    Harbor Freight Trailer - Experiences Please

    I had the 12" wheel version, similar to mge_1 above. Bought it used on Craiglslist for $150. Put my 500# cruizer bike on it and hauled it from Baltimore, MD to Ontario at highway speeds. Only thing I did was repack the wheel bearings before the trip. Folded and fit nicely on our 1-car garage in...

    ^^^ Very well put! To OP. Good score, but here on GJ, "Thou shall never **** thyself"...... We have seen many an excited self-sucker go down in flames due to this oversight. Haha!

    Card Cabinet Restoration

    Very nice work! I scored a much smaller one of these for $10, but it is missing a couple drawers. It will be a project for this winter and I have to figure out how to make some drawers that look decent.

    Wifey Needs Help Please!!

    Flooring is a good place to start for sure. We used to live in WPB and St. Lucie a few years ago. You can get some phenomenal deals on floor tile at some of the independent flooring shops down there (45th Street, Australian Ave, Okeechobee...etc). Labor to install is very affordable in FL to...

    Home office build

    Beautiful work. Redoing the study is on my to-do list for this winter. I plan to build a "stand-up" desk (on recommendation from my physical therapist) as my back has been giving out on me from sitting in the office chair and staring at a computer screen for 10 hrs a day...

    Single car garage revamp

    Excellent work. I am enjoying the play-by-play, seeing it all come together! I will do that for my own build as well which is a similar 1 car garage.

    Tiling - Floor-Wall Interface

    I am going to do something like you have proposed in your post - some sort of a (metal?) transition strip. Will cross that bridge when I get there. Too much else to do yet.... Plan to finish up the full tiles this Friday before we head down to Belleville on Saturday for the long weekend. Next...

    Tiling - Floor-Wall Interface

    Yes, this is exactly what I plan to do. You mentioned it earlier and I have noted it. I have left about a 1/4" between the wall and the first row of tile that bumps up against it. This helped aesthetically too because the wall-floor edge is uneven and cracked. Even with this gap, the wall...

    Tiling - Floor-Wall Interface

    Thanks Dakota. The coldest my garage has seen in the past year is 5C; this was when it was -20C outside. What helps is that the garage is recessed into the house, has living space above it and has a very well sealed + insulated door. The slab itself has a 1' layer of foam underneath. So I do not...

    Tiling - Floor-Wall Interface

    Had planned the tile-laying project for this past weekend, but got slammed with the flu Friday, so progress has been slower than expected. Based on recommendations by GF members (earlier in this thread) I headed over to Lowes Friday night and picked up the thinset. Realized that the Kerabond...

    Ever change out truck seats?

    Yes I have done it to my old 93 Tacoma. Replaced the bench seats with buckets from a Supra. Had to putz around with some 2" box tubing and grade 8 hardware, to make mounting brackets, but worked out great in the end. (Sorry no pics - sold the truck years ago) The fab work you do on the brackets...
