    Dent repair advice

    The gouge looks to be "tied" into the frame, so PDR will not be helpful. Any dent, gouge, or abnormality that creases into the edge will have minimal results. Tougher fix than it appears as the lip is turned up along the panel. The plastic, epoxy and touch up. Wipe w/ gasoline to clean...

    Might need to Pull out 22 each 15-20' Arbovities

    maddox ax. Just ripped out a bunch of azaleas and got most w/ chain, but had to cut and manual labor the rest. Plenty of water, gloves, a two bit ax, round point shovel, pry par, yard rake, and a big fat joint to get you in the right mood. Yup, it sucked, my shirt was on for about 5 minutes...

    Other than a bonfire any suggestions on what to do with . . . .

    drill a hole in the middle, run rope, and hang it is a heavy duty windsock, call in art, be insulted and insensitive if someone differs. Acutally I use what I can for additional bracing on framing and have very little left over and then bonfire......

    Fellow GJ'er and friend just lost home/barn/shop in worst CO fire in history *pics*

    Keep us informed, my thoughts and prayers to all. Get a detailed list of all things possible for insurance and/or fema. Hopefully the insurance will be gratitious in this situation, but certainly not a time to rush, as things will continue to pop up. Seen it go both ways, insurance reimburses...

    Oakley Sunglasses 55.99 shipped

    bat house..any body have em on your property?

    Great pics!! Funny MIL bat box. I would avoid putting on the house, as things get gooey around and underneath. It would stand to reason, that first you must have bats in the area and not sure about the bat box being much incentive. I have seen some w/ residents, but they already had bats...

    Ebay, one to watch?......

    60.75 for me here, but seller is a noob and probably just letting ebay auto calculate. probably willing to work out shipping, or if local on G to the J here, would be a great local pickup, imo. For me, it would be something else just sitting around collecting dust.

    Ebay, one to watch?......

    38 piece 1/2 crowfoot set in box, proto. Listing #111104462733 (can't get pic, sorry & pressed for time) Sometimes the big shipping charge chases off potential bidders, but if you are in need, this may be a good buy if under 100, imo. Don't use the c-foot often enough myself, but solid set...

    Are intermediate chests worth it?

    I have a 3 drawer napa intermediate box, which I like, but as stated, the top of my matco 26" box becomes unusable and I'm 6'2". Furthermore, I had to bolt the damn thing to the wall so it wouldn't topple if someone started to be a jackass. Mac/Napa/Matco. I've been thinking about an upgrade...

    Mosquitoes - How are you fighting them?

    I keep one of these in my shop and it's really the only product I endorse for mosquito's. Of course get rid of any standing water issues around property or use dunks. The bug dope has limitations, the fan is helpful, clothing a must. Mosquito magnets work well in heavy areas, but are...

    Crawl Space and House Jacking

    Define "crawlspace" Might be easier to cut hole in the floor to do work, imo - esp. if the crawlspace is so low you have to belly craw' like a baby..........
