slides. I had to remove a drawer and when I did all of the nice little ball bearings went rolling in every direction. I'm now missing about 30 tiny bearings for the drawer slides.. Does anyone know where I could possibly get replacement bearings without...

I am looking at a 1980's Snap On tool box but have no idea of the value. He's asking around $900 and I don't have the model number yet. Any idea of a price range? It is in very good shape. "][/URL]

I have two great floor fans but want something mounted on the wall. Northern Tool has a 20" 8K wall mount CFM fan for $100. Has anyone mounted a floor fan on the wall? A simple hook or bracket? I'll spend the $100 if I need to, but first thought is to mount the floor fans on the wall...

The ramps on my 4-post lift do not work well due to a 2" drop/ledge between the main garage floor and my driveway that is about halfway down the length of the ramp. The ramps come straight out of the garage and there is then a 2" space where the ramp has nothing to rest on. It seems that...

The aluminum ramps I have for my 4-post lift are the standard size, but because my floor is not level with my driveway. Because the floor is not flush with the driveway, the ramp hangs over the floor by about 14". I have tried to use wood under the ramp, but is not the best solution. I was...
