Yeah, we did also, but whenever the order to clean up the building came from upstairs , the old chairs all got thrown away :mad: This one is obviously mine, and they won't touch it.

I'm an aircraft mechanic, and I spend plenty of time working under the aircraft, reaching overhead. Creeper seats are needed, but most tend to be tippy if you hit a crack or junk on the floor. I was looking at an old office chair, waiting to go in the dumpster, and also had a broken seat...

I have a couple around the yard, I got them at HF. One is still going strong two years later, I have it on a tree over the wood pile, my son likes it since he always waits until after dark to bring the firewood in. The only issue being that the battery dies after a while if you are working...

I had an outdoor pellet boiler for heat when I lived in Maine. Unlike a wood boiler, I could go a week between reloads, because it held 11 bags of pellets at once. But that wouldn't be a good answer, because you have a good supply of wood

A wood boiler with a heated floor would be slow to recover when you wanted the heat. That whole set up is much better at constant temps, not big swings. For on and off heating, a stove with ceiling fans to move the air quickly is the answer. Does the floor have insulation under it? If not...

I used one of the birdcage ones as the backup heat for my house. I'd put it in the basement when the power went out, and leave the cellar door open. The heat rose and kept the first floor warm, it also kept the second story bedrooms warm. This got us through the first 6 years we owned our...

According to the sales rep, O2 molecules will go easier than nitrogen, enough that it can make an explosive mixture

My employer buys us Irish Setter boots by red wing. I always spring for the toe pour to save the leather toe after the first year of use. The store always oils the leather and adds new laces when they do the toe cap. I continue to use the older pairs of boots around the house for years. I wear...

I installed some pex on the drain of the compressor at work, 3/4 reduced to 1/2, then down to 3/8 ball valve. It is the regular old pex secured with crimp rings. I did this about 5 years ago and it is still going strong. I didn't waste my money on an expensive crimp tool, instead I use the...

Lowe's doesn't handle the warranty end of cobalt tools very well, I hope they don't handle Craftsman , I've been told I couldn't warranty the exact same ratchet because the current one has a different handle, and that changes the sku, so no warranty. I stopped buying cobalt then

If you are interested in the Milwaukee 12V set, home depot has a driver/ drill set for about $100 in the front of most stores where they sell the deals for Christmas shopping, you won't get the same deal the rest of the year

I picked up a CS490 returned saw at home depot. It was so new you couldn't tell it had been used, probably the best $270 I've spent recently. I also run a cs590 I picked up last year brand new for $300. Both saws are powerful and fast. I like the 490 for limbing and the 590 for felling. I have...
