Done it that way. The core bit rental works well as well but yeah I just used a 1/2" bit and made a circle for the last dryer vent I needed to run through some brick. Brick is soft so you don't have to use a hammer drill but it does help. Go slow since brick is soft as its easy to break off a...

Health issues ****! Been battling ulcerative colitis for the last 4 years here real bad. Been diagnosed with it for 14 or so years. 4 years ago I started flaring up and ended up going from 190lbs down to 117 lbs. Couldn't get better no matter what. Constantly on prednisone (Yuck!) had to...

I may go with that someday, however for now I will just stick with he transmission it came with. I want to see how it performs. With the 6.7 powerstrokes that trans has a good reputation. It is big and huge and probably ***** a bit of power out but I am okay with that. What's crazy is the...

It's a basic 1990 F150. My first truck in high school was a 1991 basic F150 just like this. Same color and everything. My dad ran a construction company and had one that had a bad knock. it had the 300/4.9 straight six that he and I replaced and it became mine. Drove it for a while then...

I bought the same setup from Mike at Godzilla garage. He's super helpful and I only wished it had an actual wood pallet around it. I plan to stick mine in my '90 F150 for a fun little around town truck. I'm still working on cleaning up the stock wiring from the truck to see what I want to...

Awesome! That's what I am leaning towards now. Just need to get some warmer weather to get it done.

Okay here is the deal. I am looking into doing this myself. Background. Had a company come out to do a polyaspartic floor. They spent two days grinding and were having all kinds of trouble. Claiming it was way to hard and they couldn't get it to grind. They gave up, didn't charge me...

I wanted to have a slight break from the cold that comes a few months of the year here. Due to the way they poured the walls this is how I handled it. I just went roughly 2' in all the way around except in the corners I did a full sheet. This way I get a thermal break from the cold trying to...

I do not have that kind of space. I wish I did. My dad did that with his shop and then never used it like that.

Some progress pictures. The last picture is from our terrible back porch. Which I will rebuild to work with the shop once it is complete. It is maybe 6'-5" under the outside of it as you walk out. It was made in the 70's just like our house. Although I believe it was homeowner done as it...

I have been on here for years. In fact what first got my attention years ago was the 150 watt CFL light bulbs that others had used in their shops. I had my dad order some years ago. It has to be over 10 years or more. Anyways I finally have my shop going. Back when I first started reading...

Something around 50x30 with the possible future lean to of 16' wide along the 50' side. I am still a ways off. I plan to stick build it too.

Looks good! I am still about a year away from starting my shop here. Always good to see others from Wichita on here. Also a west side guy lol.

I installed these on 3 of my dad's doors. He has everything adjusted correctly before these were installed. He gets wind gusts so bad that it would rattle his doors at times and even push them in at times. Once these were installed he no longer has these issues. They made a huge improvement...

Sounds like a great deal! I am in!

I like how you spell out all the parts your using in your swap. I feel that can be handy for all people that want to do some kind of LS type of swap into any kind of vehicle.

I have 2 of these for spraying stain for wood working projects. They are great for that. They clean up easy and like you said as soon as its no longer cleaning good you get another.

Wear goggles, at least with the Sherwin Williams stuff that is Shellac based it makes a fog that just stings your eyes pretty good. Goggles help but it still hurts, a mask is a must as well.

I like this stuff. I spray a coat, then sand, and fill everything I want with sandable wood putty then spray again and sand lightly, and fill more if needed. This also seals your product real well to accept the next level of paint...

As a Carpenter/Tile Guy/All around contractor I wear gloves when doing demo. Or in cold weather. My dad who is in his 60's does about the same. I do it that way just cause I like to feel the wood or whatever I am cutting. Welding I will wear them. I just am more of a keeping my hands free...
