It probably varies from town to town, but I went by the main fire station here and asked if they would mind taking a look at my detached workshop to see if there were any fire hazards I'd missed. Th

Four 2x4s and a 2x6 crossbeam would probably be plenty. If you're working indoors, though, you might consider running a 2x6 or 4x4 in the ceiling to hold the load. An interesting alternative, if you

A friend gave me a large enameled steel laundry sink for free a few years ago when he remodeled. I've seen others around for free or cheap. Unfortunately, I never quite got enough round tuits to bui

Much depends on the locality. Considering the anal-retentive attitude of most building/zoning authorities, it is worthwhile to thoroughly check any construction, wiring, or other work with any appli

Probably good ideas for Massachussetts. Further south, the problem is usually to avoid as much heat as possible. Due to lot shape, my door faces east, but it will face north on the next shop. Beside

If the building is already up and you want to go through the centers of the studs, you have only two choices: PVC and copper. Unless you can cut through the outside of the building to feed pipe thro

I was thinking about the linoleum/vinyl route when I built mine, but cheaped out with paint instead. The "jackstand problem" could be dealt with by some Masonite or plywood pieces of appropriate siz

If you're on 24" centers you can probably bend the pipe in between two studs. On 16" centers you might wind up notching an adjacent stud to get a little extra room. It's easiest to start in the midd

Gakk! I hate those coiled yellow hoses. If they don't snarl they kink. If you manage to avoid that, they usually have enough tension to whip blowguns and small tools away whenever you lay them down.

What I've never figured out was, why the light was $8-$10, but a replacement ballast is $15-$20. Cheaper to just buy a new light, though it offends my sensibilities.
