Some sensation is back, so I think the nerve is naturally reconnecting. Putting pressure on it still feels funny and it's not near as strong. Still don't have full ROM in it either. Have surgery scheduled in November. Pissed I'm going to miss deer season, but my hand is more important than...

Funny thing is I have a 2.3kWH array on my roof from the previous owners. Saves me a whopping $10 a month on my bill [emoji38] Sent from my Pixel XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

The rebates for any energy savings appliances are laughable and must be installed by one of their preferred contractors. Don't get me wrong labor rate in NC is cheap but the quotes you get from those folks vs buying it yourself and doing a DIY install is insane. I've been trying to get a hold...

OK so after doing more research I feel confident in installing everything. I am trying to find a local HVAC tech will test, vac, and "charge" the system if only for the ability to maintain the warranty. The power company's requirements for rebates, and what they pay out, are laughable at best...

I needed a new set of diagonal cutters as my old ones have loosened up to the point where I can't stand it anymore. So I went to the Home Despot and was really tempted by the Klein's, as that brand has yet to fail me, BUUUUUT I decided to check out the Milwaukee and CL offerings as I wasn't to...

I'll have to keep this in mind....my last DP that had this issue I solved it by selling it :lol_hitti. To be fair, it was a cheap DP with more run out than my cordless drill

I'm in the work smarter, not harder, crowd. So I use the heck out of my breaker bars. I've also busted my knuckles enough times have learned my lesson. Sent from my Pixel XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

Probably call in a HVAC guy to do the flaring and vacuum. The flaring part is the only thing that gives me pause. Is it like flaring brake lines? Sent from my Pixel XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

If you search on YouTube wooden scissor lift the first result should be for a German kid who built a scissor lift cart. He's got the whole build documented IIRC. Design looked to be solid as well. Sent from my Pixel XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

That's what I'm leaning towards. Still don't know what size or even how to figure that out. I'm guessing 12k or 14k, especially because the door won't be as insulated as the walls. Sent from my Pixel XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

Hahaha now that's funny. Yeah it wasn't ideal but it's 1.3mi from work, 3mi from a boat launch for a huge lake, and I will have it paid off in 7-10years. At that point a nice rural property with acreage will be more feasible once my boys are teenagers Walkway side is even more exposed. And...

Putting it in the back wall would have it exiting above the toilet, or in the vanity mirror, in the downstairs bath. One of the side walls is my front walk, the other faces a neighbor's house with clear LOS from the street. So sadly, nope. It's either mini split or my 14000BTU portable unit that...

HOA says it's a no-go. Would love to have an easy solution like that but it is what it is. Sent from my Pixel XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

Thanks for the link. Looks like I've got some light reading to do. They do make a bigger unit as well that's less than buying 2 smaller ones IIRC. Sent from my Pixel XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

I bought a WEN electric pole sander for about $100. Best money spent. Pair it with a shop vac bag and a hepa filter and it's amazing.theres virtually no dust. Sent from my Pixel XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

I'm aware of it's limitations, and it is better than nothing. Using a VAC bag and HEPA filter in the shop vac with the dust deputy is about the best one can do with this setup. I'm planning to upgrade to a 2 stage collector with a pleated filter either when I finish building my CNC Router or I...

You'll want a radiant barrier on the underside of the roof sheathing. My house was built with sheathing that had it pre-attached. How useful that is I don't yet know. I have been meaning to put a temp sensor up there to monitor the attic temps so I can determine if I can put my NVR up there...

Looking to get an air filtration system for my garage. Mostly to help combat sawdust and for my health benefit. I'm still planning on wearing a dust mask (looking at RZ masks right now) and I'll be using a dust deputy hooked up to a shop vac (for the time being will upgrade that later). I've...

Depends on the type of leather, and how thick it is. My wife's baby loc can sew garment leather without trouble up to a set thickness so long as you use the correct needles. For belts, holsters, saddles, and bags you need a beefier industrial grade machine or one of the manual machines (I.E...
