I have a Vulcan Welding cart, and after assembly, the top drawer won't open. I don't know if it ever did. For those that have this cabinet, do you have any ideas? I've had it for a while, so I don't think returning it is an option. I have tried with the bolts for the bottle removed, just...

Awesome feedback, everyone! Thank you for your insight. From the sounds of it, it comes down to who you choose. My obstacle is that we are new to the area and I don't know many people (in or out of the trades) What questions should I be asking a GC to be sure i hire a great one, if I go...

What do you think? Hire a GC or go directly to the subs?

Great idea on talking with contractors for bids. I will do that. I don't want to skimp on the slab and end up with cracks, either. I will need to figure out if the county has time limits on permits and what they are. I don't want a permit issue because I took too long to go from a slab to...

We are in the process of moving to 10 acres in Coweta County, GA. We are outside of city limits of Newnan. My primary reason is to have a workshop and to offer our 2 year old a better life than our older kids had. There is already a 30x20 2 car for the lawn equipment, a 2 car attached garage...

I'd kick both boys out of the garage and bring another project in. Or let the boys negotiate who gets the space between themselves. Alternatively, +1 on Wingnut's rent idea, space goes to highest bidder.

Get it in writing. When it comes to women, choose one not because you want to go to bed with her, but because you want to wake up next to her. Get a real estate license and invest heavily in real estate in the 90s. Sell in 06-07. Retire and do something fun for "work". Invest in Google

I learned my first curse words while holding this tool.:shocking:

Re: Disk Sander My neighbor bought the $200 version pictured. He needs to push start it to get it spinning after the 2nd week of ownership. Probably just a bad cap in the motor, but, it might be indicative of the overall quality.

Might be it http://medford.patch.com/listings/king-petroleum And this https://foursquare.com/v/king-petroleum/4dd5df92d22d38ef42c33113 The process I used: Go to Google, type in King Petroleum, click Images, and browse until you find the ones that looked similar.

I used pex in every junction in my attic (~60' worth or so). The research I did tells me that if we keep it shielded from UV it should be fine. I used the crimp ring connectors. Everything I could find shows that it's rated above the 90 psi that I run my lines at. If I recall correctly, it's...

I worked with a do all for several years when we were racing. You definitely ****.

Off the top of my head... Vault an area of the ceiling and forgo the pit for a lift. Duplex electrical every 10' and a plug strip near the workbench A workbench with a vise 220 on at least 2 walls Have as much overhang as you can outside the garage door. Air lines in each corner, at a...
