    How do you organize small hardware (nuts & bolts etc...) ?

    I'm really going to have to expand my storing capabilities. I'm bidding on a lot of hardware on an online auction of a lumber yard near me. If I win even half of the things I'm bidding on I'll need a shitload more hardware storage. But man do I love nuts and bolts.

    What did you do "TO" your garage today?

    Re: What did you do to your garage today? 120 degree heat index here yesterday. I work on the sides of buildings wearing an air fed hood. No, the air fed into the hood is not cool. It's hotter than the outside air. I worked till 9:30 Monday, 9:00 Tuesday, and didn't even bother going in...

    Is this enough area for cement truck to maneuver?

    It's 5 courses around here. Why would there be extra fill needed? We often times get frost down 5-6'

    Is this enough area for cement truck to maneuver?

    2 yards? 2-3 wheelbarrows and just as many friends and wheel it in from the street.

    Is this enough area for cement truck to maneuver?

    They will go through a ton more than the average Joe thinks they will. Remember, most of their deliveries are to new construction. Bunch of muddy lots, no driveways, etc. You really have to have a mud hole to get one stuck. And yes, I worked in concrete. Residential. And rural. I've...

    And absolutely worthless if the footings are in a trench.;) Which they most likely are in Mi.

    Is this enough area for cement truck to maneuver?

    Lot of expensive advice for such a small project. Get the truck in there and get whatever he can reach. Have a wheelbarrow ready for what he can't. If you like wasting money rent a pump or a motorized buggy. How come no one has asked if the footings are on grade or in a 5' trench? I'll...

    Any ideas how to get caulk out of the expansion joints?!

    Don't do the angle grinder. Angle grinder + caulk= melted caulk shooting in all directions. I know. I'm a caulker. Is it hard or rubbery? If it's rubbery just use a utility knife. I use these, but you most likely don't have one. There really is no easy way with the tools the...

    Desert Car Kings - Larry the idiot - paints with a dust mask...

    Yeah... why wouldn't they strip the interior of the car and get it cleaned up before they paint? They're going to need to strip it eventually. Why not do it first and start with a bare car? What would it take? Couple hours if you're saving some trim and stuff? I can't believe all the...

    Mixing Your Own Concrete

    Think about it and do the math, and I think you'll quickly realize what a pain in the *** it would be to mix it yourself. Getting the mixer, buying the concrete, hauling it home, yada,yada. I don't know if the savings would justify it. I'd maybe talk to the redimix plant and see if your...

    Mixing Your Own Concrete

    There's really no way to mix that much and get it poured before you end up with cold joints.
