Thank you Cruiser, my life is now much richer and my outlook is expanded. :beer: So, did you ever reply to some one who asked you what you did with "I make beaches"?

We had a lady try to use her Hoover to do that. Her old car had gas in it and the car she was using was out. She now needs a new vacuum, the old car suffered a sudden, and drastic, devaluation and she still needs gas for the car she's using. On the up side, the firemen were laughing...

As in "Wow, I didn't know I had that. Now I don't have to go buy it." :bounce: Not like "Hey, I'll borrow the neighbor's (fill-in-the-blank)..." or, "You mean if I give you all my information and agree to let you bill my credit card every month for a service I don't want unless I can...

I cleared out my barn last summer into a tent so that I could get the floor poured. I had collected a bunch of **** in the barn over the years since I had it built and, since it was a dirt floored mess, I had never been able to sort and organize my "treasures". Over time I had accumulated a...

I had two thoughts reading this: 1) How long will it be before a rain storm washes his house and car down the mountain? No more problem for the neighbors then, right? :lol_hitti 2) This is what passes for entertainment for the well off. They buy tony houses in "nice" neighborhoods and go...

I just had this issue a couple weeks ago when I built mine. What I did was measure from my palm, held horizontal to the ground, to the floor with my elbows slightly bent, arms just in front of me like I was at a counter. I figured that would allow me to press down comfortably on something...

You offered up the teaser, not Moose. Pray, tell us of this skinny-dipping dozer. You can keep any stories of your Irish Curse to yourself though. :spit:

Yes we are. I was just making the broader point that it isn't just the Chinese government that immunizes themselves and we need to keep in mind the serious downside of allowing government to get in the business of providing manufacturing (GM, et al.) and heath care. At least when a...

You can't sue the US government, or most of the states, without their permission first... It is awful hard to use the power of government to keep manufacturers and service providers honest when they are the government. That is a serious drawback of socialism that never seems to get mentioned...

I can't say that the pictures surprised me in the least. If you are aware of the history of manufacturing in communist (Yes, communist.) countries, you would know that one of the hallmarks is rampant environmental destruction. The Soviet Union made an awful mess of Russia and its slave states...

Two options, the first as you suggest: Plumb it so that any water in the line drains completely out by gravity, the end of the line elevated above the ground a couple of inches. Use black line outside to take advantage of the suns heat to keep the pipe from getting cold enough to freeze the...

One bite at a time! :thumbup:

I've been thinking about this as well. Keep us posted.

Wow. I've worked nights my entire adult life, except when the Army kidnaps me. I've never had a problem sleeping in the daylight. I know a lot of guys that fight it and they do suffer... Especially if the other half just can't deal with the lifestyle and they keep making demands on the...

I have GOT TO party with you guys! :beer:

An idea that I read about a while ago was to cord your old 12-14 volt battery powered drill and hook it to a car battery to keep it useful after the original battery craps out and is too expensive to replace. I like the idea of replacing the cells in the battery case, I have a 20 year old B&D...

For bases on my temporary jack posts I use these railroad rail plates. The prior owner of my house picked some up somewhere and they work fine. The above link is for clarification only, I have no idea if they are a good source of them. The minimum order is only 10K pieces, BTW. :spit:

In no way am I going to claim that I have mastered the following. But, I present it as something to think about and aspire to. All the preceding advice everyone has given assumes that you already have a "place" for your stuff. That is the first thing you need to figure out: Where does stuff...

Roger. The current sale ends 25 Feb 10. I should have mentioned that.

Got them and they are set up. Used a pickup and a trailer to bring them home. The top chest in the bed of the truck and the bottom chest in the trailer. Since the trailer is low to the ground, it was easy to get off without damage (to us or the chest). After we got it unpacked, we got rid of...
