So...If asphalt roofing is getting expensive, are there other better alternatives that now make economic sense to choose? Terra Cotta (spanish) tiles? Rhino Lining?

I say gold primarily because it's a pain getting the nice shiny silver/chrome cleaned up in the interior of sockets (I do a lot of offroad truck work). I could just do a reasonable job of cleaning the sockets' interiors; it's still look pretty good and I can call it a day..until tomorrow when I...

I just got this off craigslist. I don't see any obvious labels with a model number, but will take another look. This was represented as a 7000 lb lift. The Challenger website seems to have only their new models listed. Paid $800 plus $100 to buddy to retrieve it. Does anyone know about this...

You must REALLY trust that accordian wall. You will still get dust and grit ALL OVER your relax room the first (and every) time you do any sanding or grinding. Voice of experience. Hope yours turns out better.

Repair shop would have installed completely new engine and accessories - none of this weld and heli-coil ****. Otherwise the managers next of kin would be the ones to send 'two HUGE guy round to' my house.

Wow! Lots of great responses. Thanks! What benefits would a 4-stroke model give over a 2 stroke model?

I can't find my old bottom of the line "cheap bastage" trimmer. I don't remember throwing it away, but its not to be found. :confused: So.... Who makes a 'good bang for the buck' weed whacker? I looked at line trimmers at Tractor Supply and the non-junk ones were $200 and more. Whiskey...

Gosh you want a big bribe. Well, since I'm already pouring cement...

Hmmm... Must be something to do with contractors expecting to get rich overnight, every night that drives homeowners to try and do the work themselves. Furthermore, considering the generally piss poor quality work done by contractors, I can't really blame them. What you have described is an...

Unfortunately for me, the dogs chew each others collars off regularly, so the invisible fence isn't a great option. I really like the hog panel idea; I actually have a couple of these but didn't think of a horizontal installation. I just bought an electric fence from Tractor Supply. I guess I...

I need a little advice on yard fencing before I get started on rebuilding my detached garage that burned a couple years ago. My property has a 6-foot vinyl (plastic) privacy fence enclosing the backyard. Length is approx. 450 feet and encloses probably 1/2 acre. It was there when I bought...

I have a 24' x 24' area (privacy) fenced on 3 sides that I converted into a shed/workshed this summer; to temporarily replace my burned down garage. First, I closed the 4th side with privacy fence (& gate/door). Then I planted a couple posts in the middle and used 2x10's and 2x4's to create a...

Also, what the heck are "Robertson" screwdrivers, and what are they used for/on? #1 and #2 tips. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00941141000P?keyword=robertson&vName=Tools&cName=Hand+Tools%2C+General+Purpose&sName=Screwdrivers

Bought one of the $59.99 Craftsman Club torque wrenches tonight and got an additional $5 off from the coupon. Also bought a couple screwdrivers for about 31 cents each. Fellow at the counter said he got his *** chewed for taking these a couple days ago, but didn't really balk a lot seeing as...

I need a good 1/2 drive torque wrench for working on my trucks, Would also like a decent light duty (lower torque range) wrench, too. Are any of the wrenches on the new Craftsman Club flier worth the price?

How about a Monorail?

You want the 10' door for the F250, otherwise 8.5' door with something in the truck bed = something knocked out of the truck bed going into the garage. You can do attic trusses over left and central bays, then scissor over the right bay - plenty of height for the lift - the scissors add a lot...

:soapbox: :soapbox: Got the "field manual" in the mail this weekend. What a load of ****. Out of date with hand scribbled notes, deletions, and highlighting. Drawings are tiny and not relevant for the most part. Information is sketchy and vague; obtuse at best. If they put this junk on...

Flipper, I'm moving this from PM to the thread so others can chime in or perhaps glean some bits of knowledge from it. It depends on the doors you use: the tilt-up frames can be spaced MAX of 16' apart. I would go 14' max personally, and standard is 10'. The wider you go, the heavier duty...

Well, despite knowing enough to know that I don't know nearly enough to know what I'm doing... I went ahead and ordered about 1200# of steel thingies and other assorted bits from SocketSystems.com today. We'll see just what the mysterious "Field Manual" has to say when it arrives sometime this...
