    What's your weekend project???

    My two sons and I are installing my 4-post Direct lift today, Saturday. I've got it unloaded, unpacked and laid out, ready to go. My wife is heading for the hills, she says, and will return home only when it is safe to do so.

    Northern Tool / Hydraulics, when was the last time...

    I get a catalog with every order and also get them in the mail regularly, both regular and sales catalogs. I actually prefer ordering online or picking up at the nearby store locations. The stores often will have a store-only sale on items I am interested in.

    Picked up my garage fridge, 1950s Admiral!

    Man, I want one of those. A few years ago they were free for the taking, now they are close to $1000. Those things run forever. They are perfect for a nostalgia type garage! Good find!

    I don't get it

    I love a clean garage, a show garage. All the cars in my detached garage are show cars, used only for cruising and shows. The only thing I have to do is change the oil, detail the cars, or just light maintenance. If I did work on my cars I would leave one bay as a work bay and keep it closed...

    First pic does resemble a brown recluse (fiddle back), very common here in Georgia. They are very innocent looking and love to hide in dark corners of unused spaces and crawl into shoes. I was bitten by one in our basement and WOW it was painful and made a big scar. The bite itself was not...

    Good while it lasted

    Hang in there, my friend. My wife has medical needs, too, and even with insurance and drug coverage, it has become so expensive just with copays and deductibles, it is ridiculous. Get an attorney to help with her disability. it is unfortunate we have to do that but sometimes it's the only...

    work in garage vs wife

    My wife loves the garage. She is helping me tile, paint, install cabinets and work benches, etc. She has always been a "car gal" so everything works out fine. If she wants to do something else, or I do, we go our separate ways and do our own thing. It just takes compromise on both our parts.
