I bought one of these: zBoost ZB545 SOHO Dual Band Cell Phone Signal Booster for Home and Office, up to 2,500 sq. ft. Went from not being able to make a call to having 4 bars inside the shop.

I have my two Lincoln mig welders on one cart. They share the same gas bottle. I have the 110 unit set up for lighter guage welding and the 220 unit for thicker materials. I just wheel the cart to where I'm working and grab which ever one I need. I did this so I didn't have to buy another...

I just dealt with something similar. I just had a 40' x 60' pole barn built. I remove the grass and top soil with the bucket on the tractor and piled it up for use later. I had about a 18" low spot on the northwest corner of the building that gradually sloped down from the level grade. After...

Thanks for the welcome. I've been an avid reader for awhile and really enjoy this forum. As you requested here is a picture of my lift with a project vehicle that we worked on for my youngest son.
