Not to mention the price difference between now and 15 years ago. As my cousin used to say when he would come across such deals..." it's a bargain if I never use it"... Thanks Jack Stand. You're set.

Thanks Bucko - I thought as much, but given the number of people on this site I thought I might get lucky. They are nice cabinets and you're right, they would probably be very expensive. I would just like the opportunity to consider purchasing one if I could find something..

This has probably come up before - but, has anyone sought to acquire any of the Hillman small hardware parts cabinets that are used by Lowes (maybe HD also?) to store small hardware items? I noticed one in my local Lowes facility over the weekend. They have a single cabinet approximately 5ft...

Maybe this did it...

Hey thanks for the help....unfortunately, when I click on the manage attachments, the window does not open...

sorry...haven't been able to figure out to post a pic.....

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has seen these Craftsman Cabinets. I saw them in Lowes and they contained various items, such as; wrenches, circular drill bit, regular drill bits, etc, etc. The cabinets are not for sale and are only used to house the individual items that are for sale. They...

Well, Buckeye_Guy, I"ll have to defer to someone on the site who is more experienced than I am for this question. I'm not sure if bthe vapor barrier was placed between your joists actual roofing material or whether you will run into a similar problem if you put up a ceiling underneath with...

Hi Buckeye_Guy, adding my 2 cents here. I have a 30 x 50 pole barn and put up a metal ceiling using a lot of advice from many on this site. It was good advice. My trusses were 4’ apart and I had the manufacturer cut the lengths at 16’ 6”. I was able to run all the lengths and just overlap...

How do you avoid the "noise"? I was planning on installing 12 of the $40 8ft t8 (quad) fixtures that Lowes carries. It seems easier to simply drive to the store and pick them up. I'm purchasing them in DE so I save on sales tax. My shop is 30x50 with 10ft ceilings and is just for "hobby"...

Thanks everyone for the ideas. Really makes me appreciate how much thought and planning can go into what might seem like a simple task. Decided to purchase a Bostich electric stapler. I ran the plastic roll over my last truss and fed it all the way back to my son-in-law at the far end of the...

Well...now I have some options to consider...

Thanks - these are certainly less costly and I'm not sure my air compressor would do the job with the pneumatics. But, it doesn't look like these use the "caps" so I would have to figure a way to hold the plastic up so it didn't try to fall and rip through the staples...

Hi Pitalplace - Many on this site recommended a vapor barrier be placed between a metal ceiling and ceiling insulation. I believe they "collectively" know more than I do on this so I've decided to take their "expert" advice. Joe - thanks for sharing. I'll look for the stingers but, I do have...
