Congrats on the insulation! You were smart to go with closed cell. If your renovation isn't water tight, it was due to lack of effort. I live on the Chesapeake Bay down in Yorktown and man, the amount of moisture is crazy. The worst part is the salt in the air, everything outside corrodes...

I live in Virginia and I just cut my banana tree down every year. Then I cover the root portion with about 8" of mulch. It comes back every year and I get new trees every year, so I think I am up to 10 in my flower bed. They grow to about 12' each year.

You aren't running out of space. You just need to build a period correct Quonset hut out back to store finished vehicles...

Congrats on finishing the cabinet! It looks like it has always been there. I hope you have some mf'ing pancakes this morning!

Lugz, your machinist box is an Asco Art Steel New York box. Good find! https://richmond.craigslist.org/tls/d/vintage-asco-5-drawer/6426948787.html

Great job on raising the garage! I'd go with the 1x3 furring strips. It will really come in handy when you drywall to have more wiggle room when abutting sheets of drywall. In my garage, I want to keep the rafters exposed. My plan is to buy 1x4's and attach them on each rafter to form a T...

How are things going on the barn?

Outlaw for the win! :pimpflash It is for a drill. You can find it on page 37 of the 1952 power tools catalog. See link below. http://www.blackburntools.com/articles/rose-tools-catalog-archives/sears/pdfs/sears-craftsman-1952-power.pdf

Adrian, to remove the drawers I use a small 90 degree pick and place it in the hole in the slide about an inch before the slide hits the stop. Then I slide the drawer open the whole way and the slide pops free. I then repeat on the other side and continue to do all the drawers.

Looking good! With help, you might even finish the roof this weekend. I know you can't wait until you can put ladders away. I know I prefer working on terra firma to being up high.

You're making subscribed threads too difficult. I go in each day and any of my subscribed threads that haven't been viewed have the title in a bold font. I then start from the bottom up. Sometimes one won't be highlighted, but since they are in chronological order, I can see the date stamp of...

I've got 5 heritage boxes and all have dates - except the one with the handles like yours. They were the earliest handle design (straight lines). The later boxes all have the diamond like design on the center of the handle and they have dates - I can verify as the crown boxes also have the...

That label is a Kennedy label. While it looks similar to the Huot, I'm fairly certain it is a Kennedy from 60-70's. Red wasn't as popular as the brown finish, but it was out there. If you look back in this thread you'll see examples of your box. Here is a link to an example...

Tynee, your box is a Kennedy that someone repaired.

Ryan, the box looks great! Are you using rivets to attached the pulls? If so, could you share your source?

Congrats on the progress! It is really looking good. On another note, if that is you in the last photo, you need new shoes. lol

I'm sure you're glad to get the roofing ordered. On a plus, it won't be as hot outside for the install. Looking forward to the install!

Those people at Quincy are so thoughtful! They built you a frame for the compressor/guard house! Now you just need some plywood and clapboards to finish it! :lol_hitti

We did figure it out. I'd found the company was out of the midwest (KC?). It is in a post in here somewhere. I'll try and track it down.

Congrats, Brian! Isn't it fun to catch unicorns? ;)
