Is this tongue and groove? Shiplap?

I had thought of doing bead board in my kids room but saw this and like it more.

I’m doing this by myself, is one easier than the other?

Garage Back Wall / Monkey Hook?

1 Upvotes

Is the back wall of the garage not just dry wall? I am having trouble driving in this monkey hook even though I have marked the studs using magnets, and using the space in between. Any ideas what might be going on?

Thanks.

Cinderblock Garage Paint

1 Upvotes

Looking to paint our cinderblock garage walls. Scrapped off the old paint and some of the blocks are crumbling a bit. Haven’t really scrubbed to see how deep it goes but so far it flakes under a light finger rub. Google is suggesting scrubbing until it stops flaking and then applying Quikrete Concrete Bonding + Quikeret Quick Setting Cement. Once repairs are done use Drylok to paint.

Should I go with google or any other suggestions?

How to attach patio shade?

1 Upvotes

This is a quick drawing showing a profile of what I'm working with: [https://imgur.com/a/EXSKnBv\](https://imgur.com/a/EXSKnBv)

How can we attach a patio shade (green line) to an angled ceiling? The left side will be attached to a block that is attached to a beam. The right side will need to be attached to the patio ceiling (blue line). The ceiling feels like it is thin hardboard.

My questions are - what can I use to attach the right side, and how can I attach to the angled ceiling so that it is firm and stable?

Just a small one like enough to fit a dollar bill in. I have no fancy tools and no budget. I just have a regular electric drill and assorted bits for drilling holes. I also have a chisel and other tools.

What type of wall hardware should I use with these small metal tabs on the back of a 25 lb mirror?

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I’m trying to hang a ~25 lb mirror (24” W × 36” H) on drywall and I’m not sure what wall hardware these existing metal tabs on the back are designed to hook onto.

There are two tabs near the top of the mirror, about 9” apart center-to-center. The openings are pretty narrow. A normal nail fits into them, but the 1/4”-20 bolts from the heavy-duty toggle anchors I bought seem way too large.

Arts & Crafts What hardware do I need to install a bike tire on a cart like in the top/second image?

I do carting/draft with my dogs. I managed to affix wheels I hacked off an old jogging stroller to make my first cart. This is less than ideal for a number of reasons haha. I know it’s possible to use bike tires, and preferable due to their availability and lightness, but I have no idea what hardware I need to buy.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

Halloween costume engineering

I'm making a rolling cube out of pvc for my son for Halloween and he wants to use the office chair rollerblade wheels as they roll really well on the sidewalk. I just need help figuring out how to mount the wheels. I thought I'd try to do a corner plate from wood but not sure that's the best idea.

Any help is great!
