This, it's way less expensive to make your own than buying the little ant traps at the store. A box of borax will last a long time and it wort spoil. I use about one part Borax to four-five parts sugar and add enough water to make a paste out of it. When I find hills in the yard, I just drop...

I guess I am not quite understanding how this could happen. If the structure was enclosed on all four sides, I would think that for your one carport/garage/shop wall (singular) to become out of plumb, the entire structure would have had to move as a unit (the other three walls would also be out...

A few points..... My daughter lives a couple hours east of the OP. When I redid her plumbing in her house I had to install a shut off valve inside the basement as there wasn't one. :( I called the water department to turn the water off for me and was shocked when the fella knelt down and...

If the acetate smells as bad as you folks claim it does, Coogar must have some pretty good HVAC units to change the air over in his shop! Having said that, impressive collection! Do you work for them or have any connection to the company other than being a collector? ETA.... Just saw this as I...

You stole that scaffold! As a rule of thumb, I would say a set inclusive of braces, feet and wheels would be around 150-200 pounds and the ladders might go 75-100 pounds. You either got a ton of junk drills or scaffold! Good job!

IMO, anyone that owns a building (and works on it) should have enough scaffold to at least build two towers to reach the tallest area of their structure, along with planks and staging available to use. The posters above who said that scaffold requires space to store, they are absolutely right...

It was yesterday that you should have skipped the coffee! It seemed like a good deal to me as well, just not for me. I wish I had been around for the stainless barrel caddy that you posted up earlier!

My brother-in-law's Estwing framing hammer would hurt my ears when he hit anything.

If you aren't in a hurry, they usually have one of the vacs among their Black Friday deals. It's about 3 months till someone will "leak" their ad!

Most excellent idea!

I saw my uncle do that as well. I wasn't concerned for him but I was concerned the ladder would fail. I saw a strong young man that I went to high school with, carrying two sheets of 3/4" CDX one trip after another and he was fine till he slipped on the plank he was walking on. He wrecked his...

I add four cap fulls to my one gallon two cycle gas mix. The smell of the gas treatment makes me feel good when I open the container!

My brother in law, has quite a a collection of Estwing hammers of varying shapes and sizes. When we work together, he gets into his Stilletto collection for me because the Estwings steel has a ring to them that actually hurts my ears.
