    Height of exterior garage lights?

    All exterior lighting on my garage are at a height that prevents someone from simply unscrewing or disabling the lights in the event they are "up to no good".

    Best way to kill a tree stump

    DJ. gave you a very good suggestion! Tordon is a very effective product. It is available at most farm and ag stores, Tractor supply etc. Comes in quart size and larger. Cut the sprouts, apply and let it work. I have had excellent results using Tordon.:thumbup:

    Veg garden fence advice

    My, you must be dealing with some large aggressive bunnies! Out here on edge of the wilderness, we use a 2ft tall woven wire, or small rectangular wire fence, available at any farm and feed type store, even them large box stores. For posts we always use metal. My favorite is rebar or round...

    Kansas City hey hey

    I hope you got a nice place on the East side of the muddy Mo. Missouri can always use more dudes that are into tats and rides. Me, I am one of the old school fools that still builds traditional hotrods. Hope you get a break from the rain/thunder storms today, raining like a mother down here in...

    Painting question.

    Scuff them up with a red Scotchbrite pad, wipe clean as stated in previous posts and paint them with the same paint you are using on the walls. Mine were done that way 15 years ago, and still look good.

    beat to death driveway snow melt

    You Sir are a good man. When my young ones, and the full time night women, complain about the condition of our driveway, I just hand them the shovel.

    Air Compressor Drain Valve?

    I found that by putting a Calendar on the wall next to the compressor, at a height that I see it all the time, has helped me to remember to drain the tank. I make a notation of the date to record that I have drained the compressor tank, and by doing so, it gives me a visual indication that I...

    Galvanized pipe!! I save the copper for making Shine, and the plastic for the city fellers who don't listen to anything but their wallets.

    I want some 1/2 sockets suggestions (or do I even need them?)

    "I don't know if I need them" O my! If I had used that as a factor in buying tools, I wouldn't have half of the tools I ended up having!! If nothing else, my kids will get to fight over something when I leave this earth.

    Miller syncrowave 180 sd

    Well Thumper, I must be living in a different part of the world from you. Around here, if you see a part or piece of a tool etc. that belongs with the unit or machine, the auctioneers are more than willing to put the parts and pieces together. They seem to be more concerned in keeping the...

    Miller syncrowave 180 sd

    Zrexxer- You are right on the money! No way should anyone bid on machines that are not sold as complete units with the parts and pieces that came with them, and there with the unit already. Auctioneers or folk who pull that **** ought to be hog tied and dipped!! Looks like that machine has...

    Storing non-tools?

    I agree with you regarding the use of file cabinets! You can store a lot of parts etc. in them, and most importantly, items will stay relatively clean. Putting them on casters really helps out when you drop something behind that heavy full cabinet too!

    A good buddy tried the 3 phase route on "smoking deals". As others have suggested, be careful this is most expensive, in all aspects!

    Heat for a 40'x40' shop?

    Radiant heating, overhead tube type, seems to be the popular way to go in a lot of auto body shops. As far as low cost, propane last year was out of sight, this winter I filled the 1000 gal tank, to max 80% for less than $500. half of prior winters. I also have a propane furnace system, like in...
