    Resoling Redback boots

    I know this is an old thread but I thought I would update. When you google "resoling redback boots" this thread is the second result! I am sending my old pair off tomorrow for a resole. I bought a new pair but the difference in my 3 year old pair and new pair is like night and day. I guess I...

    My Super Single Car Garage

    So I was moving some lumber around in the garage and caught one of my lights with it and it came crashing down and blew up the 2 bulbs and pretty well mangled itself. I have been looking at some LED lighting since I started this but pricing has always held me back. Looks like they have come...

    My Super Single Car Garage

    Manny, worth more than the very few bucks I spent on it. In the summer you dont feel the heat beating through the door and in the winter the door is warm (as warm as the garage) to the touch. The other thing I did was used a 4x8 sheet of insulation and stuck it in my huge window and that has...

    My Super Single Car Garage

    Wow do I feel guilty! I have neglected my garage and almost everything in it since early June. Last thing I made was a "fruit" crate and that was over memorial day weekend. After that it has been motorcycle riding every weekend. Over labor day weekend after a short 300 mile ride I decided to...

    My new Amish pole barn 36x48

    This is absolutely an amazing pole barn. I had a 30x40 cleary barn at one point in my life and I can assure you that the barn and the people who installed it were not half as thorough as those gentlemen. I wish I had access to Amish here in Colorado I always enjoy seeing the craftsmanship and...

    Remote Warm Storage

    That is awesome. Hats and gloves off to you for working in that temperature. Not only do I not have anything made for that type of cold but even if I did I know I wouldnt last !

    post pics of your heated jacket --

    Just got my Bosch yesterday. IMHO it's a better normal jacket than the Milwaukee. They heat almost identical. I was wearing the bosch yesterday with no heat on and it was mid 20s. And I was great. When I got home I had to shovel and so I connected the heat and stated shoveling. Had to turn...

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Mid-Century Moto Mecca Makeover

    Gregor, your house and shop are looking amazing like always. I am a little curious about cameras. I had never owned a digital camera until about 2 years ago. I was wandering through an office max that was going out of business and they had a 12mp kodak for 19 bucks or so. Never even really...

    Any auto repair shop owners here?

    this guy knows what he talking about. We own 11 shops in 3 states, its nuts, stressfull and sometimes I think working at jamba juice might be wise career move. Dont get known as a shop that discounts, price matches or plays the low price game. You will lose time, energy and your patience...

    My Super Single Car Garage

    In January I got around to hanging some insulation on the garage door. Really seems to help. I also did the large window with a 2 inch thick piece but the window is 106 and the sheet is only 96 so it doesnt fit that great. Hard to justify the cost of an entire sheet for only a little bit...

    Lighting for new shop

    Install as in hard wire right? But legal to simply plug in. So in theory if this LED lamp was sold with the plug already installed it would be OK? Not being a ****, trying to understand. Are the rules different for a commercial guy vs a private homeowner?

    Question, if it came with a plug instead of leads would it have to pass ul certification?

    Lighting for new shop

    Was my coffee maker ul listed or certified that was just recalled? I could have been severely burned or maimed by spraying hot water and I bet an insurance investigation would have turned up nothing. Life is full of risk, its up to us to determine if the reward is worth it.
