Not a garage question, but I've got a stem wall going up on my new house. The tallest portion of the stem wall was initially built to about 6 or 7 feet, but that was a mistake, so more blocks had to be brought in to add another three courses (2 feet) of height. when the masons came today, I...

I've got a line on a Wilton vise in like-new condition. Swivel base. 17" long +/- has 4" wide replaceable serrated jaws that open up to over 7" with a clamping depth of 3-1/2". Never been mounted. What's a good price for this?

I'd enjoy watching that! Here is how mine are secured: :thumbup:

Not any more. Those gaps in the wood were sealed when the battens were nailed on top of the boards ("board and batten" walls)

Hardley tin siding! Corten steel box with lock secured behind lockbox (bolt cutters won't work). Plasma cutter or something that will make a helluva racket is the only way 99.9 percent of the bad guys (or very resourceful Zombies) are gonna get into this thing.

Thanks everyone..this helps immensely!

Yes sir..all the way around the whole structure. Under each container I sunk four steel plates with j-bars connected into the footers while the cement was still wet. Haven't welded them down yet, and not sure if I will. The things are not going anywhere!

I think most of my confusion deals with the "load current" or "current at the end of cable run." It sounds like I should total up the amps that I would use in a max situation, rather than just plug in the total amperage of the panel. In other words, if I were running it to a 100 or 200 amp sub...

First off, I have read a boatload of posts here in the forum on this subject, and I'm only more confused! I've also looked at about a half dozen online voltage drop calculators and that still has me scratching my head :lol_hitti The calculators ask me what voltage is (120 vs 240), but which do...

Wow..everyone should definitely remember that next time they consider approaching a lady of the night! It appears you can get busted for asking "are you a prostitute" instead of the more direct solicitation when asking "how much for a &%$#!" BE CAREFUL OUT THERE! :)

I've consulted my attorney and he concurs with your interpretation of the award rules. However, your application of those rules definitely ***** :) Definition of SOLICIT transitive verb 1a : to make petition to : entreat b : to approach with a request or plea <solicited Congress for funding>...

15 bucks got me two Armstrong 1/2 inch ratchets, a set of Proto Professional sockets (number 5400 F) including organizer (7/16 to 1 1/4 inch) and also (not pictured) 2 regular sized USA vise grips, and an old Stillson wrench that looks to be in great shape.
