Veterinary supplies. They're usually more rugged because of the intended use and they don't price them nearly as high when they aren't for humans...

I like to carry an assorted pack of heat shrinks and a lighter with me, but I spend a fair amount of time in corn fields or in the woods where I tend to end up tearing wires for the taillights etc. Wouldn't take up much space though.

A REAL jack, and a decent tire wrench or something that will work as a tire wrench.

Well spammed Daniel Bead. Well spammed.

Thinking about maybe shaving this weekend sometime.

Roundup is about as tame as it gets for herbicides. The toxicity on the concentrate is low enough that it doesn't even have the skull and crossbones on the packaging, can't think of another chemical I've used that doesn't have it. Then you think about how much you're diluting it before you use...

There are various dyes you can mix in with the chemicals that will work. Something like so http://www.gemplers.com/product/748-BLUE/Spray-Colorant-Liquid-1-gal-Blue Don't know what you have locally for suppliers so you might have to do some diggin.

Yep I'd say the bubble wrap insulation is going to end up costing you. I saw a study that was done in a subdivision in Southwestern Ontario, can't find it at the moment, but they did three identical homes, one with no insulation under the basement, one with the foil-backed bubblewrap, and one...

Re: 22/30 garages fail mystery "shopper" test Grandpa always said that when you do business with someone who makes a big deal of doing business with one hand on the bible, watch out for the other hand trying to pick your pocket.

I believe every lathe should be named "Chip".

Check out kijiji a little harder. You might have to drive an hour or two but you'll get something better for a good price. These ones will all be sold but something else will come along...
