As has been said before, everything has to have it's place. I tend to build a little clutter on a work-bench then put it all away at once, then repeat over and over. I typically do the clean-up at the end of every work-day, so I'm tired and the fact that everything has a very specific place...

He meant notice the word "attempt".

I was considering a wood stove too, but the insurance risk is too high for my liking. Instead I'll be borrowing a propane heater from a friend of mine. You might want to look into the same. They're cheap to run, cheap to buy (and can probably buy used) and actually work really well! Just be...

I'm going to be doing external conduit. I like the look, I'm low on cash, so it allows me to add more outlets as I get the money, and I LOVE the flexibility of being able to add, relocate, and upgrade outlets and lighting all I want without tearing into drywall!

Do you have an oxy/acetalene setup? You could always braze it. Just a thought.
