    Robbed :(

    I appreciate the update! A monitored security system is just one of the layers covering us. It helps on homeowners insurance as well.

    Bendpak Questions - Ready to Pull the Trigger

    I just got mine. I rented a forklift, and found that to be well worth it. It is LONG! No way I could have got it home without renting a trailer, which still would have left me with a bit of an unloading problem. But you have to have an appropriate area to operate the forklift. The rental...

    Stupid Things You See People at Work Do That Make You Shake Your Head

    After a windstorm, the fire dept. I work for was dispatched to a tree over the road, (one of hundreds). For some reason dispatch put this in the front of the line for us to go to. I found a guy standing on a tree, that had fallen on power/phone lines with a chain saw cutting the end off the...

    Narrow vs Standard 4 post Bendpac

    I get the make the choice! Am I going to regret not having the extra space a HD 9ST won't have at 89 3/4" between columns, or would I miss not having the 100 1/4 inches that the standard HD 9 offers? Stored on it will be a 69 Mustang and a 67 Fairlane underneath, or vise versa. I would like...

    Snap-On toolbox, and Harbor Freight tool

    The above. My Dad and I worked out of a Kennedy tool box that we could carry for years. Tools were added down the road, good tools. I have my first Snap-On rollaway in my garage now. I have had it for two years, and I am 48. Used and mid-range boxes before that.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Re: what did you do in your garage today? Leaned against the Snap-On rollaway my friend and Snap-On dealer sold me and hoisted a beer to him. I saved for years for that thing. He treated me right with tool prices, and was one of my best friends. He died of a heart attack about a week ago...

    Cost of a Propane Tank

    If you get it from the company that sells the propane, (it remains their tank), you are married to them for propane. That was my problem, and they were not willing to deal on price, and others would, often asking if it was a "customer owned tank". So I bought my own, and wish I would have...

    An air compressor for use in Togo, Africa

    I am sure you mean in Togo, by saying "in country", right? The tax or tariff right now is out of this world. I am just curious what it available there. I will see about contacting IR

    An air compressor for use in Togo, Africa

    A good friend is going to Togo to be a missionary. His specialty he has to offer is Airframe and Power plant, and a general aviation pilot. He is set with tools and a good box, as well as a hanger to work in when he gets there, as that is taken care of by the organization he is with. He is...

    Ridgid or Fulton?

    I am starting to think I don't need them, as I can't remember when I used them last. I think one is from grandfather on my dad's side, and the other my mom's side. They got along well, I guess I will just keep them both. Never thought about the two used together. Thanks!

    Ridgid or Fulton?

    I am going through my father-in-law's, father, and my grandfather's tools. While I have kept the lions share, I have to thin some out. Do I keep the 18 inch Ridgid pipe wrench, or the 18 inch Fulton? Both probably 30s era, in not earlier, similar condition, though the Fulton is more refined...

    New bloke from NSW, Australia

    Welcome! Sounds like you have a very useful garage/shop/shed! Funny how the world over, they are used the same by men. There is a mountain of information on this site.

    Rats, insulation and vapor barrier

    Thanks. I am guessing they are calling it "encapsulation". I would think wood would have to breathe. I hate rats. Trapping them just became a game after a while.

    Rats, insulation and vapor barrier

    Now that I have gotten the rats locked out, and trapping was successful, (thanks to a link I found on a search here), I am going to have the crawl space re insulated. Do to damage, all new insulation and a new vapor barrier. My question is should I go with the 6 mil on the ground, and call it...
