So I have finally finished the interior walls with the exception of the area above my garage doors. So right now just studs and insulation. I am guessing with the tracks and spring there isn't a lot of clearance there. What have you done to finish the area above your doors? I may be over...

Not sure if I can explain what I am trying to accomplish. The breaker box is flush mounted to the stud. I am now putting 3/4 1 X 6 up on the walls. Can I go over the lip of the breaker box and mount the cover on top of the 1 X 6 with longer screws or does the wood between cause or risk a fire...

I am looking to buy a good quality grease gun, what one would you recommend? Thanks

Just thought I would post a couple of pictures of a movable wall I built in my shop. It certainly isn't perfect however this winter it seemed to work out just fine. It moves on pole barn door rollers. They pivot in the center and nest against the wall only taking up the thickness of the panels...

This probably is not the right spot for speakers however it continually amazes me how much knowledge is out here. Does anyone know of, or has purchased Bluetooth wireless speakers in the ceiling (suspended). I currently have wired speakers however I want to clear up my old receiver and such and...

Would like to hear opinions and thoughts on putting casters on a 5 drawer lateral file. They are steelcase brand and have what feels like a lot of counter balance weight. If I put my heavy stuff in the bottom and work my way up, would you think I am asking for problems by putting casters on...

I think I am overthinking this however here goes. I am using steel liner panel cut at 42" for wainscoting. How have you handled the inside corners? I have "J" trim for the top and bottom, do you use this for the inside corners as well? Would someone have a picture to post of this application...

Just curious on thoughts regarding hot water in the shop. My needs are hot water at the wash tub sink for hand washing and some other light duties. What would be the best way/economical both short term (install costs and long term operational costs) to accomplish this? Again I would be using...

I will preface this question with I typically over think things and sometimes a bit OCD. I am currently installing steel liner panels on my ceiling. I am to the garage door track. This looks easy enough, just drop the track a little slide the panel in and re-install. The problem I am seeing at...

Hi, I would like to hear from someone with knowledge regarding code enforcement. In my region building is almost non existent, and our code people are literally driving the roads "looking" for work being done. So here is my hypothetical; I install a garage heater and vent it outside of course...

I thought I had read about this before and searched and couldn't come up with the answer. Here goes, I bought 3" b vent, from Menards for my hot Dawg 45k heater and it wouldn't fit the fitting in back of the heater. Do I need something special ie; an adapter to make the connection. I visited...
