I have a two car garage with the door being on the wall that runs parallel with the gutters (I'm sure there's a better way to say that...) and I want to finish out the ceiling so I can store stuff above it. We just bought the house and previous owner put some random boards and crap up there...

Hi-I enjoy this site very much. I'm writing for the first time because I'm going to wire a workshop at my house that's 130 feet away.

Hello, I'm looking for some suggestions. I'm renovating a basement workshop that currently has asbestos floor tiles. The tiles are mostly intact and I would prefer to cover them as opposed to removal. I'm also trying to avoid drilling into these tiles since I'm pretty sure they're made of...

I found this simple idea for nesting metal frame work tables from the mythbuster guys. I don't own any welding gear right now, and I don't have any plans for future welding projects. Any idea how much it would cost someone to weld the metal legs/frame of the table together? How is the best way...
