    Menard's Deals Permathread!

    A local store had a display model of this cutter sans the box on the clearance shelf, and it WOULD have fit in the bag. I did some quick research on my phone though and found that it's only a 13 amp cutter, and will at max, only cut 1/8" steel, so I passed. It's normally about $579 though...

    Gladiator 30" GearBox Garage Cabinet (Premier Series) $99.99 at Sears

    Glad it worked out for you. Sears is so incredibly mismanaged it's unbelievable. I've had similar experiences with them.

    Roadside/Streetside finds

    I found a tiny spade laying in the middle of the road once. Not sure what a full grown man would use it for, but it suits my 5 year old son just fine.

    What to seal cracks in deck posts?

    It's not so much the appearance of the cracks as it is me trying to increase the longevity of these deck posts since I'll be selling the house in a few years. I had considered using some of the "caulking" that's a part of various deck restore coatings made for larger cracks, but I'm not sure...

    Racedeck Questions

    Again, no dog in this fight as I removed the flooring from the garage.

    Racedeck Questions

    Racedeck Questions

    In what way would it be installed to prevent the buckling? I didn't install the flooring..it was in the garage when I bought the house. I have no dog in this fight as I didn't pay for the flooring. It's a floating floor...the buckling occurred at the open end of the garage by the door in...
