Disabled. in 2005 I contracted a 1 in 6.6 billion disease and was given months to live. Guess what? Yep, still here. have a ****** quality of life but as far as I know still better than the alternative. It did free me up to do grandpa daycare. on my 4th now. turning him into a tool junky. Roy

Jordon another thing to look at is to check with your insurance carrier about your pool. A balcony that close to a pool is called an attractive nuisance and can be very expensive to insure. My step father installed very high end, in ground pools and I can remember three times where he had to...

nice trucks. if you look at my sig line you will see we share a disease. remember it's not the size or looks of the garage but what gets done in it or despite the lack of it.:bowdown:

I have no idea if it is still true but 10 years ago when i bought my speedglass it and optrell were the only two auto shields that were optometrist approved. I got the speedglass because it had a replaceable battery and was slightly cheaper. I used it for 5 years daily and use it weekly now and...

I'm hard on concrete. I can't imagine how a tile floor would fare. I have also noticed that all the people who say "be a man do what you want" have bad or no relationships. A good partnership involves compromise.

moving the table up and down is hard to do and lacks the feel of a quill. it can be done and was done for years it just takes some getting used to. I use my table lift instead of the quill a lot because the first mill I owned is very similar to the one here. for precision work they recommend...

use galvanized or stainless staples. but be warned once up you will destroy the OSB getting it off. it is very strong and resists pull out better than nails or screws.

If you are going to get a backhoe for your tractor I would recommend paying the extra and get the tlb110. thats what i graduated to after three of the light duty JD tractors(their words not mine). it is so much better a machine that you can't compair them. Try one and look at how much better it...

I use turbo cad14 pro. I haven't updated it because i have the CAM plug in for it and don't want to pay for both again. As others have stated the learning curve is steep and if you don't do it regularly you will never get or stay good at it.

very nice work. I use the wedged tennons a lot also. I will have to try the contrasting wood some time. I usually go for simple.

When I was a kid my dad got tired of people hitting and batting our mailbox. being iron workers we had access to a lot of **** so we got a 15 foot piece of 14" I beam with over 1 inch web and flange. we drove it into the ground with a pile driver. we cut a hole thru the web so the box would be...

here are a few poor pics of mine. I installed a jesem lift in the area where the fence extension ran. i love the ridgid fence and having the router there. this is a few pics of the moulding I was making for a gas fireplace I installed in a friends house.

sorry it took so long to read your answer. I added and another $100 to my donation to cover the two long ones. Thanks. Roy

putting the foam on the outside is not a good idea. it will seriously take away from the rigidity that the metal is supposed to add to the building.

I havn't set up my reloading area in this house due to a lack of space. When the new place is built i will get back into it. I still have a lot of ammo so don't need to reload now. In the past I have had many different setups but finally settled on a room about 12X18 with benches down both long...
