I use the 3 in 1 garage door lube, linked in a previous comment. One shot to the length of each torsion spring while door is closed and another when it is open, all door panel hinges and the sleeves for the door roller axles. Twice a year at daylight savings. Also check the travel of the...

One other idea to drop the cost would be to see if the supplier has any discontinued colors or sheets that were miss cut to an odd length. I had a co-worker able to roof a 15'x20' gable roof shed with panels that were made wrong. Took some extra work on his end to cut them down to the correct...

Would like to get one for the wife as her crafting/Cricut tools are taking over the office desk drawers. Just not close to any Lowes stores and can not order it online.

I have a tool chest now that can comfortably fit all my tools, before I had the Craftsman blow molded case for my sockets and what did not fit into that went into two different plastic tool boxes. One for standard and the other for metric. I did motorcycle track days and was easier to grab the...

that is why I was upset and posted this thread. They removed the Extreme line from the stores and replaced with the Performax. We were also referring to the accessories for the Extreme Garage shelving. They had cabinet doors, peg board, a drawer and a few other add-ons for the shelving. When...

Not sure if they still have the accessories for the Extreme Garage shelving as I can not find it on the Menards website. I do not mind the tan color, since most of the shelving 15 years ago you had the choices of Tan, Beige or possibly a very light gray. I did find this in my search though...

I think there may have been one person that did the movable garage storage out of wood with the black bins that have the yellow tops. Then in less than a month.....BANG !! ALL over the social media pages and everyone doing their own video like they made and designed it themselves. LOL It is a...

I will try to get some pics tomorrow as we will be going to a concert tonight. Not to say that the weight capacity is much different between the two products, which you can see on the Menards website. Also not much of a fan of the black wrinkle finish on the Performax shelving. Another option...

I am in Sun Prairie, WI. Had a basement bar installed and they ran the lines on the outside wall. No issues from plumber, nor the inspector. Our master bath is on the Western side of the house and they have the sink on that wall. Possibly allowed to do it since the water lines are not...

There is a YouTuber that just built his dream garage for detailing and running his YouTube channel. His channel is called The Detail Geek. He started doing detail jobs at his house and then generated the funds to build a detailing specific shop.

Is this an "L" shaped staircase/landing or a "U". I too have a 9' basement ceiling and had this issue, but with a "L" staircase/landing. We first removed all the railings. The 54" x 12' sheets came as two sheets taped together. We had to split the sheets and carry them down one by one with a...

Door stops, to keep swing doors open on windy day, or due to the builder not setting the door properly and keeps closing on its own.

My door had issues this past Spring, nothing like you are having, kept stopping mid close to open back up. People I asked just told me to increase the down force of the motor, but I ended up buying some synthetic spray supplied by Ideal Overhead door. Sprayed the rollers, the axles of the...

Referring to your coat comment, that is why they call them Canada Goose and not North American Goose coats. LOL Our first snowfall here in WI which will of course melt in a few days. I was out shoveling the 2 inches of snow in just a hooded sweatshirt with a temp of 36 F and partial sun...

Seeing that it is a steep drive and having small loose gravel may all end up at the bottom of the drive eventually. I could not recall the commercial name for it, so I had to do a Google search. "Driveway Drainage Gravel Grid" Basically a grid that is installed, add the gravel and then able...

I saw a product on HGTV awhile back that goes up like vinyl siding and locks together in 16" tall sections called Trusscore. PVC corrugated panels. Only two colors and originally only available in Canada. Now some USA building supply companies carry it.

Always hard to visualize the size of things until you pack it full and wish you had added another 2 feet here and 10 feet there. If you know anyone that uses CAD drafting maybe they can draw something up for you. Or lay out the building with a string line and park everything in the lines and...

Back in the days of my father swinging the hammer framing houses, he took the scraps of 2x12s and made blocks 16" tall to set his old 1934 Ford and an enclosed trailer on over the winter months instead of using jack stands, along with placing some pieces of the **** carpet from building his...

Took a trip to my local Menards (Like a Home Depot, I live in Wisconsin) I was going to add a shelf to my existing Xtreme shelving setup and realized they have swapped out this brand for a cheaper one instore, Performax. I can still order online and free ship to store option, but I feel like...

First and best push mower I have had since 2009. Mine is a Troy Bilt with the Honda motor. A 1/4 acre of lawn, not including footprint of house.
