Thanks for the suggestion, dropped by while the wife was shopping for clothes down the street and they had one in stock. I've only unboxed it, it looks great for the price. Cant wait to test it out.

I've been looking for a 25-30gal 120v compressor for my shop and have been looking at these Kolbalt quiet tech compressors, specifically the 26Gal one: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-QUIET-TECH-26-Gallon-Portable-Electric-Vertical-Quiet-Air-Compressor/1000405189 They also have a 2gal and a...

Setbacks are a concern, one corner of the garage is within inches of the property line according to an old survey. Cleared off a 10'x12' section of the garage floor, seems that the asphalt was used to level it out. The floor is in decent condition but not even. Looks like it was poured in and...

As far as I can tell it was to raise the floor to keep water out after someone put a thick coat of asphalt on the driveway. Previous owners were masters of half-assery.

Purchased my first home about a year ago, nice location and a detached 2 car garage were big plusses. The garage was not a priority as the house needed some TLC. Now that the major projects in the house are winding down I would like to take care of the garage. The structure will need...

56" top and bottom box. No complaints other than the drawer slides on the top stick a bit when they are closed.

Foundation has been there for ~80 years now and does not appear to be going anywhere.

The outside concrete is 8"+ deep.

I have not spoken with the town but have spoken to several folks that have dealt with this and rebuilding can be a hassle. I want to brace the structure and then cut out the current sill. The foundation is 8" wide concrete, I want to lay a row of cinder blocks on that to raise the wooden part...

I recently purchased my first home, its been a crazy project so far but we have been getting the needed things done and can start to slow. The house came with a two car garage, its clearly grandfathered in as the wall rests on the property line. My garage has a lean to it, specifically one...

HVAC guy that was supposed to show up today didn't... Cleaning out a auto fill, is that in the territory of a DIY or should I let a pro handle this. It seems to over fill the boiler when the boiler is running. Keeping the sight glass at 3/4 rather than 1/2 where the lines are drawn keeps it...

Its a higher cost, everyone is busy with everyone rushing to get theirs done before winter and the excessive layers needing disposed of. The roof that's on the house is leaking and needs replaced and I want it done before winter and I have to deal with damage to the rooms that I am renovating...

When its off. It seems like the auto fill will kick on every time it starts up. I will post some ASAP. I think the roofers are doing the attic venting per some GAF standard for their warranty. I want to eventually make it into a living space as there is a full staircase to that level and...

20K for 26 squares, remove 3 layers of asphalt and do a full GAF system with a 50yr shingle and warranty. Yes it is, I guess I need to make some calls. Just the bare rafter with fiberglass insulation batts between them, its a old house and there is no ventilation except for the windows...

Hi, just purchased my 1st home and have a few questions about how stuff is supposed to work. Thought a few seasoned folks could point em in the right direction. 1) I have a semi-finished attic space, with insulation against the back of the roof surface. It has walk up access and lighting but...

There are $70 1/4" flex heads on eBay, whats going on.

There are no holes but moisture finds a way to get in there IMHO.

Is moisture going to be an issue between the fiberglass mat and siding?

Just closed on my first home. We have a 2 car garage (Rare in this neighborhood) that appears to of been build in the 1930's. Its simply bare studs inside covered with cedar clapboard siding, id like to retain some heat when working in there in the winter. Should I just wrap some vapor...
