I got 2 at the parking lot sale that were in the 'scratch and dent' pile but hardly noticeable damage. They were asking $125 each and I got the pair for $225.

No coupon but a heads-up. I took a picture of an Inside Track coupon code and used it at the store. Sales clerk took the number off my camera screen and didn't ask if I was a member. Thank you very much! Also, my local Kmart had Craftsman 10 pc, 1/2" drive, deep well impact socket sets on the...

Retired wood butcher here........ Drywall mud works fine on plywood. At least the stuff I installed in my house 20 years ago is still working. You can use drywall tape on the seams and finish it like sheetrock (textured, smooth or whatever turns your nut)

I collect old gas station pumps and have some outside in plain view. Middle of the night, I hear a bang, and go to see a pickup w/trailer leaving my driveway with a visible gas pump. I jump in my Blazer and the chase is on, out through the back roads that I know very well. I follow them close...

Anybody an "Inside Track Club" member? Membership is $20 a year right now. Is it worth it?

Went in last night and bought this with a picture of the ad on my camera. I handed the cashier my camera and she punched in the bar code number. It's only good for 5 more days.

The sidewalk sale was last weekend. They sold a lot of stuff. I was in my local HF tonight and noticed they'd restocked some items.

I built a house for a customer a few yeas ago. Steep hillside. 14' crawlspace below the garage. We used glue-lam beams 6' o.c. and the flooring was solid 2X6 standing on edge. After completion, the owner had a hardwood floor company finish the rough floor. It looked very nice.

yellow pages I'd make the drawing of a single truss, then take it in to the engineer
