The Ring doorbell camera is also an option, depending where your front door is relative to your driveway.

I second the Ring camera..wireless, sends motion alerts to your phone and records video of all movement and stores it in the cloud

One more thing...true lawn nuts generally don't apply a preemergent combined with fertilizer...the time to apply preemergent is a little different than the time your lawn needs nitrogen ( up North, at least). Preemergent first, nitrogen a few weeks to months later. A great site is...

Don't apply pre emergent now. Plants germinate based on soil temps, not air temps. A typical indicator is when the forsythia (yellow flowered shrub) blooms. Yes, you can apply a preemergent more than once a season..but it really depends on how long the active ingredient is effective. Some only...

404 has it right...seal all air leaks into the attic. Above my master bath the snow on the roof always seemed to melt faster...went up into the attic and found that fan was poorly sealed to the ceiling and the common wall between my 2 baths had a nice 1/2" by 8' long gap between the sheetrock...

yeah, 'bar' was my first thought...?

Yep, I get the same thing in my garage every winter, too. (Yours is a lot fuzzier, though). Winter snow with salt melting off the cars and soaking into the expansion joints. I've always wondered if there was a way to neutralize it with some vinegar or other acid? Kind of like the products...

I was in the same boat, 9 yr old 1.5 AH batteries that were getting weak. I just bought another kit with drill driver and 2 new batteries at HD for $169..problem solved.

Morio..keep those pictures coming! Love the place!

I've found poly to be pretty forgiving...if it gets too hacked up you just scuff up the top coat with a random orbital sander and add some new coats. Looks like new.

Great pics so far! How are you planning to secure the shed to the ground..or will just the weight of the shed be enough to keep it in place with high winds?

I also installed a few of these...about $15 each from Amazon...and you almost need to wear your sunglasses in the garage!

I did a search and didn't see anything....we had a big storm blow through here last night (60-70mph winds) and a few garage doors in the neighborhood were buckled inward. The neighborhood is about 7-10 years old...all doors seem to be raised panel, insulated doors. Most are 3 stall garages with...

wow, I wouldn't expect or even want a shop to change any of my settings! For every 1 customer who might want their clock changed you'd probably have 10 who don't want anything changed. To ding you on the survey for that is nuts...

a great site to read up on the most current / cutting edge information regarding insualting is www.buildingscience.com

any insulation will be better than what you have...but if you want the best way - foam board applied to concrete (treat it just like a basement wall) will give a thermal brake and the best insulation. build your stud wall just inside of that..be sure to sheetrock, foam is flammable, and yes...

I don't see mention of whether the garage is below grade or not?...in my below grade basement I'll be gluing foam board directly to the concrete foundation, taping seams and foaming the perimeter...that's the ideal basement insulation...I'd still be heisitant installing non treated studs to a...

You'll also get the urge to apply stuff to your garage floor, too. My wife said "what the hell is densifier?" I told her it's a long story...

No kidding! After lurking here for a while I had to build a new workbench, buy more sockets and wrenches and buy another tool box to store them in! Get out while you can...otherwise you'll be sucked in like the rest of us!
