Sorry to say, but the executives dont give a ****. In the automotive industry, the exec's dont support their own company by actually buying vehicles. They're given to them to drive. Think they actually go to a dealer and get their vehicles serviced? Think again. They say, to date, 800,000+ jobs...

Chrysler/Fiat Motors issued the same warning to their Service Engineering Group. Had nasty pictures of $$$ electrical stuff melted because of these fuses. As far as the "grade-nuthing" nuts and bolts.. I HATE breaking off bolts and causing more headaches. It's just not worth the agrevation to me.

You really have to go to the "General Garage Discussion" and review the HF "Harbor Freight 13 drawer tool boxes $271.99" thread (way too much discussion?!). Anyway, as I posted, I went with a friend today and we picked up the last two in the store. Bottom line: it's a good box for the price. I'd...

Re: Pnut's garage renovation 2009/2010 Geeezzzz, are you organized. What an inspiration to the rest of us.

They say, to date, 800,000+ jobs related to manufacturing have been lost. When the UAW and the politcians actually endorsed NAFTA years ago claiming "free trade" was going to be good for Americans....well, I guess that didnt work out so good. But big business and certain coroporate executives...

Just went this afternoon with my friend who has a full size pick'em up and we each picked up one of the bottom boxes (last two in the store). While they were loading up the boxes, I went back inside and used another 20% coupon to pick up a "quick-open" handgun safe. It was a good day!

This is good stuff, but $30./gal for a trailer? Here's the ultimate deal: a majority of my stuff is Rustolem red primered, then painted liberally with "clearance" OIL based PORCH and FLOOR enamel. Bought out the shelves at Meijer's = $7.97/gal! This stuff dries hard as a rock and holds up to...

You're exactly right. We need to find the right local builder or architect who sees that a big building (50x100) in the middle of the woods won't look like an abandoned Home Depot. Although the more I look back at the GeoBarns website, the more I think this guy is even impressive than the first...

Just read your thread. Wow. Wow again. Instead of being in your location, can you picture a similiar building in the woods, surrounded by tall pines and over looking what could probably be a state-record giant oak? The construction and (lack of) waste are very impressive. For some reason, I...

Ok, I get it. No, were not going to be woodland gnomes, or lost-in-time hippies. Realistically, we probably wont be off the grid. But, if we plan things properly, like many of you do out there, I'm sure there are things that we could do that are not that far from normal construction methods. -...

Message from Roy Underhill: "Knowledge is one thing; understanding is another":thumbup:

Heres the background: We have 4 acres north of Charlotte, NC. Its pristine wooded land surrounded on three sides by County wooded land. The ultimate wooded estate. We initially wanted to build a 50x100 building, then house. Plans have changed since the economy dumped and we're stuck in the...

Sorry for my ignorance, but compared to SO, Matco, Craftsman, etc, where does International fall?

Would it be too nosy to ask what that GIANT box cost? I'm jealous!:rocker:

Y o u **** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lordy, Lordy, dont you dare scratch those SO tools! I.too, have some weird looking,fabricated specials made from "cheap-***" tools. It doesnt hurt so bad when you twisty 'em up or weld-goober all over 'em when you have a whole $2.50 invested in the set. I look for these cheapies at the flea...

That's what I was thinking when I saw them. Can't feel bad if they get lost. But hey, what about the Craftsman bargain? Those swivels come in handy and at that price, an extra isn't a bad thing, right?.

I KNEW IT ! That's why I bought the last TWO sets.:) Uh huh, I spent a whole FIVE dollars for two socket sets; plan on giving one to my son. Am I a good Dad? you betcha!:thumbup:

Shoping the clearance isle at Kmart when I spotted these. - "Companion #30584" 9 piece SAE 3/8" drive sockets. - 3/8" to 7/8" with holder http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr96/Faldo_2008/100_3733_edited.jpg Yeah, Yeah I know. Made in China.....but, originaly $29.99 - now :) ** $2.50 **...

Just remember who used to run HD... CEO Robert Nardelli who is now running Chrysler. Call their " corporate customer service" 800# --- he outsourced their jobs to INDIA !
