    There was a show on history or discovery channel a few years ago, called 'it takes a theif' They found a former burglar and had him case some houses and then break in like he was actually robbing them. Smashing cabinets, emptying out cupboards, etc. He actually robbed the houses. I dont know...

    Winter Tires

    Before I met my wife I rocked out the all seasons for years and did pretty well. We moved to where she was from, its pretty rural and there are several ski centers near by. She told me I had to have snow tires. I balked at her, but since the all seasons on my car were ready for a change I...

    Handling a roadside breakdown

    I like to go over the game footage of recent decisions as well. As you said, not because of the money but to reassure yourself you took the smart choice and to learn something for next time. Can't know where we are going if we dont know where we have been! What is your and your familes time...

    which is cheaper to build???

    I agree with Falcon. The lower prices of some pole barns, it is due mass production. Im only talking about the building itself, not electrical, concrete, or insulation. You can save a whole lot of money by 'not being different'. The outfit I used delivered and built mine for not much more...

    Garage, wood directly in the ground. I don't understand.

    I def see your point about a few extra pennies to make it last a lifetime, but I think about the rest of the barn as well. I went with posts in the ground because I figure by the time they rot, the rest of the barn will be up for rehab too. Roof, walls, windows, doors, inside walls...

    Metal projects

    Depends what I am doing. If I was going to build a trailer then yes to all of the above. But for random projects around the shop I usually use metal bed frame rails. My buddy and I used to grab them whenever we saw them at the curb. Just look around on trash day and grab them. It's getting...

    100-120 Sears & K-Marts to close doors this next year...

    Thank you Frank. I was about to say something about that myself. I always liked sears as a kid and I used to work in the tool department back in college. Actually I met my wife there. Suffice to say, if I ask for a tool for Christmas, I always get it. As for them moving merchandise that...
