  1. Harbor freight for me has gotten to where you have to watch the prices very closely and get the cheapest brand they carry to get the value out of the tool. They started carrying more than just the Chicago electric stuff and it's too pricey for the junk that it is so I just go buy Milwaukee or something similar at Lowe's.

     

    I love my old harbor freight tools and still have a ton of them that I use constantly.

     

    I agree completely. You go in there now and not really much is cheap anymore. Would rather go to spartan tool or home depot. I get harbor freight wants to have more of a reliable reputation, but dont go away from what made them popular.

  2. I added insulated garage door that I think was r17 for an attached single car garage thats insulated. Since the door is metal, went with more insulation since even aluminum will lower temperatures. Really only need a small space heater to comfortably work in there during the winter, but fuck its hot in there during the summer. Having a smaller heating/cooling is needed if your going to be in there consistently if I thought we were staying long term. Even without a dedicated temp system, it's night and day from the years without an insulated door.

     

    If it was a detached two car garage, I would go with the best insulated door I could find thats reasonably priced. Buy once and don't have to pay double down the road to replace it.

     

    For the trim, I had my wife hold a side of the trim with the lights off in garage while I'm inside for the 1st piece. If I can see light, then move it closer. I can also tell from that what i should shoot for distance wise. Figured the more light, the more cold air that gets in. Take it with a grain of salt
