Thanks guys! This is exactly the advice I was looking for! Hopefully I can check it out with my meter this weekend. I'll follow up with some pics of the final repair once I decide which route to go. I knew the folks on this forum would come through! Here is a shot of the outside. Notice, no...

Happy wife happy life? Also, after replacing the compressor on my 'new' fridge after 3 years, and listening to the noise it's starting to make again, I'm thinking this thing will have to use a whole lot of power to be less cost efficient! Thanks Kenmore.

Sorry about the dual post! Probably should've put this here to begin with! Hey guys, We are doing a complete 50's kitchen renovation and one of the key pieces is a '53'Westinghouse fridge we were lucky enough to buy from the original owner! It's in amazing original condition. It has been in...

Right down the road from you ; ) I recognize that bad red machine. What your garage really needs is a cool Blue Dune Buggy.

I'll get some pics up ASAP. Thanks guys!

We actually lost her this year. Had to put her down just a few weeks ago. She was 14 and a half years old. We were lucky to have had so much time with her. I have 2 more Labs, 8 and 10 years old. She was my 'one' for sure. 14 and a half is a good long run for a big dog, and we did a lot...

I have a question regarding 4/3 aluminum wire. My barn, has a 60 amp panel, that is currently being fed by a 12/3 direct bury wire (I know, and the guy I bought the house from was an electrician!) My question is, what kind of load can a 4/3 aluminum wire carry? It's about a 100' run from the...

This picture is from a few years ago. She is a retired service dog. We raised her from 8 weeks old to one year. She trained for another year, then was a full wheelchair service dog for 7 years. We were lucky enough to adopt her back when she retired.

This one just like mine popped up on C/L today hopefully it ends up sith someone here. http://smd.craigslist.org/tls/4908475804.html

Hearing the responses yesterday got me motivated! I went digging around upstairs and found my Grandfathers vise as well. I've been meaning to mount a vise up the this workbench for a while now, so this was a great excuse! It's also unrestored and 100% original. I just wiped it down with a little...

Thanks! It's a 1/2hp, and it has 63 as a stand alone number on the bottom. Does that mean it's a 1963? Not skimping on the tools sorta runs in the family ; ) My father had a service station for 20 years that opened in 1969. There are a bunch of vintage tools out in the shop. I've been a lurker...

Up until a few days ago, I had no idea block grinders were a thing! This one was my Grandfathers and has been in my family longer than I've been alive! I still remember using this in the basement at my fathers house when I was just a little kid working on my bike. It's 100% original and...
