    Disposable gloves.....recommendations?

    Couple things I know for sure..... -While most gloves don't bother me, not a huge fan of powder -Prefer the ones that are more "snug" that the ones you would typically see your cafeteria person using. Mainly due to the fact that usually the work I am doing requires a fair amount of hand...

    Metric motorcycle tools

    Depending on the bike, high 20s low 30 millimeter socket (like 32mm 34mm) to get front sprockets off. One of these to remove front axles or a socket big enough to remove the home made version you may make lol.

    "New to me" Snap-On Box - Rick Mears Edition

    The little door that covers the small drawers is a little banged up but that's about it. Haven't thought about flipping it, was more curious if I got a fair price, I definitely have a use for it. From what I can tell, I did. I too kinda like the "patina" of it, but it's hard to resist the urge...

    "New to me" Snap-On Box - Rick Mears Edition

    1. Yeah it just has some surface rust for the most part. Top is in better shape than the bottom. Should clean up nice. 2. That's what I was figuring, not worth the time if it wasn't straight bolt on :) 3. Guess the $200+extra box in the picture was a deal:rocker:

    "New to me" Snap-On Box - Rick Mears Edition

    Agreed! When I started installing I had a similar craftsman box that had 3 smaller drawers as the "1st" row of the top box. Didn't realize I'd miss them when I traded it in for my 5ft Snap-On chest.

    "New to me" Snap-On Box - Rick Mears Edition

    Buddy of mine is doing a "summer cleanout" of his storage unit, so I threw my HF trailer on the Accord and off I went. Two hours later I was rummaging through the goodies. I think i have every allen key.....ever made.....ever. Same box Lookin4'67Galaxieconv did but without the middle...

    Extending driveway sides

    A retired fire station would suit me perfect but I don't think the wife would go for it :). We have plenty of people space, so toy space had to be sacrificed a bit.

    Extending driveway sides

    Like many others I started off at Best Buy in 1999 and at the time there were about 5-6 "local" shops around us. On the flip side I would say 75% of the jobs/cars I worked on were fixing/finishing DIY and other shops work. You'd be surprised....a lot of the time a DIY fix was better than a...

    Extending driveway sides

    Nice! I find that I am doing it less and less, especially with more cars coming with them from the factory. That and I usually end up sore the next day lol. Main question I get now is "how do I get my SmartPhone to play in my car?" as opposed to "Can you install this $500 radio for me"...

    Extending driveway sides

    Affordable 3 car garages put me 1.5hrs west away from work and less than desirable schools. To get a 3 car garage north, east, and south of where we are looking you need $500K+ play lol

    Extending driveway sides

    I actually was thinking about that Dan, that would be awesome! The more I look at it, the size I drew may be a bit off in terms of scale. We by no means have large cars or SUV. 90% of the time it would most likely be my 300zx, or Miata like car in that spot. Just a liiiiittle extension of the...

    Extending driveway sides

    Thanks. I actually grew up in this town including my driving years so, I know that it is on the "restrictive" side. This is definitely something that is way down on the priority list and would only be a possibility with income generated from my 2nd job/hobby. It would just be convenient to...

    Extending driveway sides

    As of now I have four and my wife has one. Not to mention the revolving door of motorcycles :lol_hitti I certainly do. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM.

    Extending driveway sides

    Oh I'll definitely be checking first. Ironically this is the same town that I had issues with when trying to open a small business years ago which in the end cost me a few months of rent in a commercial area. Learned my lesson with this village. Whatever answer I get, check with other people...

    Extending driveway sides

    NewShockerGuy that's exactly what I had in mind. A small extension added that looks nice and flows with the property. If I had all the approvals needed to do this yes I would at least get a neighbor involved and advise them to what's going on. I wouldn't just have the construction crew all...

    Extending driveway sides

    I mainly just said asphalt because it was the first thing to come to mind and it matched. Wasn't sure what other options are available that I can 1. Park on, 2. Looks decent/goes with the yard/house

    Extending driveway sides

    I agree to an extent, if I were building a large addition or monstrosity that they would have to stare at every time they wake up, sure. If this little extra patch were to ruffle their feathers, I'm not going to lose sleep over it :)

    No HOA thankfully. One of the reasons for the move :) Ah permits, forgot those.
