dawn dish soap, and a dash of salt for the grit. Rinse with water and good to go. Have kept a used mustard squeeze container of each in the shop for years. its available, cheap, and safe.

Nice. I llike the trailer, looks like you have storage in the tongue. We have also taken trips, and it does take some advance planning to get everything in the roadster. We have found that there are a lot of things that get left at the house simply because there isn't room in the trunk.

NIce layout, Colonial, never enough space, how long before you will fill up the new addition? I would like to see the cobras, since we have a common addiciton. Justin, we did the same process last summer, and maybe this will help: Check out one of the photos (about 1/3 down) and you can...

I have the Hot Dawg 60,000btu in a 42 x 24. I keep it at 50, and raise it to 65 when I plan on working. Takes about 45 min to get warmed up. It is a little noisy when operating, but otherwise has been flawless.

I have a werner 2208, same as the one you are considering, but in a 8 foot length. The ladder treads do not have any anti-slip coating whatever, and when I reach the upper 4 feet of the ladder, where the ply is, I cannot get my foot to set comfortably into the tread. Maybe this is a common...

Modine Hot Dawg here in fort collins, Colorado. You could set the thermostat where ever you would like and it will bring the temp up in a hurry. I used the 60,000 BTU model in a 42 x 24. Derald.

The workbench is two craftsman drawer bases and a custom steel top that I had made locally. Haven't seen these bases available for quite some time, and I would have no idea about a number for them. I have had them for about 10 years.

What I did this summer.............. I found this forum last spring, and started to give this project some thought. After seeing some of the inspirational showrooms here, and finally getting tired of moving two project to work on another, we proceeded with it. Hopefully it can hold it’s own...

I am going to try this idea inside the trailer. It might help replace the wife as a guide when loading the car. Thanks, Derald.

I am not an electrician, so please don't ask me for the details, but my electrican wired a relay into the 240 compressor circuit that ties it to the overhead lights. When I turn off the lights, the compressor is disconnected. Lights on is the only way the compressor circuit is energized. This...

Re: 1925 Rolls Royce Piccadilly Roaster...

Pictures would not have shown the problem that I had. It felt like blasting sand was imbeded into the finish. It came off with clay bar. Have an arborist ( tree doc take a look ) . Your city probably has one on staff that could give an opinion without charge. Derald. Now that I see the...

Are you sure that isn't aphids ? I also thought that it was tree sap, but now one treatment a year controls the little buggars and all is well. As for the tree sap, products that I have had good luck with on automotive finishes are pine sol, mineral spirtis or an automotive product called...
