Here is my woodshed, 110 feet from the house and garage. Seventeen winters with no major issues. I burn about ten cords to heat 2000' house, 870' garage and 260' woodwork shop. What could be better would be more roof overhang to stove as it dumps snow right by the stove door. This setup...

Recently I hit on a system that had alluded me for 50 years. I use an open top catch pan BUT, I change the FILTER FIRST. The catch pan is empty and if the filter slips it doesn't splash oil from the pan. I deal with the used filter immediately, and only then do I drain the rest of the oil...

My avatar shows me using my 98 Stihl with a 56" bar. I bought the thing at a yard sale to hang on the wall of my garage but actually get to use it about once a year. Yes, it take two people to use it. Once it is placed on a log the second person isn't needed till the cut is finished. Twarren......

Pictures?? Twarren...........

Thanks Flat350, I hadn't got as far as having any ideas of price to do this. Interesting to note that there was actually a guarantee against future sagging. I don't know if such a business exists in my area or not. I will have to do some research. Twarren..........

I'm wondering if anyone here has had personal experience with this concept to lift sections of sidewalk. Availability of product, cost and life expectancy would be my main concerns. Twarren...........

Thanks guys. I have a better idea now. Twarren...........

Humph! A question on Garage Journal and three days later, only 'one' opinion. Almost unbelievable. twarren..........

I find TSC has Fluid Film in spray cans on for $11.00 a couple of times per year here in Ontario. Twarren..........

Hi Ive. I haven't read all six pages of this thread but nonetheless I will relate what has worked for me. I have an 18 x 24 woodshed that raccoons took a liking to a few years back. My solution; I installed a motion light with one bulb and a plug adapter in the other socket. I have a cheap clock...

Hmmm. Obviously not aimed at Canadians. No Robertson bits! :headscrat Warren...........

Hmm, I thought this thread was dead but not so. Here is an update. Following the advice of a local engine builder I sand blasted and then applied a couple thin coats of JB Weld. This filled all of the cavities and left a somewhat smooth surface. Then some careful grinding with a dremel and the...

Glyptol! I have never heard of this before but from what I have read this morning I believe this is exactly what I want. I have even found it locally in Canada at the same price as the US. I am constantly amazed at what I can learn here at Garage Journal. Thank you 1926speedster. Twarren.........
