Thanks for the link :beer:

Thanks for the responses guyz. I was looking at them as an alternative to plywood, thinking that they would just be easier to move around. They're for my attic in my house where I would use them just to get around in tight spaces.

Anyone know where I can get these cheaper ? http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_3000&L2=L2_3010&SKU=33570 Thanks, Scott

I also just picked this up too. Great book so far. :thumbup: The Home Depot books are pretty good from what I've read. I haven't bought one yet. I just go to HD when I have a question and treat it as a library. The B&D books look pretty good too from what I've read in bookstores.

The door and garage is ancient. Not sure how heavy it is, but it's solid wood with 4 glass panes on the top panel. It's a little over 6' tall, not sure how wide. It's not too bad to open it manually since 1 spring is still intact. I'm guessing it'll be more than 130 because I'd like to get...

I just got rough quote of $130 to replace my extension springs. Is that a good ballpark ? Reality is, after reading about the dangers involved in this fix, I don't think I'm willing to do this myself.

Stopped by at Ace hw yesterday and picked up graphite powder. For $1.79, I figured how can I go wrong. Did the rollers and hinges and it's whisper quiet now. Also noticed that there's a wheel missing. The missing wheel causes the door to make a little hum when the door gets to the top. The...

Thought I was losing my marbles...ok, so that is new. Kool !

Thanks for the feedback guyz ! I was thinking white lithum grease. Was hoping to redo the garage in '06, but '07 looks more realistic now. Bought and dormered a house this year. I need a break from construction. Figured I'd be able to migrate the GDO to the new garage.

What do you guyz use to lube the garage door hinges, tracks, etc. with ? I just installed a Chamberlain belt drive opener. The door is ancient and creaks like crazy.

Totally hear you on the investing front. Best advice I learned out of school. A Skyline swap would be nice. I was in the middle of my 280zx turbo upgrade when I ran out of money. Was in the middle of a Tec II engine mgt. system. Still have the car and hopefully will find time to bring it...

I currently have a 1 car garage-a-ma-hut and planning on blowing it away for a 2 car (hopefully within a year). I'm starting to read up on lifts as well since I pretty much want to build the garage with the lift in mind. I was poking around on bendpak's site yesterday and stumbled into their...

Love the trusses :drool:

nice link I was thinking of building parts of this one. http://www.rd.com/familyhandyman/articles/200212/fixit/main.html

I picked up the DEWALT DC4KITA 18-Volt, 4 Tool Cordless Combo Kit earlier this year. Basically for weekend warrior work. I like the circular saw so far. It's a 6 1/2 inch.

Ok, I hear what you're saying about the reusable filters getting to a point of no return. Kinda like how some K&Ns get to a point when it's not worth the hassle of cleaning and just buying a new one. For now, I think I'm going to use this reusable one and keep washing it. I'll look into 3M...

I have one of those "reusable" filters. How often should it be cleaned ? I was told every couple of months by the installer. Which is better ?...Reusable or replacements ?

I recently had 2 2-ton Units put in my house. 1 for each floor. Each floor is roughly 900 sq-ft. It seemed like enough for us this past summer. I was told by the installer, that it is a good idea to keep the A/C on all the time during the summer because the system doesn't have to work as...
