It’s over 50 years old and I was given it about 40 years ago by my friend’s dad. It has moved with me 3 times. I didn't use varnish, but I have stained and rehabbed it over the years with stiffening and added that finish-ply top about 17 years ago. I stained that too. Since then, I give the top...

I have a DeWalt 20V that I use all the time for small stuff and my vehicles. My wife loves it for doing the baseboards inside too.

Mine is 2x4's laid flat with 5/8" finish plywood on top of that. Very solid and tough in my use.

Pro TV here! Just upgraded to a 50” TV to replace my old 30”. We live in good times when you can buy a budget smart TV this size, 4k resolution, and Ultra HD for less than $200. I have it wired to an older AV receiver with a bluetooth receiver attached. I enjoy TV or Pandora when I am...

I bought this gen cozy. It does the job ok: Gen cover

@atch - I got the batteries as a freebie with any purchase promotion. I keep them in my desk drawer for when my mouse needs a change. They have done well under that light load. I also grabbed the shank adapters. Great to have for my impact driver. PASS to both.

I am in New England and use this in my 624 sf garage with 10’ ceilings. It heats the space nicely in a short time. I use a fan on a remote switch set on a high shelf to push the warm air down from the ceiling too: Heater link

1.46 acres here. I have neighbors on either side but we are not on top of each other, and we don't mind hearing the kids playing. We did do some strategic Norway spruce planting on one side for a visual buffer. Our lot backs up to 36 acres of conservation land. We love it, though the bears...

Off topic a little, but I thought I would throw this in - corded is significantly less convenient, but the power is very good if you can live with a cord. I have this one: https://youtu.be/-Ymr6Hp5GoQ I‘m on an acre and a half with 3 exterior outlets and some long cords. For the limited cutting...

Took a trip to Lowes and ended up with this. The bulbs cost roughly triple what the fixture cost! I like this solution as I was able to put it on a dimmer switch for when the bears need a break from the nebula! Thanks for the input all.

Great guidance. Thank you!

I hear you. I have a steep rise behind my house that we have planted. Its beautiful and I would like to light that at night (But not necessarily beyond it.)

This looks great! I need to light about 100’ To my back hill rise. Do you this this will do that? Thank you!

So I was gifted an Amazon gift card and would like to use for a backyard flood light. We back up to the woods and get a bit of snow and would like to see it at night. I have a carriage style light on my back garage entrance and would like to replace it with a bright flood. I would welcome any...
