Wonder if you would want to build stone up to about 4’ plus around the doors and windows, then a wood structure on top. It’s a shame that building is coming down.

You guys and gals were so helpful with suggestions for my last box cleanup and a couple vise restorations that I just had to come back with another! Have a 1978 lower box, KA model. The handle is two pieces of metal that fit together and two rectangular rubber end caps. The handle is beat up...

Sold mine for $1,000in NC, had more tooling included than I see in your pic, but didn’t have the legs. Practical machinist website is a good resource.

Thanks, I’m in, now off to their website for some shopping.

First, determine what you have. Does a magnet stick to it?

I’m interested, am unhappy with my existing Allen wrenches and who couldn’t use another bottle opener?

Safety wire = functional art Castle nut = functional Loctite = generally gets it done.

The only way this makes sense is if the power company has an inchoate lien based on unbilled service. This would follow the home regardless of ownership. If such a lien exists is a matter of state law. It may or may not be covered by a title insurance policy, but I’d expect such liens to be...

I’ve been running a dri-eaz LGR in my garage for the past 4 or 5 years, highly recommend. Of course it doesn’t get as cold here so ymmv.

I believe that code limits the number of outlets and fixtures that you can have on a single circuit, regardless of draw. You might want to check that, but otherwise it’s an easy project.
