Ive got tons of room in the basement for storage. It's basically empty except a washer / dryer, air compressor which is plumbed out into the garage & one metal storage shelf. Below the steps is pretty ugly anyhow and id like to keep it out of sight. I have thought though if I get around to...

Primed the walls and cut in around the stringers with the same semi gloss white ive been using everywhere else this morning. Picked up some lumber this afternoon and cut out new treads and risers. Everything is glued with Poly adhesive and screwed. Jobs about 95% done, just got to paint out the...

It's just an assumption, someone else may have some more ideas before you drop the trans. Do you by chance have access to an inspection camera? I cant remember the tolerances within the bell housing but theres a slim chance you might be able to visually see it before you pull it off again.

Is the other end of the throwout fork clipped in place with the required clip atop of the pivot ball? the pop could have been the plastic/nylon strands preventing the slave push rod from fully extending during shipping snapping apart intentionally during the first use.

Removed the old stringers tonight and cut new ones. Briefly attempted trying to figure a way to reuse the existing stringers but after measuring them I found the runs and rises all varied... they all should be the same. one of the rises was 1.5" higher than the rest of them. It's really...

It is Drylok Bamboo Beige latex concrete floor paint. I am not sure of the durability though, Its cheap @ about $40/gallon. Seems to be holding up well in the basement so far though I have read it tends to turn into a maintenance thing with tire pickup when used in a garage.

Applied a second coat to the floor yesterday. While waiting for floor paint to cure being that im not really able to do much else, I decided to disassemble the steps leading to the basement tonight to clean up this area and resolve the goofy stair stringers. Whomever built them built them from...

Cut in and rolled a 1st coat after work. Not my first choice for a garage color... but this particular color is the cheapest compared to the other colors for some reason but it looks better than it was before. Would have liked to do it all at once but dont want to disassemble and move the...

Spent Sunday morning moving stuff around in the garage clearing what I possibly could up off the floor. Sunday afternoon I degreased the floor and used a surface cleaner attachment for my pressure washer. Worked out really nice, got alot more up off the floor than I expected to be there as well...

Seem to remember using penetrating oil, a super long extension with a swivel and a short socket. reached up from basically ground level and think I went between the frame and fender & frame and oil pan. Think there was a few choice words said at the time too. Dont let the penetrating oil get on...

Seen various articles about lots of product theft, incorrect barcodes being scanned for the product and skip scanning at self checkouts lately. Might be trying to recoup some of the lost monies from shrink by forcing a subscription for access or pay an additional fee to use it with less employee...

Nice writeup

Just finished first coat of paint after spot priming this morning. got a coat on the ceiling bleed through spots I also primed over with the red/white spray can of kilz. spent yesterday after work moving all the stuff from this bench wall to the other walls and shelving. its getting old moving...

Your throwout bearing telling you it's time to get serious about replacing it. Might as well do the whole clutch kit while you're in there. If you do the clutch job yourself, dont have the flywheel resurfaced as it is slightly domed and machining will mill it flat.

Rolled 2 coats of paint on the ceiling tonight and got a second coat on the walls above the shelving. Come to find out what I thought was high gloss paint is just semi gloss. High or low gloss... it's still better than flat for walls in a garage IMO.
