    2024 tool truck sightings.

    Company requirement. Told them they can all be here between noon and 5 pm. That way they get both shifts. Makes it easy since I don’t need to remember different days for different trucks.

    Large Right Angle Grinders

    I bought a 9" Ingersol Rand air grinder at an auction a few years ago. I don't have a compressor that can keep it running. I keep grabbing my milwaukee battery grinder now a days. But I don't do a lot of metal work.

    Driveway to Road Transition Too Steep - Car Scrapes

    I would imagine no swimming, But the slip and slide would be awesome. With enough vodka and midgets, you could set up bowling pins at the bottom and really have some fun.

    Garage addition?

    I like this plan. Turn the existing 1 car garage into your dream bedroom. I wouldn't add a second story to the existing house. Too much reengineering to get it right. Add the 2 car garage to the side and a bonus room above that if you want. I assume, the existing 1 car garage is used for...

    Thin gloves to keep oils and cleaners off hands

    I use them and they are supplied by work. I can tell when the chemicals I am working in start to degrade the glove, when I notice that, I change them. We get several to choose from. I choose the thickest nitrile. I will look to see exactly what they are when I am at work next.
