Yay. Damn. I was hoping it'd be easy.

I've got a 20X30 detached garage in Tempe, and I'm debating putting a carport off to one side. It'd be attached to the concrete on one end, and just be a simple roof with a very mild slope. Question is, would I need a permit to do something like this in AZ?

I've got one and I love it. Keep all my sockets and wrenches in it, plus any often used tools. Love that thing.

I was at the optometrist today, and I saw an ad for garagetown.com. Long story short, it's a condo development of only garages. Looks like a lot of people use it primarily for storage, but some guys are building small offices in there and stuff. 24X48, 16X48, seems kinda neat. Not sure how...

Got that same order this morning. Fortunately for me, I picked it up yesterday. After I read this post, I went online and ordered it right away. It was 5 before I got to the store, and I hadn't received my confirmation email yet, so I was feeling nervous. I go to merchandise pickup, and it was...

Mac and Matco both have these little tool cars that have either a slide out stainless top or a expandable top, with 2 drawers below them. In my case I can put all my sockets and screwdrivers in the top section under the stainless, then my wrenches in drawer 1, electrical drawer 2, and most used...

Prepare for a long story. I work for a fleet maintenance company with 5 techs, and I'm the office manager in the back who wrenches on stuff when he can. Up until a few months ago, we only had a Snap-On guy coming by the shop, but then one of the guys literally chased down a Mac truck, and...

I'm sorry, did you say First Vehicle Services? As in the company? Because I work for them.

I'll tell ya, I live in Tempe, and my 2 ton'er was barely cooling my 600 sq ft garage. We have a 3.5 ton on the house which is 1300 sq ft, so when my garage a/c finally gave up the ghost we got a good deal on a 3.5 ton 12 seer unit for the space. It's being installed as we speak. From what I...

Back in October I moved into a new house with a detached garage. The house a/c unit is a gas unit, and was on the fritz, so we spent $3800 to get a 3.5 ton 13 seer a/c and gas heater unit, installed, out the door. The house is 1303 square feet. My garage is a 20X30 detached, and the roof...

Yup, those are along the lines of what I'm looking for. I had heard Sears sold them, but no luck there either.

A buddy of mine told me he saw on either Trucks or Musclecar or something, a transmission jack adapter that went into your standard jack. It drops right in the hole in your standard jack, and then you don't have to buy a dedicated ****** jack. Any idea where to find that?

That the syclone that was in Sport Truck a few months ago?

Great link. That's along the lines of what I was looking for, thanks. Well honestly I'm not going to motorize either one of the gates. It's cost prohibitive, and really not that important to me. Although I do use the gates daily, I can get out of the car to open them, I'm not quite that lazy...

Ok, sure. 1. I want the fence to be 6 feet high, if not a smidge taller, so that I can keep prying eyes away. I'd like it to be fairly strong, but it doesn't need to take a mack truck ramming into it or anything. Privacy though is the most important thing, because I don't want anything to be...

Well they're not in Mesa, they're in New Mexico according to their site, but I emailed them for a quote so we'll see what happens. As far as the usage of the gates, I do use them to pull cars and trucks in and out of, pretty much every day, and pretty soon I'll be pulling a trailer in and out...

Unfortunately, closest one is in Bakersfield, about 10 hours away. Right now they're a single swing style, which is what's putting the pressure on the hinges. I can tell that the original owner or builder wanted to do double gates, by the holes in the concrete for a post. To make things more...

The property I live on right now has this really cool backyard setup. I've got my 20X30 garage that's air conditioned and is accessible through the back alley. Then I've got my two sidelots, with these two mammoth gates. Problem is, the gates ****. See the original owner built them one way, and...

I picked up a set of the 3/8 Mac Edge sockets a few weeks ago, and I too was impressed with the quality. Then I came into a real problem, and figured I'd put them to the test. I had a bolt that was ground at a 45 degree angle, such that only half of the hex was even there anymore. Channel locks...

I know this is going to come off as blasphemy here on this site, but I don't really care where my tools come from, as long as they work and work well. I do think that a lot of stuff from overseas is ****, but it's not like Sears isn't farming out their stuff nowadays. I love my edge sockets...
