UPS just delivered my 16 casters in two boxes. The UPD delivery guy carried both boxes (96 lbs.) up our step drive while greeting my wife without even breathing hard. I am very impressed with that guys strength. Just lifting and moving one box on the flat part of the driveway was difficult for...

The only open Sears stores in the Detroit area are at the 12 Oaks and Westland malls and the 7 mile and Midelbelt store.

As usual the GJ Brain Trust has given you all of the possible ways of stripping wallpaper as well as a recommendation to just to leave it on and cover it up. If the wall under the paper was painted or sized before the paper was installed the paper will come off with water, stripper or fabric...

The corrugated metal looks very nice on the walls but you have one more task to complete before the job is finished. Being a long time GJ member you know how critical properly ordinated cover plates and clocked mounting screws are to everyone on GJ. You need to immediately go out the garage and...

Thank you for information. I know that you get to be a better welding by practice but I also think instruction is the best way to start.

Where are you taking the welding classes at? Schoolcraft ? I live in the Detroit area also and would like to learn to weld in the near future.

As Bob15 stated in his reply the punches screw together and make perfect washer shapes in any gasket material. The Mayhew set is expensive but you get your money's worth. These punches are sharp right out out the box and have worked very well for me.

I was just about to add the Silent Paint Remover link to this thread also. I have used this system to remove all the exterior paint from a 2100 square foot house. It took me and my two brothers about a month to do it but this gets you down to the bare surface safely. The infrared heat is below...

McFeely's is good source. They carry almost every type of design and material. Their website and catalog have good information on the type, finish and material properties. All of my large orders come from them. Boltdepot also carries screws but no square drive so their selection is more limited.

All of the above suggestions will work. However, Wet and Forget will prevent the mold from returning for returning for about two years. It will take a few weeks for the mold to disappear but no scrubbing is required. This very helpfully on the higher parts of the siding. Wet and Forget is more...

As usual the GJ members have provided you with very good answers to your questions. If you can not find a pre cut kit that meets your needs there are many designs available on-line or in shed design books. These designs provide very detail information on the materials and required cuts. If you...

The Core Tech flooring looks very nice. Can this type of floating flooring be installed on stair threads? I guess you would use metal cap on the front edge of the step and 1/4 round at the back and sides. I am not sure if you would want to use flooring or construction adhesive also. Has anyone...

I have been using a 8 inch Freud dado blade set on my Delta Unisaw for years with very good results. The 8 inch blade has enough height to cut any dados that I need. If the cut needs to be deeper there are several other ways of making the dado that work just as well and will be safer to cut than...

If you have a large air compressor an air powered floor scrapper is the fastest option. These can be rented or purchased if you have a compressor large enough to run it. You can also buy scrapper blades that fit in a hand held air gun. Google air powered floor scraper to see what is available...
