The garage, or what we call engine room where we park our trucks has the walls and ceiling covered in antique tin panels. We would hate to remove the tin and have it scrapped. Is anyone ...

I did this by hanging the lamp out in the garage, and having a small step-stool to support the bottom. After removing the nuts,(be careful not to scratch the finish), ...

Couple of Ideas: 1) A friend with some teak lawn furniture on the roof of his garage/balcony cleans it up every year or so when it turns black with a 90 dollar pressure washer from Home Depot. It looks great when he is done. 2) There are a couple brands of deck wood cleaner available that use sortof...

Robin, I have just undertaken that task. It took me 2 days, but it is DONE! I took it out to the garage and went to work. First lean it over and drain as much oil as you can. Then hang it low enough so you can work on it comfortably. (I drove a nail in the ceiling and bent it over to hold it). I the...
