I purchased this used custom cabinet for $100 used. They originally wanted $200, so I think I got a pretty good deal. :) I plan on using it as a hutch/bar in our kitchen dining area. It doesn't have anything terribly wrong with it, besides a crappy paint job and one side got damaged during...

I’m looking to add a new circuit to my electrical panel. There is plenty of space for the new breaker, but the neutral / ground bar is totally full. That’s not a big deal for the ground wire as you can have more than one ground wire to a screw. But it is a problem for the neutral as you are...

I don't know much about electricity, that's why I'm here. i have a battery that has a positive and negative wires, but has a ground wire. Right now, all three wires are connected to a chip. The connecting piece has it's own wires. Connecting the positive and negative does successfully...

Hello I got a 18"x60" granite slab (countertop) that I want to mount on the side of my garage wall in my backyard so people can place their drinks on it like a bar while we converse on sunny afternoons. I might even get some bar chairs for it. How can I mount this thing on the side of the...

I've never built anything with wood so I'm trying to compensate by planning this out as much as possible. I'm a 3d animator so I created a digital model of my basement and built the bar digitally. I'm planning on building the real thing now (if the wife approves), so I'd like to know if there...

This is the home bar my wife and I built. It took about 2 months. We made all our own molding with the exception of the dental molding and the corbels. For all the photos throughout the build you can go to my website which is http://www.howardboehm.com

I am wanting to build a simple 3'x5' granite top bar. I want it to be standing height, free standing, and it only needs 1 or 2 shelves in it. I have no clue where to start.

Hello, I'm trying to determine what size header I need for a pass through window that I am building. The house is a townhouse that is only 17' wide. The opening will be 5'4" wide in the middle of this 13'6 wide wall. There is already one doorway in the wall. The wall runs parallel to the...

In preparation for a basement finishing, I had my licensed electrician move my panel away from the service entrance. To meet code (distance from entrance to shutoff), he had to install a main shutoff outside, then run the cable to my relocated box (and which also has it's own main shutoff)...

I'm building a knee wall for my new kitchen island with a raised counter around 2 sides. The lower part of the island will be the standard 36" height with the countertop. The raised portion will be 42" with the counter. This gives me about a 4.5" backspash to install receptacles in. Is there...
