    whats in your truck/car tool box?

    One day I had to borrow my MILs car 'cause I loaned my truck to my Bil --- about half way home from work (10pm) the car had a blowout and guess what the same BIL had borrowed her jack --- don't ask me why. Called a tow and waited 1 hour and 40 mins for the arrival. Well at least the spare was...

    whats in your truck/car tool box?

    AMEN to that!!!!!:beer: In reality I carry all the basics and a torque multiplier for lug nut removal. I hate it when I have to break lug nuts by hand and all of the bones in my hand seem to CRASH together when the nuts decide to give up resistance, Soory Lord but that HURTS. LOL

    Kitchen Cabinets in garage

    I mounted mine 24", it gave me room to put a small under cabinet fluorescent light, a clock, my sprinkler controls, and my cable remote box on the wall behind the work surface.

    [/I] I have never seen any light and have I ever had a leak. As far as hot - yes it is slightly hotter on a hot day as it is gray not bad tho, altho it is under a huge tree and does not get direct sun. It is made OF 2" thick interlocking blow molded hollow panels thus there is hardly room...

    Rooftop cable for clipping-in safety harness

    I am required to use fall arrest on a daily basis and it is very serious business. The wrong set up can be just as dangerous as falling to the ground. Be sure to use a 5 point harness and a self retracting hook up. With a rope you could easily cut your self in two or the very least break your...

    Raccoons

    no ricochet ---- well Maybe if you're lucky :D for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction -- that includes bird shot -- or the paint, rust, or dried garbage on the dumpster that is dislodged by some of the bird shot. Or maybe a broken ricocheted tooth from the victim in your...

    Raccoons

    I agree or use a live trap and the transport them to a location where they will do no harm to property. Maybe even leave them a little food so they can get a fair start in their new location. ;)

    E Bay ripoff

    If you imtentionally target those "retards " as you call them, then I think your point of view totally stinks. Ask an honest buck and expect an honest buck. HONESTY and Trustworthiness is more important than all of the money in the world. If a person has no self respect then he/she will...

    She got me art!

    I sure as heck wouldn't let her know I was reading her e-mail --- somehow you will just have to THANK her and hang it in a hopefully inconspicuous place. Good Luck with this one :beer: --- definately don't insult her or hurt her feelings or you'll get on the fathers day blacklist.

    15 Year Olds Shop Finish

    Lighting was mentioned earlier and I agree but in addition to the lighting, if you paint your finished walls white you will get far better reflection to enhance whatever lighting you choose. Good luck with your new shop.
