Thats not very /diy/ of you

What if you have a two car garage and can only fit one car in there?

Plus being able to work on the car under a roof is so much better than doing it in a driveway. Mostly because of my annoying unemployed (retired?) neighbor who will come over and try to ask a million questions whenever I’m working on something.

The power cord across the ceiling and wall does trigger me

[Anonymous No.1407329]

>>1407318
I have a two car garage and only one car. The left half is my "Wet" area where the car, lawnmower, bikes, chemicals/gas et al go, whereas the right is my woodshop, complete with cheap laminate flooring. I have a modular table in the center of the garage that has a powerstrip that has the cord going to the rafter and over to a plug on the wet wall.

It drives me nuts there's no better solution.

My neighbor right across the street is cool because he is employed like me. So when we are trying to work on a project, we’re trying to get it done that day and not start 6 other projects with annoying ass unemployed neighbor.

I’ll be trying to mow my lawn before i gotta go to dinner with the girl and unemployed cunt comes over and takes apart his lawnmower in my garage and starts breaking stuff that wasn’t broken in the first place.

Install another branch circuit with a few outlets on the "dry" side.

[Anonymous No.1407434]

>>1407432
I have plenty of outlets on the dry side but the modular table is in the center of the garage and no matter what I do, there will be a cord coming down from the rafter. I use a plug on the wet side since that's a separate 15 amp breaker from the other plugs on the dry side so I can run a high amp machine and the dust collector at the same time and not trip my weak ass breakers.

I took my bench with me when we moved. I have since widened the mitre base to fit a 12" Bosch compound sliding saw.
Also built an insert to turn the saw base into a router table.
This is based off of the family handyman mitre saw work bench

Oh this shit happens all the time. Like the other day I’m askin guy across the street (Joe) a couple questions about this baby tree he gave me to plant in the backyard. Joe’s the normal one, I just got home from work a few minutes before and he’s walking his dog. Next thing you know, unemployed guy Tom is waddling over shirtless with his weed whacker. It’s a Stihl and it’s top of the line! At least he has told me that two dozen times. Tom’s smashing the head of the thing on the sidewalk, cutting down to dirt in Joe’s perfect yard, and he’s bitching about how it’s out of line again.

Next thing you know, Joe puts the dog away and has 3 different things of trimmer line and the weed whacker is torn apart in my driveway and Tom is basically telling Joe to refill it for him. Get it back together and the line still doesn’t feed right.

Take it back apart, notice there’s no spring in the head like every other trimmer I have seen, so when you try and tap it to feed more line, it doesn’t work right and feeds every time it bounces around and runs out of line super quick. Tom has no clue because he has never seen an instruction manual. Google the shit, he’s amazed that I found a replacement spring online in 30 seconds, then goes on bitching about how he doesn’t have 4 days to order it and he wants it right now.

Well fuck Tom, you shoulda put the spring back in there last time you took your top of the line Stihl apart.

I have no clue what he did. I gave him the part number and went inside. I keep my garage door closed when I’m trying to get stuff done and don’t want to be sidetracked. He has been working on this other neighbor’s driveway post lamp thing for the past week trying to get a daylight sensor to work and I’m just like “I want nothing to do with it”.

>>1407399
Bruh, old people can’t into the internet at all. And Tom’s like mid-40s, not even ancient.

Gonna refrain from making a comment about the dresser used and a tool drawer. The orange sledge hammer on the right of the benchtop, is that a rebar handle on it?

[Anonymous No.1407935]

>>1407773
Yes it is. Something my dad made about 25 years ago.
Dresser was an old sidebar but i cut out the center section to make it fit under the rolling bench. I can take some pics of the rest of the garage later today, still haven't squeezed the car back in.

Its actually what I use, I like its smell, it works well, and its half the price of something like Tide

Just get Tide and wash your clothes half as often. You can wear those undies for 2 days.

Tide doesnt work twice as well, it just costs twice as much.

If I was going to wear dirty clothes, why wouldnt I just do that right now?
I bought the more economical soap in the first place, and now use half of it.

All my Mexican workers have cordless tools. Coincidentally, one of them showed up on the job with s near new set of Makita tools. I asked him where he got them and he said from some black guy, who most likely robbed a contractor, or construction site.
