Does it not bother a few of you that you might be in possession of stolen goods?

With age wisdom is supposed to come, but not for all of us. I ask myself often do you really need 12 Snap on ratchets. I think I am going to find some young guys who want to be gearheads and give them stuff that is nice, not the junk tools. Family is not interested. Just my opinion on this subject.

Thanks for all the good ideas. Gives me lots of options. But, being old, I will probably think on it for a while.

As I have aged it is hard for me to push vehicles into my garage, the floor is 2' taller than the driveway. I have a portable winch but nothing to attach it too. What can I use that would be flush with the floor, (so I don't stumble over it when not in use). I also would like to use it to pull...

I have seen this many times in my career in the floor business. I have read the other posts. Here is my recommendation, if you leave it alone, over time they will be fine. It may take a little longer since you are going into the high humidity season.

Thanks sberry, it made no sense to me to have a drain partway up the tank.

I have a 60 gal stand up air compressor that has a drain on the side about 5" up from the bottom. I open the valve and drain it regularly. My question is what about the area from the drain opening down? Is it designed to push all the water out of the opening or is there water below the valve?

I just spilled automotive paint in my garage. Think about an accident on your new floor. I am a flooring installer, and thought many times of putting a nice floor down. Glad I never got around to it. My opinion only.

I have my first set I bought, Craftsman 1/2 12 point, 1965. I got an electric pencil and carved EU in everyone. Still have the electric pencil also. But I cannot find my phone half the time.

I am in the flooring business. Yes the boards will go down but large boards like yours never will be flat again. They will need to be replaced. The correct way is replace the warped boards and have the entire unit sanded and refinished. If you try and match and it does not make you happy you...

Just put my garage dog to sleep last Monday, having a really hard time getting over her loss.

Thanks guys, I am not afraid to take cars or guns apart but every electric thing I dismantled never got together again. I guess Ill try again.

I was under my ol truck and dropped my Snap on 3/8's battery powered impact in the oil pan which was full of oil I just drained. The oil was only run for a few miles so it is relatively clean. I did not take it apart, just cleaned it the best I could and sprayed it with electronic cleaner. It...

I unplug my 110 lift all the time and leave it unplugged.

Firebrick43, I would bet a rotted window was probably due to an installation issue. I built 18 years ago spent extra money on insulation and Anderson doors and windows, it is a very quiet efficient house. All of the windows are fine.
