Nice mods! I picked up a couple of the orange ones for $199 each. Looking like they took some queues from here to make improvements over the earlier versions. I’ve got some magnetic bars to add to the lid, and looking at doing a side shelf to start with. One cart will be for organizing my cnc...

I use a tp link device as a client ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004PFQX7K/?tag=atomicindus08-20) that plugs into a wifi router in my shop. It's about 200' between the house and shop. By using the tp link in client mode I still get wpa2 encryption between it an the primary wifi router at...

Tonight I got home and shot some rattle can black on the brackets, and started running wire while they dried. I need to order a couple of connectors for my auxiliary fuse box, so just ran to the battery for now. The front shots and first lighting... BTW...I raked some leaves out of the...

Great looking table and use of the Reese hitch...filing this away for my next table build.

I recently picked up a new zero turn and was too cheap to pay the $75 + installation for lights on it. So I picked up a small set of driving lights from the local auto parts store for $20. The lights will mount in the small openings in front of the platform behind the front suspension. I...

Wow, Thanks for all the replys! Looking like I should consider the HF Earthquakes. :lol: Will look at their ratchets too. Seem anymore my fingers tighten/cramp up after a little bit of twisting nuts on/off. Probably need to go see someone about carpal tunnel, but typically doesn't bother me...

Hey all, I was wondering if I could get some input on what to look for in impact wrenches and ratchets. I recently got a new (to me) compressor, that does about 11 cfm @90 and figured it was time to get some things to make life easier. I've used a few in the past, but never had to go buy any...

That is just too cool! Well done!

Well, I guess it's been a while since I update this. Haven't gotten as far as I would have liked to, but have made some progress. I haven't got the ceilings in yet, but I've upgraded the electrical to a new panel and mostly new wiring, straightening out the old where needed. Nothing like...

It will be a "Betty's got a bass boat" scenario for my wife. She can use them to get another handy man. Seriously, she knows to let my son and nephews have their picks. Many tools were my dads, so each deserve some, rest can be sold or donated... if any are left. She won't need them when she...

I've been spending the past few weeks demoing my walls back down to the studs. I've got a 32' x 60' with 12" ceilings (well, no ceiling yet). The previous owner studded in up to 8', insulated and drywalled. The building was full of air leaks, so I've used about 10 cans of great stuff to seal it...

I have a 32" lcd tv that doubles as my computer monitor (or visa versa). Never had problems with the cold. Has gotten into the 20's in there. Darren

These are pics before we bought our place this past fall. We'll be putting pavers around the pool where the gravel is now and building an outdoor kitchen and arbor where the deck is now. We've got some updates to do, but the previous owners did a good job with the landscaping other than...

I've got a 32 X 60 pole type building that is un-insulated. I'm looking to put a metal ceiling in using the same material as the side and roof and blow in insulation on top of this. The trusses are 5' apart. Do I need to install 1 x 4 strips every 2' under the trusses for support to connect the...

Cool, Thanks!
