Most sanders exhaust just below or above where the air line connects. One trick I have seen with the D/A is to take a 6ft lenght of air hose with a coupler one one end and connect this to the sander. Then take large dia. piece of thin wall flexable hose or tube, sortta like shrink wrap. and put...

Genie lifts are used mostly in sound and lighting production to raise and hold light truss. fly speaker cabinets, etc. Some have no "forks" with 4 legs no wheels and use attachments on the top to hold truss etc. The bigger ones, for more weight and height are called super genies. Bill

Vermaraj nailed it. I would do my marketing to new homes and devlopments. Garage organization is becoming hot now, and in my area most of the starter and midlevel new home builder don't even paint or in some cases compleatly drywall the garages to save $$$. First thing I see alot of folks do is...

One more thing to add is that most big stores will supply the blow machine for free when you buy x amount of insulation

You should have gone down to one of the new housing devlopments in your area and find the drywallers then struck up a deal. Most love side work especially when paid in cash. Davy Crokett to Jim Bowie at the alamo. Damnit Jim we can't let em get in. They will have this place sheetrocked in 15 min.

They don't shoot stain on fences worth a damn either. Waste too much stain and we could go faster brushing it on to top it off. You had to back brush what was shot out of the sprayer to get a good even coverage. Most pros I have seen back roll the paint on the final coat even when useing the...

You can sleep in your truck but you can't drive your house.

A second for Olympia used it on our fence and it lasted around 7 years, just recoated this summer. Bill

Are you looking for an aid to help you park in a certain spot or something to protect the car once it's in position?

The vapor barrier needs to be on the heated side of the insulation, In a floor install that meen the paper face or plastic sheet should be aginst the sub floor. In your case I would use 1 1/2" ridged foam boards., since your spacing is 12" you'll have to cut 24" fiberglass batts in half to work...

very good, quality made. I have an old one thats been in use for over 23 years now. It's the only one with a low enough profile in the down position to fit under an Austin Healy 3000 yet still raises higher than most new jacks. Bill

Bottom sensors or not you should ALLWAYS CHECK THE REVERSE SENSOR and make sure it is working properly. No door should be able to splinter a rake handle or chrush a red wagon!!!! Use an empty plastic 2 liter soda bottle with the lid on to set the sensitivity. one last note make sure the beam...

Sounds like you did it right. Sure is nice when you have a buddy in the biz. I'm a cheap #@$ so we used 3/4 copper for our lines at the shop.

4x8 sheets of peg board hung in various locations will help, along with other "stuff" along and hung on the walls. ie tool chest work benches storage shelves, cars etc. anything to keep the sound from bouncing around. Bill

Why jack it up unless you want more head room for a lift. You could jut cut out a couple feet of wall from the bottom up, new treated bottom plate and block it in, You could do it in sections and support the roof with temp bracing inside. None of your door openings will change and you can go up...

One trick you can use on steep roofs that noone mentioned is to get a couple of old foam chair or couch cushions. You can sit on them and not burn your ars, and you can use them to stand on on steep pitches without sliding. I didn't believe it till my roofing buddy showed me. Around here most...

last spot it was used

Jeans and T shirts or elastic waist shorts and t's when it's hot. Never wear a beltand if I have jeans on I'll pull out my shirt to cover the snaps/buttons to keep from scratching anything. Gloves and a long ankle lenght leather apron I made when grinding or welding in shorts. Bill

ditto what justinmc said. we have several here that sell used office eqp.

I used 1/2 in my basement. one half is a grage the other is a finished office/fun space. Web trusses on 24 centers with a 30 foot span. I ran 1x4x3/4 pine screwed to the bottoms of the trusses at a right angle on to their span on 24 centers.. Finished smooth. No sags no cracks in 4 years with...
