I have an 8ft workbench area that needs lighting. The bench area is surrounded on three sides - two adjacent side walls and a back wall. There is approx. 36" of open space above the workbench area. I may install cabinets in this area above the workbench. Above the open workbench space is a...

So if someone had a polyaspartic coating, could they use EnduraShield 2254 urethane as a top coating? Mordi

I need to spray paint some shellac based primer on MDF doors for my garage and oak cabinet doors for my laundry room. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive 110V sprayer? thanks, Mordi

I built some medium density fiberboard (mdf) cabinet doors in my garage and primed them with a shellac based (BIN) primer. I then sanded them with 220 grit and used a small foam (smooth surface) roller to put on a coat of water based paint. The finished surface appears as if it has roller marks...

My wife asked me to purchase a hand sander to be used to refinish a wooden bench that is outside our house. Also, the sander will be used to help refinish the cabinet doors in our laundry room (prior to painting). She asked if I could possibly find one that collects the "dust" in a bag - to...

I need a shed to store my lawnmower, weed wacker, blower, spreader, etc. Too busy to build one and am thinking about something that is low (read "no") maintenance. Sears has a sale on a Suncast 7.5 x 3ft shed with a floor for $459 (regularly $599). It is a resin material, comes with 2 doors and...

Bo, Thanks for the info. I placed an order for the 10.8V version - comes with 2 batteries and a charger for $68 (reconditioned) :thumbup: Can't wait to start screwing around :bounce: Mordi

I have 2 DW 9057 7.2 Volt batteries for my cordless screwdriver and one of the batteries has just gone bad. A replacement battery is approx. $29. Just wondering how long before the other battery goes bad and should I just buy 2 replacement batteries ($58) or should I purchase a new tool? I have...

I was thinking of building a storage cabinet with a foot controlled latch installed on the base to hold each of the side doors in place. The idea is that the cabinet doors would fully open only when the latch is released. I have looked and been unable to find that type of latch anywhere...

Guys, Thanks for the replys. As it turns out, the low voltage wire that was connected to the transformer was a short piece (about 2 ft long). The short piece of wire was connected to a longer piece of wire with 2 wire nuts. I tightened up the connections at the wire nuts and the lights came on...

My apologies if this subject appears to be off topic, but there is a tie in to the garage :) The 300W low voltage power pack (transformer) for one of my outdoor lighting runs is located on the wall in my garage. The system has worked for 2-3 years like a champ until a few days ago. I only have...

They are still in the Costco's here in San Diego. BTW, I bought one some time back :thumbup: Mordi

Funny you asked about this. I just purchased some Glidden PVA Drywall Primer and Sealer at Home Depot. There was a recent price reduction and the price is now about $8.50 a gallon - and even less if you buy a 5 gallon tub. It is recommended for new drywall. Mordi

Some good ideas mentioned here. I got enough info to do some damage :bounce: Thanks to everbody for their help:thumbup: Mordi

Sometime in the future, I would like to build a built in stone BBQ island in my backyard. The area I have in mind is a stamped concrete pad located under open air patio, adjacent to the house. The concrete on the patio is approx. 4 inches thick and reinforced with rebar. 1) Can I use the...

I tried the Lowe's here in San Diego and no luck - nobody knew nothin about no clearance :mad: Mordi

We recently spent a whole bunch of money to have all the popcorn ceilings removed from the interior of our house. It was practically in every room. It took the guys a full day to remove and retexture the ceilings (skip trowel finish). Money well spent. The popcorn look (or as my wife refers to...

Hi Jorgen, I really like the look of your product :thumbup: I was wondering about how to install Racedeck in a garage that has several "twists and turns" for areas that have wardrobe type closets with sliding doors. I would imagine the tile would lay under the sliding doors, but what about the...

I was thinking about buying some reconditioned tools (i.e. miter saw and nailer) from Amazon. The tools will be for occasional use, just around the house. Has anybody purchased reconditioned tools thru Amazon? - Any issues/problems/concerns. The reports I have read on line all look so favorable...
