I bought my first house in 2013 for $50,000. It was a tiny 1 bedroom house on a crawlspace foundation. I spent a year between working full time, and completing an engineering degree taking a full course load, completely gutting and rebuilding it with a lot of help from my father. I kept the...

"Stop taking pictures of me human!" Hes a cute blockhead.

I would drill a hole in the bottom of the pot through into the center of the PVC so they don't trap water. Other than that, a great idea I may steal!

My Dad had a N750 that I always thought was a really cool truck. It was in the corner of our yard my whole life. I remember sitting in it, blowing the air horn when I was a little kid. He sold it in 2008. Yours is awesome being a crew cab!

Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! Jar944 has just been waiting for the proper time to post that picture on the internet...

This is a safe space Strouty. You can tell us what the snow did to you...

Happy National Pizza Day Gregor!

I had a good chuckle at this last part. You may not be an engineer, or a machinist or a fabricator, at your "day job", but you are one of the most creative, logical and skilled engineers machinists, and fabricators I know (thru the internet.) And I work with some top notch machinists and...

Verado- I think your boy is broken. Mine sleeps like that too.

Monza- If you want to ditch that powerhead, I am pretty sure that all the Ryobi attachments work on the Stihl kombi heads. My brother has a Ryobi tiller and hedge clipper attachment that he picked up at a tag sale, and they work great for his Stihl kombi. don't see why the other attachments...

Bob, I've read through your whole thread, and I remember some of the items on your wall of fame- you are part of the OIF aluminum hammer club, of course you have the QST medallion in honor of 1/2 cup, if I remember correctly your grandmother? gave you the saw as a wedding present? Can you go...

Instead of trying to hide the slots grain matching plugs, plug them with a contrasting wood. Then they are design elements!

I can't believe I just read that someone on garage journal said to shrink a garage... Other than that I agree with red, flip the master bath so the shower shares the wall with the mechanical room, and move the door to the bath to the other side, and reverse the swing on the bedroom door.

Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! Tom, First, sorry to hear about all the health issues. Take care of that first! Second, what is the reason to drain and replace the water in your heat loops? I was always told that you do NOT want to exchange...

I have an 18v trim nailer, and it works great. Mine is a Ryobi. It really chews through batteries, and when the batteries start getting weak, it stops driving consistently. I would think that in a framing nailer, this would be amplified. Between my brother, My father, and I, we have about 20...

I have a recliner that Jax decided he didn't like the cover on, so he removed part of it for me. I said, eh I will just throw a blanket over it, its a really comfy chair. Wife said it's gotta go. She dragged it out in the yard one day while I was at work, so I dragged it into the shop and put it...

Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! GeddyT- there shouldn't be any shame in having your shop look like that while you are in the middle of all these projects. That's what you built it for! When you are done, then it would be a shame if the shop...

Since we are talking about lazy guard dogs,Here's my two, Jax and Jan, in their natural habitat, on the futon in my wife's office. also, Jax update: Last Wednesday, he started puking around 8pm. By the time we went to bed around 10:30, it was just fits of dry heaving with some foam. By...

Glad to see you posting and casting again Andy. In response to your question, google says: 11.3 pennies According to the U.S. Mint, one penny weighs 2.5 grams, which means 100 pennies weigh 250 grams. That equals 8.81 ounces, so there are 11.3 pennies per ounce.

Ichabod and Captain- Thanks for the concern. I just heard from the vet that he is cleared to come home. They did an ultrasound and found nothing. the xray last night had what looked like a mass in his stomach, but now they say it could have been a "shadow". He ate something that caused him to...
