Dasboot?

Maybe the builder of the door and window allowed for a small amount of settling? The door and accents looks to be like 6' across. Long stretch with no support in middle. Put a level on the brick, window frame, he77, even the stained glass window itself. Would cut the top trim in pieces and...

The door panels might possibly have gotten out of level. Put a 4' level on each door panel, mine did the door jerk and then run ok the rest of the day. Bottom panel was off, so all other panels were too! Loosened bolts, tweaked the panels level, not another jerk at all. Another idea I...

If the house was built in 1956, there must have been some remodeling done. Are there any old style storm windows left? A large double pane storm window would be ideal to display the apron. A storm window and that apron, both used at the same house! Maybe some pictures of him and the...

Check with the permit office, dept. of health, neighbors, old septic tank pumpers, hell, even the old neighborhood busybody. Somebody knows the answers that you seek! Take a probe and go 2' to 3' in an ever widening circle to see how big an area you will be dealing with. (if you buy it)...

I used an old garden hose on mine. The bottom of the door had a rubber membrane, that attached to both sides that was flattened down, leaving no give for the uneven concrete. Previous owner had too much down pressure. Used an old garden hose with holes in it, cut off the brass fittings, shoved...

( The rest of the time there was a short in one of the wires somewhere. Could be a staple that just pinches it a little bit causing a voltage drop.) I used a nail and positioned it under a piece 3/4" square cardboard. In center of cardboard and straddling the nail, staple a 5/8 long...

I use an OLD turkey baster. Tilt snow blower, so one corner is down hill. insert baster,squeeze bulb, air out and gas in repeat till empty. This also gets all the little pieces of **** and who knows what, out of the tank. Do not need it going thru the gas line! Also if baster won't fit into the...

You knew what you were going to do before asking here. All it took was a little validation on the forum members part. This gentleman needed a hand up, not a hand out! Karma will be on the horizon for you. Not today, maybe not this week, but it will eventually reach you. T.J.

Any grain elevators around? They are always derailing cars, by the r-r or the elevators themselves. After they do derail, there should be bent and/or damaged rails, laying around. Plus, there also should be straight replacement rail, 39' with 2 bolt holes on each end. You might have to pay a...

Maybe get 4-5 old brake shoes. Make them like a C only laid on their back. Paint-em up, orange for chevy,blue for ford ect. A couple of drums on each end laid flat for hat racks. T.J.

As a previous poster replied, scrape all the rust,dirt and mill scale off. There should be a company mark, with the size, date, year and if it came from the top C, middle A or bottom B of the ignot. This is repeated every three feet along the rail. A real good way to find out what you have...

Any way to extend the small garage? Sides or end, maybe give him a little more elbow room. If so, he might like to rearrange the shop more efficiently. Then! !, you can get him something to fill the empty space.(lol lol lol lol. T.J.

When I'm at a sale, house or farm. If I see this type of behavior going on. I go up to rack and/or helper. Tell them that this is the last sale of his I go to if this kind of activity continues. All the auctioneers know me VERY well. IF they don't tell the parents or crowd to control their...

As previously stated the Union Pacific is very serious on trespassers. At every safety meeting and job briefing,we are constantly told to report any activity. For 2 and 1/2 years I was one of the flag men on the new concrete bridge, that the UP built over the Des Moines river in Iowa. We...
