When I did my Fastback I just replaced the entire qp rather than a splice. Much less welding and body repair.

Cat litter buckets! I buy the cat litter in the 5 gallon yellow buckets. Had so many at one time I finally took them and threw them in the plastic recycling cage. They’re great for storing things like charcoal, bunji cords, camping supplies, etc. lid snaps back down to a water tight seal...

Coming up on 19 months since the move. Purged a lot then, and still looking at some items and wondering if I’m just being stubborn. One item is a generator my parents bought during hurricane Hugo In 1989. They fueled it up and tested again for the Y2K hype. I think they ran it once since...

Since I made my post on page 1, my youngest son had a long talk with me about the ‘66 GT Fastback. He said under no circumstances are we to sell this car. He is a car builder now doing some pretty exotic things with older corvettes. He said he is who he is today because of watching me build...

Man that’s nice and crusty looking. Beautiful! great score.

And of course this was a necessity since the new place doesn’t have an attic or outside dry storage for the mower or lawn tools. It’s a 12X24 we bought at the peak of lumber pricing. Set us back $10K pulse the $500 I spent installing solar lighting on 12v system. Just a porch light and three...

Oh, the front of the garage where the monster HVAC sits

We moved about 18 months ago. I had to give up my garage that was 3 bays wide but with two doors. I had a really nice work area. And I had a 16X24 workshop room for my hobbies and clutter along with a huge stash of plastic model, my main hobby now. First thing I did was reassess my abilities...

I had the same setup, lots of moisture. I bought 1” galvanized pipe and ran it the length of my garage slightly down hill and then a drop almost to the floor with a drain valve. About 2’-3’ above the drain I T’d off to a dryer with a drain. Moisture gone!

Join the Inside Track Club at HF. That 10% was 15% for ITC members. And it said “on anything” and will cover tool chests. I bought my membership just to get the 15% off back in feb when I bought a 24” chest. Oh, and it’s that time of the year when they start pushing all the sales.

After dealing with a Mother that had your same attitude, it’s pretty ****** to do that to family. Well, she actually thought she was leaving me a gold mine of QVC ****.

My kids have already put dibs on my tools and guns. No issue there. I’m not a hardware hoarder, just one small storage rack full. Now the ‘66 Mustang GT will have to be sold to keep the fighting at at a minimum. Models are my hoarding kryptonite. Plastic scale models. Got probably 300+...

I’m retired. She still works. Kind of keeps the peace. My retirement pay would barely cover expenses of mortgage, tax and power bill. Besides, with the blower on the side of the deck it probably wouldn’t fit through the door of my shed.

Are you kidding me? My wife lost her religion over me dropping $6500 on the mower. Another $2k tacked on would put me on TV on Divorce Court or her on TV on Snapped.

Yea, my new ZTR’s bagger is $2000. It’s got a belt driven fan unit to blow the leaves to the bags. Not gonna happen. Got an Ohio Steel 50” sweeper from Walmart for $350 delivered. I miss the bagger, but not $2k of missing it.

Just bought one. Wife bitched because “She likes to rake the yard”. Really? Then why did I have several trips to the dump with a dozen bags each trip I bagged last year? Took me 20 min this year the first time I used it. Storage though, I’ll probably put it in the shed, standing on end...

We both made some concessions to get the ultimate retirement view. Although she has a few more years to go. Remember I said “everything else to do now”?

What would I change? Ground clearance! I only say that because I moved about 17 months back and to move the box we actually had to remove the castors and put furniture Dollie’s on each end to get it up the truck ramp. Honestly, garage is a place holder for junk on my benches right now. I’m...

Last time they cut a sheet for me the jackass running the saw pushed it through so hard and fast it ruined the edge about 1” in by splintering it.

I’m planning on building a small table to mount to the side of my hot tub. Going to be about 6’ long made out of two 5/4 deck boards For the top. Just a small table to set drinks on while in the hot tub. I need the inner deck board to flip up and lay flat on the outer board when it’s not in...
