Is that garage on the south side of I-70, set back about 50 yards from the frontage road, just about 1/2 mile west of the north/south road that goes over I-70? Regards, GEWB (Denver, CO)

I went through that early this summer. My concrete floor lifted 1/2" up dead center to the 16' door (bentonite - hate that stuff). I purchased a DeWalt 4.5" grinder and a diamond cup grinder, a silica dust mask, a plastic drop cloth, duct tape, 2' level, work gloves, knee pads and went to work...

(This project and pics were from last spring - I've since made a few improvements to the garage area but the cabinets remain the same.) After 22 years in our place the cave was trashed - it was time for some spring cleaning! Four weekends later (and about $700 poorer) it has shaped up - not...

Got more info like model, better description or approximately how old? I have one from five or ten years back and can look into the manual if it is same/similar model. Regards, GEWB

Thanks! That makes "cheap" sense (lots of little things on the cheap in this house). Regards, GEWB

My 1985 GE main box has several pairs of 15 amp and 20 amp circuit breakers mechanicly strapped together across the handles - why would this be? For example, the microwave ciruit (20A) is strapped to the kitchen outlet breaker (20A). I understand strapping 220v breakers but separate 110v...

I solved that by using a wet-dry vac to **** the muck up - I should have started that years ago BEFORE the salt started to pit the floor! Regards, GEWB

Hello rwdozier - Found the problem...you likely uploaded from a directory on your hard drive so the path of each link is screwy. (The forum software automatically adds hyperlinks so in the following I substituted >> for h t t p : / / w w w .) For example, the first image link is looking to...

"A man was injured in a two-alarm fire that engulfed a garage on the city's south side Thursday night. The man, whose age and identity were not available, was taken to an area hospital with burns to his hands and face and his hair was singed..." Darn - that means he is still in the gene pool...

Last Saturday the local Ace Hardware had a 20% off sale day - would have made the threshold $56!!!!!! -GEWB

No computer operating system is completely immune but Windows (all versions) is the easiest to attack - too many weaknesses in the system yields many attack vectors, even with anti-virus programs running and up to date. Mac and Linux operating systems are designed to have fewer weak points than...

I often see tankers with a single chain - used as a ground to bleed static electricity (so I've been told!). Regards, GEWB

Correct, and a lot of other building supply places. The "simple" shaped one I got at Lowes years ago - didn't see it on their Website but I found many items in the B&M stores that weren't online. A little construction adhesive works great to hold the extruded molding up as the molding is not as...

Extruded crown molding. I used 10' pieces on another project, very easy to use and inexpensive. Cuts like wood, nail or glue in place, paintable. Regards, GEWB

Given your sig line "Life is too short to drink stale coffee, bad wine, or use cheap tools." why would you keep that cord? :shocking: Sounds out of character. :bounce: Regards, GEWB
