Yes, I was gonna try to fill the gaps with either the Backer rod and foam over it fro the Great stuff Co. and theng;ue down the blue 2" styro foamover the top of that to attempt to seal ALL the air coming out of there right now. I bought the caulk that's especially designed for foam board to...

Yes, the Melamine is 4x8' sheetsfrom Menards and maybe 1/8" thick.....and fragile. I'm gonna finish the walls first and may tackle the roof joists this spring and summer. Any pointers on sealing off the top plates since my rafters will be open. I'll be insulating and paneling and sealing the...

Thanks for the response and sorry for the mega late reply. So what size and gauge of metal sheathing are you referring to? Galvanized? and what gauge? I was gonna do the 4x8 ' Melamine white panels, but they's heavy enough and flimsy enough and crack easily to make solo installation a real...

Lots of Insulation Posts this time of year, but none of the previous ones I've read really answered my questions, so please bear with me. I have a 24'/24' detached shop with steel siding and only one small window. Garage door is a 17'x7 and has the foam core construction. I'm currently...

Blackhawk made Free Wheelers for 3/8', 7/16" and 1/2" drives, but neither of these rats in the the photos have the tapered bullet end that was on the Torpedo box Nugget set. The sockets are a good score however, and best wishes for freeing up those Freewhwheelers!! DM&FS

I can investigate the mini splits, but I have NO use for air conditioning in the shop whatsoever. The rafters will be left open due to the space being used for storage. I get the fact that the heat is rising up there and have thought about rigging a small ceiling fan up there to move the hot...

Hi All: This will be a long post that I've edited down about as far as I can, so bear with me. I've been reading through many of the insulation/vapor barrier threads and learned a lot from them, but I still have some questions that here to fore, haven't dealt with my specific situation.. I...

I've resorted to grocery store telescoping apple and orange boxes that they give out for free once their empty. I set them up like a returns dept. in a big box store where all the returns are sorted by dept. I save one as a "Heinz 57" box for stuff that is really hard to label......lol. Once...

That $1200 baby bullet and powr arm is for that 1% we keep hearing about on the news. My 2" BB came from a guy in Georgia and although the slide bar was crusty, I was okay with the $305 price tage. It's a 2/46 with the pat pend in the casting. My powr arm came from a free for all picker's...

I'd trade the whole 3 piece set for one of the M-5 Herbrand 1/4" bullet end ratchets if it were in good to exc. condition.... DM&FS

I have two sets of the O ratchet in the plastic case and a set of their metric sockets in a cardboard box. HAve yet to use them,but vagueloy remember having about $10 ******* in them at an estate sale here in town some years ago. As to the original through bolt design"first in the nation"...

Thanks folks!!! I figured there was something unfixable in there. I bought it at a local pawn shop for 30%off the final markdown price of $8. Had it been a Malaysia model I'd have passed, but all 3 of the 1587s that have come my way have been made in the USA. Sold one of them with case for...

I have both a healthy and a less than healthy Bosch 1587AVS jigsaw and the less than healthy one runs, but the variable speed feature ceases to be found, regardless of whether the built in trigger dial is set at A,B,C,D, or E. It will run at D and E, but not the other slower settings. Even at...

Meltmuncher, what alpha/numeric code did your rat have on the left side of the plastic handle? Thanks DM&FS

I have acquired two sets of the 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2" drive Craftsman ratchets that were supposedly only manufactured in 1986 and 1987. O ne set has the number "7" stamped in the plastic handles and the other set has a "B" stamped on them. PArt numbers are the same on the respective drives. I'm...
