Thanks for the reply 22george, I appreciate it. Did you use something like these roofing panels? https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Gibraltar-Building-Products-8-ft-Corrugated-Galvanized-Steel-31-Gauge-Roof-Panel-13513/202092961 I'm going to do some markups... This definitely might be one way to go...

Hi folks, just trying to get some input here. I have some old garage doors that need to come down. They're 50+ year old, barn-style doors. I asked a contractor how much it'd cost to rebuild them and he said, $5K... I know we all have to pay for quality sometimes, but c'mon... (And I know he...

Just ordered some leather sewing stuff!!! Time for a new hobby, baby!!! :sneaky: Order #6703

Sheesh... I just broke my 18mm offset wrench the other day swapping out some struts... :geek: If I keep perusing this thread there might not be any money left over for Christmas gifts!!!

Thanks for the inspection camera link, just picked one up!!! Was mulling the Milwaukee M12 one or the Harbor Freight one. This is so much better!!!

I'm thinking this might be the route to go. There was a big hole by the cable wires coming to the house from the street. I had that covered up with metal flashing. Did all of the eaves of the house and even paid for the neighbors house... (I know...) The sound is coming in from one corner of...

Ordering a bunch of traps right now. Thank you all for the suggestions. It's a tough thing to do, but someone has to do it... I'll post pictures! wssix99, I can't take anymore feral cats in my neighborhood. The real problem is everyone dumping food on every corner for those feral cats. I...

Thanks for the advice everyone! I'll set some traps up there. ("Licensed" NYC exterminator only put two traps for that $350...) And I'll get some of this X-Cluder steel and get on this. I feel like there's probably a big hole right where the rafter meets the edge of the house, adjacent to the...

Woah... long range foam guns??? AWF Pro Foam Gun, 40 inch (100 cm) Barrel, Swivel Tip, Teflon Coated, One Hand Adjustment

Hey all, long time I haven't posted. Was wondering if anyone here's got any suggestions. Rat's are coming into my attic from an adjacent, unkempt next door neighbor. I recently had someone cut an access panel to the attic. Not sure why the original builders of this house hadn't thought to do...

I never would have given 1/4" drive tools a chance had I not come on here. And, of course, would not have built out such a nice SK, Williams, Toptul, CM collection without GJ. So my question, what other 1/4" ratchet do you all think I "need"?? Is there a super long 1/4" ratchet out there? :bounce:

I'm about 20% into a timing chain job on a 12v, VR6 Eurovan right now. It is a hell unlike any other... Anyhow, I'm surprised at just how much I've been able to do with only 1/4" drive tools. Especially my SK 1/4" flex head ratchet (best GJSS gift ever!!); SK 1/4" regular short ratchet; and...

Don't mean to dredge up an old post, but any updates on a set of decent valve seal pliers out there? Folks seem to be buying this "8milelake Valve Seal Remover" on Amazon... Anyone on here use it?

Wow, being the Toptul fanboy I was for a bit, I can't believe I missed this thread. (Guess that's what happens when you bow out and start working super full-time!) Sorry to hear about the troubles you had with Toptul, Denny. I loved having a tool guy and looked forward to getting emails with...

This GJSS gift from loranger--with HJE custom TX -> NYC imagery--was really touching. Without a doubt, the most touching gift I received this year. This is the only ratchet I could possibly want! :rocker: Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart. (I have a radiator I need to replace soon...
