It is whats left of a 1908 werner villeapod splash apron [right front section] that was torn off on a cold december night crash on the moonless night of the 24th. It flew off the car and came to rest upside down in a field of cow manure on the southeast side of the mountain.The next day,as seen...

In vermont I have a 6500kw generator, size is just what you need it for but a MUST is a GEN TRAN SWITCH , I can not shout that enough!!!!!!! You must be OFF LINE when running a generator or you risk KILLING a linesman...when the gen tran switch is wired correctly it puts the line power off when...

I also use Borax, I put it in wall cavities before I close them in and never had a problem, don't know if it is the reason but cheap insurance also under any cabinet instillations..

Don't know it is so messy haven't seen it in 3 months!

How was the label reproduced! It looks fantastic what was the process involved for the label?? thanks bobbycoke

the garage isn't full it's just TOO SMALL!

No more than a six pack!

"three legs are self leveling" well not true but it does the same thing any three points can form a plane ie:flat surface, that is why all milking stools are three leged.. on rough barn floor they will not rock even though they may not be level!! I am the holder of much useless information, I...

Not sure of your location but in Vermont I put in both rebar and fibermesh, maybe overkill but my excavator recomended it before the concrete guy did as insurance against cracks etc. especiaaly in the harsh swings of the winters here..... much easier to do than retrofit LOL :) Cost is minimal on...

30 amp over 100feet.... I don't think so it [10/3 at 30 amps] should not be longer than 100 foot run I believe, you would need 8 gauge wire and not to be used as an extension cord but hard wired in conduit etc! Do it right, do it once...

I use 5/8 firecode drywall to close in my shop walls and cieling than around the walls above counters and workbenches I use 5/8 plywood for hanging tools signs **** etc..... my question is does the drywall make this wall any less or more dangerious???? I felt that buy not having both sides of...

Just an idea that worked great for me, I believe it is called a monitor barn, sort of like a horse barn with a taller center section and two "lean to's" next to it . Mine is 36'x40' and the side walls are 8' they could be 10' to accomadate the 10' doors. The side lean to's are 10' wide by 36'...
