    Tube chasis ?'s

    The "do not mig 4130" caught my eye, too. Why? I do it at work. Granted, its not life or death stuff, but still. A quick search turned up this.

    Avoid SJ Discount tools!

    I'm going to hold my thoughts on them, except to say I've exchanged emails with Megan every day this week. Until today, which makes me think bad thoughts. I think Megan must be really busy, as sometimes she signs her emails MEgan. What someone said about dropshipping is true about them as one...

    Are people really this ignorant?

    I see worse misspellings in my local newspaper. Reading the ads can be quite funny some days. When my family had an appliance parts distributorship, I had a guy on the phone ask for a bake element for a Tampon stove. I repeatedly ask for the name and quizzed him "Is it a Tappan?". "No, it's a...

    ...for those thinking of tiles..... + + +

    Well grout can be replaced. Not fun, I've just did it the last couple weeks. What seemed quick, easy and cheap. Wasn't. Kitchen remodel. Discolored grout and one chipped tile. No problem as I have extra tiles. I figured since I had as much leftover grout from the origional tiling (15 years ago)...

    drywall with trusses

    Using furring strips would make for a better job in the end. Using 5/8 or 1/2. It will smooth out the minor elevation changes on each truss, making for a smoother, flatter ceiling appearance. Of course, this is my opinion and you all can do what you want to your own stuff.:)

    WTB Kent Moore J 23907

    The grease method works best with the solid bushings. With the needle bearings, not so well. I looked that puller up, just to see what you're looking for. It looks like it would do a good job. I've used a slide hammer and a single hook, but that is somewhat iffy, too. I stumbled onto these on...

    It sounds like you've got the dremel, so check out Widget Supply. They have some good deals on cutoff wheels. Among other stuff. Yes, I'm a happy customer.

    How to build a sliding wood gate

    Search for "rolling gate" ln images and you'll find a variety of gates. I've done some functional sliding gates for warehouse mezzanines. What they save in swing space they make up for in extra width of the gate. Here's a link to pictures. Down near the bottom of the page is what it sounds like...

    LBTQI poster in my work space!

    Where I work, that would be considered a form of ****** harassment. If its inside their locker, that's one thing. If its displayed publicly and is offensive to even one person, it ****** harassment.

    Garage designing, my first effort.

    Could you go bigger if its attached? Around here, if its a detatched it can't have a bigger footprint than the main structure. If its attached, it percentage of lot coverage. Something to think about, check into, etc.
