I've been using these for a few years. They are more durable than others I've tried. I can often use them for many days before tearing one. I like orange so that I know what I can touch without smearing grease on something else accidentally. Textured for grip. A little SG on a paper towel...

That’s double trouble. Sounds like misery. Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery!

That's gonna be a miserable task. Are you sure you don't want to tear it all out and start fresh?

Finished up the replacement of most of the hydraulic components of the power steering system on the antique - pump, hoses, control valve. I had replaced the cylinder a few years ago, and it was fine, so it stayed on the car. Took it for an enjoyable shakedown run with the top down on a nice...

It's routine for us to offer food and drinks. Coffee, tea or sodas when they arrive, more during the day, food as well. Ice cold beer, or other beverages when the day's work is done. I always give a generous cash bonus also after good work has been completed. It's never the reason, but as...

I am well aware of galvanic corrosion, but it didn't prevent me from making a blunder that I knew better than to make. Inexplicably, it just didn't occur to me while threading a pair of iron pipe ******* into brass elbows in the wall below a bathroom sink while rebuilding after a complete...

Yeah, I need a serious intervention about that dysfunction...

Most of us won’t be done until we are….. done.

I can't seem to recall having ever made it very far. My FSD is tenacious.

Another thing I should have bought sooner.

Those are tools that few people would use daily, but could be very useful occasionally. I might have to buy a couple of them.

Yeah, we know a little bit about heat and humidity hereabouts. Jeans in the sun on a hot and humid day? Not a chance I'd be wearing those. Thin and light colored pants and shirt - think fishing clothing. Artificial sweat for the win. Spray bottle or squeeze bottle full of cool water...

Very clever solution for the keepers on those sawhorses. I've had a set of those same horses for a lot of years. Might need to clone your storage solution. I also like your raised deck for the yard vac.

Yeah! It was you! Thanks for the tip about this one. It's sweet. Already put it to use working on the antique.
