Exactly what I did. Still helps in this economy.

Spent another $100 on Knipex today. Makes me not want to go into a Lowes since I either come out sad I didn't buy them, or sad that I spent a lot of money. It's a fact that since joining GJ my tool buying has increased tenfold.

Did you get the Milwaukee at HD? They are having a special this week with a free 3rd battery. Being a Milwaukee addict I can tell you this is the lowest price so far ever seen including Black Frida.

Lol and I thought you fit the whole top and bottom in an Oddysey! Did you like the cabinet at the bottom? That's what put me off from buying that and electing for the smaller 42 with just drawers.... I got mine for the Black friday deal. I like it, esp for the price. My drawer liners were also...

I no this sounds weird, but some distilled water. In case of emergency you can drink it, but also use it for coolant if your radiator pops a leak. I also don't think anyone mentioned duct tape. I have never fixed anything without using it <- joke do not bash me! Plus I know some people might...

I think Quijote definitely had the right intentions. Among the stuff I see members post on here I think it would be wise to incorporate the design suggestions from Quijote. Not all of us are close to as good as Steevo here, and I'm sure half of the ones that think they are, aren't. It's a good...

mayday0017 Although I don't really ever say this, your intentions were good and that's all that matters. Thank you though, I did buy 4 cards. Maybe I can get a military friend to go with me and bring the savings up to 20%.

Yea, well I have the Lowes card which saves me 5%. So going out to Michaels and buying it only saves me 10%, 5% of which I would have saved anyway by just using my Lowes card at lowes. Hence, I am gaining 5% by going to Michaels, and the gas etc is not really worth it. The 40 for 50 I would have...

I just went to the local Michaels and they were $45 for 50. The ads here (Virginia Beach) say the same. You guys are some lucky bastards! Not really worth it here to spend gas for an extra 5%. I also don't think you can stack the 5% from the Lowes card since you have to use it to get the 5% off...

Ok, this makes me understand it SO much better. That is an amazing bench you built by the way, welding is something I eventually plan on learning. For now its just brazing and soldering that I know. 4,5, and 6 are great points. I agree, for the price of the HF toolboxes its a deal, and its not...

Haha at first I got excited thinking I was your neighbor until I read the reason why you thought I was. No Sorry, I live in Va Beach, and Dennis is my real name btw. I just wouldn't use my last name anywhere on the internet. Not like it matters anyway when the CIA still knows everything I do...

Thank you ever so much IHI for all the help. I am thankful beyond words. I didn't hem the first 2 but I hemmed the others and they are SO much stronger and don't just ripple and rattle when you shake them. Yea, I'm looking into getting a brake for the weekend(rental) so I can do all the trim...

I have the weirdest question in the world. Why go through all the expense and trouble of making those chests into a cabinet on stands. Why not simply leave them on their casters and put a top on it? That way if you ever need to move it you can lift the top off with a bunch of friends and roll...

Thanks for the great information! It was very detailed. So now for some questions You said to chisel off the side stops, but once they are chiseled off I will have about a 1/2 gap atleast between the window and the brickmold. Did you just caulk that big a gap? Doesn't it look hideous with such...

Tcianci I was putting them from the inside up against the stop. BUT I am wrapping the windows, and after I wrap them the coil makes the opening too small for the casement to open since both sides are smaller by a ¼ “. Maybe you are thinking I have double hung’s which wouldn’t give me a problem...

Also not sure what you mean by full encasement? Tracks?

Honestly, a bunch of factors. JD Powers- you can say they pay them/they are paid but I have found out that buying stuff JD powers recommends in the past hasn't led to any problems. Same thing I am more likely to go with Consumer Reports if the other brand/item isn't but I just don't solely...

I got mine for my Genie on Amazon. They were ~16 a piece and although I didnt get a key fob mine was small enough to just hook on my bike keychain.

So not sure where to post this but feel free to move it if deemed necessary. So I'm replacing the windows in my parents house (its a 1991) with old drafty windows and I'm replacing them with Simonton 5500 Casements (pocket replacements). My question is I have done replacement windows from the...

I use a shop vac all the time to clean out my garage, and even once a year for the back of my truck bed next to the cab because after a while the trash accumulates there and the water won't drain well.
