This is a bit lame, but I jack up the car and stick the ramps under the front wheels. As if the car had driven onto them. Then 4 jack stands on the frame or jacking points. Then I add 6 x 6 blocking until am pretty sure I won't get squished. I really need to get a lift!

I used a kit from these guys: http://www.caswellplating.com/ Worked out well! Eastwood has kits also: http://www.eastwood.com/paints/electroplating.html Not sure about shipping to Columbia, though... I tried to get Eastwood to ship pin striping supplies to Alaska & they wanted hazardous material...

I did not use a spray can because Rustoleum spray has been a problem -bubbles out, inconsistent spray. Went with small cans and a small roller. Have done several cabinets now and it is great! Once it gets tacky you have to leave it alone for a while & recoat after it dries some. And it takes 3...

Rustoleum hammered silver applied with a small roller. Cleaned up the old paint & rust with a wire wheel, wiped down, & applied 2 coats 30 min apart. Works well.

We had this & it was a drywall nail through the vent pipe. Very small crack. Smell would come & go. I ripped out the wall in frustration & found it.

Sheath the walls before you stand them up..

Lab cabinet & somewhat matching lab drawers 50 bucks each. I'm going to paint them someday but am working around my small 20 x 20 2 car fixing it up as much as I can but still use it to get some work done.. Need to finish the walls first.

Mailing Station. 25 bucks picked up a year ago today. Yippee!

I found this nice guide from the EPA & amazingly, it seems pretty accurate. http://www.epa.gov/owm/septic/pubs/homeowner_guide_long.pdf Grew up in a home with a septic tank from the 1930's, which had been covered over & forgotten before we moved in. It was not dealt with until it backed up...

I have a small 20x20 2 car so space is at a premium. This Ryobi gets used a few times a week w/ a rolling cart for an outfeed table. Mostly I cut outside. Not the fanciest setup but it works.

Drywall or trim screws. Easier to remove.

Nice home for the Z11!

jet hot or a similar company? Maybe these guys can help. I've used them for headers & exhaust pipes. Lots of colors options, etc. http://www.jet-hot.com/
