I always hear good things about kroil but I’ve never seen it place in trials so I have never bought any. We use pb blaster but liquid wrench is just as good imo.

One of our family members went through this recently with her mom. House and several acres, 2 sheds full of stuff, 2 tractors and 3 vehicles plus some farm machinery, all willed to the 2 kids and they felt a heavy burden with all the junk. A few phone calls to estate auction companies and they...

People like you with attitudes like that leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I would put a mini split in and buy a $300 salamander heater. When you want to warm the place up run the salamander heater for 20 or 30 minutes and shut it off and be comfortable the rest of the time you’re working in your shop.

Can you cut a board the size of the opening and screw it to something substantial and then screw your drywall to it?

I have 1 tool box and my son has 2. I “use” to have a full set of drill bits in mine and was needing them today and couldn’t find them. I told him I’m getting my tool box back in order and locking it!! 😂

Learn a trade good enough to be a boss and learn Spanish. Most all trades around here are using undocumented immigrants.

Most of the old barns that had the hay lofts around here had big wide cottonwood and sycamore boards on the floors. They used oak on the outsides.

I would steer clear of Hyster they are the biggest POS out there. We run them because we have to but for 15 towmotors we have 1 full time rolling stock mechanic and have to come the equipment company mechanic in a couple times a month. We have on average 3 go down every week from leaks and they...

Our local propane provider will bring their sniffer out for free if you smell propane. You might check that, sometimes they are hard to find especially when you have appliances and furnaces involved.

I use the ones Menards sells that are rated for 10 years. I like to have multiples. I would think first alert would be good as gold.

I carry the cobra’s at work in my front pocket. I use them daily in a manufacturing environment, they took the place of channel lock model 420. I wouldn’t mind getting a belt sheath for them.

A 10X14 you could heat with a 110 infrared heater. Before buying a heater make sure how low the setting will go.
