Thank you sir, I'll do a little digging into it.

Good afternoon all, I'm heating my shop with a Roberts Gordon Vantage II radiant tube heater. Currently using a Honeywell "The Round" thermostat with it. Keep it set around 55 degrees and bump it up when I'm up there working. I finally ran fiber to my shop and now have reliable...

Picked up a Schumacher SC1400 wheeled battery charger at my local TSC yesterday. The website showed it at $199 but then indicated that my store had it at a lower price - $99 and it was in stock. Stopped at TSC and grabbed one, price tag said $219. Rang up at $99 and even the sales associate...

Little bit of a different repair out in the shop today. Microwave started arching pretty bad Friday evening. Took of the wave guide cover and it had a small burnt spot. Cleaned everything up and flipped it over. Sparking stopped but microwave was making some strange sounds every few seconds...

I picked up an orange 26” last spring when they first hit my area. Had a $249 coupon. Would like to pick up another, either in yellow, orange or green. I see this coupon expires Friday. Does anyone on here have experience with HF applying this coupon to the 3 newer colors? The coupon has...

Chipmunks are a pain to me and my shop. Little guys are so quick. They like to retreat up the downspouts. I can usually flush them out and have an air rifle waiting on the other end for them. I have a feral tom cat that patrols the property. He's very good at catching and toying with them...

Nmk and bretny- thanks for for the suggestions. When I had the TV sitting on a desk near the window (before I wall mounted it), I’d get around 8 channels. Maybe I should explore a simpler option on an antenna like the one you mentioned. 58Yeoman - awesome idea. Having that tower hinge like...

Thanks guys, alot of good advice here. Added my location to my profile. I'm in a good spot to get several TV channels. My current antenna is a piece of coax stripped back and hanging near a window. Picks up 4 channels.

I have two pallet rack workbenches in my shop. Bought a load of uprights and beams 2-3 years ago. Uprights were 16’ so I cut them down to 12’. Took the remaining 4’ piece and took it down to around 32-36”. 42” wide so I narrowed them to 30” I believe. Two 9’ beams on the top and a 9’ beam...

Good evening GJ, Latest CL haul, got three sections of 10’ antenna tower in pretty good shape. Actually came out of a local trailer park that is being demolished. Looks like the previous owner may have had several radios. Sections were already down and disassembled when I got there...

Thanks cajunrebel. I knew it couldn't be from anything I had done. The whole box is out of square now. Drawers opened and closed fine, but the top lid was jacked up. Returned it with no issue and ordered another. Will be checking this one out at the store.

About 5-6 years ago, I picked up a red Gen 1 56" lower. The box and mystery wood pallet looked like it was thrown from the row boat ashore and then molested repeatedly by a fork lift. Opened it up and it was perfect. Couldn't believe it. Then I get the yellow upper mentioned above in a...

Thanks rijndael. Very interesting about the credit. I'm 45 mins away but lucky enough to have this store on my commute. If it was a dent or scratch, I probably wouldn't fool with loading it back up. The more I looked at this box last night, it needs to go on a frame machine!

Will probably be at the parking lot sale this weekend!!!

Hey guys, Picked up my yellow 44" top yesterday. Had to order it, no one even close stocked it. Guy explained they sell a few 5 drawer carts in yellow but not much in anything bigger. Took just shy of 3 weeks to arrive so I was pleased with that. Picked it up yesterday. Employee...
