I remember you commenting about liking the S10. The extended cab is important when you are a tall guy.

My shop building is steel clad and the signal from the router in my house will not penetrate. I want to move my PC and a smart TV (streaming video) to the shop and also have phone connectivity. Will this work? Run an ethernet cable with RG45 connectors from the router in my house to the shop...

We have been using Direct TV for our cable TV and just started using a fiber optic service from our electric coop (Empower). We are slowly weaning ourselves off of Direct TV as we enable our TVs for streaming service. My shop is a metal building that is best described as a wifi dead zone. Out...

Be careful about using in service power poles as a part of anything constructed.

Thanks guys. I am going to do the welding later this week and I will post a report when I am finished.

A weld on my ban saw's motor mounting pad has cracked/failed. It wasn't welded all that good from the factory in China (where else) and the only remedy that I can think of is reinforcing/fixing the existing welds is more weld. I know that the ground needs to be located where where the...

Nice.

Nicely done.

Good to see you are coming around and getting back at it. I;m glad you passed on the Caddy. In my mind models from that era are just big old land barges. Current models are more compact and Belinda gets 30 mpg on the road with her 2017 XT5. She likes to trade for a new one every other year...

Now that you know you can't fly. Building looks really good. Waiting for the "right" guy is almost always worth the delay. You haven't posted you general location. Suggest that you do that as it help us (viewers & commentators) place your project in context. Are you planning to live in...

Many years ago my doctor, in regards to physical effort, told me that anything that did not kill me was good for me. The trick is listening to your body and cooling it when the message is "break time." On your list of lifestyle changes you need to add "shed a few pounds" or stones whatever...

Looks like your early photos have faded a bit.

Wish I could help with your scissors lift question. I do know that there are a number of build threads here where a scissors lift was installed in the floor to keep the surface level. You might do a search for "scissors lift" and if you get hits follow up with personal messages to the posters...

A Nova with an LS/LT and suspension upgrade is a **** kicking combination.
