hi Karel, i'm a newbie as well. seem to be a lot of good folks on here. I don't know what a Nissan Patrol is, will have to google it. Too old for mc now although had a couple over the years. I enjoy cars and anything with an engine in it except maybe boats. I do some woodworking, built a couple...

morning jc. is that NYC? :)

hi hammer, good to hear from you. I have a few whitworth tools so I won't be asking to borrow any. Have a '73 MGB. I have a few US $, not many though, so I guess were good with that too:) Enjoy the company.

'morning. nice work. I hear you with the NY not C. This is a good place to learn stuff and meet some good people, although virtual (kinda).

Stray hungry female cat showed up and took up residence under my garage. It's a miracle! :dunno:

Hi EM, your barn sounds like mine, 30x40 and full of stuff. I too am retired and wonder sometimes if I'll ever get it all done. Lot of good stuff here.

yep. The interior is shot and I leave windows open to keep air flow through there. The original owner was a cigar smoker and apparently wasn't careful with the ashes, front and rear seats and carpets need replacing. I have put the carpets in and have the new foam and seat covers stored inside...

Moosehill - like the cleat system Went out to my barn and found this '63. Been sitting there waiting for quite a while. Thought maybe Chip Foose would find it back when they were Overhaulin. Guess not. It is a pretty sound car, has never been out in the snow and has about 26k. Not many of the...

My nephew brought his F-150 4x4 over with right rear wheel getting hot and a vibration. Replaced caliper (broken piston caused binding) and found front Ujoint in front wheel drive train was ready to come apart. All better and a happy nephew. Gives me a good feeling to help the kids out. They are...

I'd go with the 60gal in a heartbeat. I also have a 2 1/2 gal for use with my nailers, air brush, putting air in tires, etc not in reach of the 60. Had a 30gal for several years and found that I would spend time waiting for air. I'm just a hobby type of mechanic, carpenter but find myself using...

evening jawesy, the floor heat is a good idea. couple friends have it in their garages and it really does a nice job. my barn is 30'x40' and I heat a part of it with an oil furnace. I only have 10' ceilings and planning on a mid lift next spring. There are so many things in GJ that I'm sure...

Good evening, sounds like a nice garage/shop. I had friend who lived outside of Farmington, Mo. Had been out to see them several times over the years, also to Branson a few times. There are so many ideas and builds here it'll drive you nuts. I like to read of the things people are doing. I have...

I do everything at my place except the furnace which is oil. I have it cleaned and serviced every year. Just had it done Thursday, new filter, nozzle, pressure test, efficiency test, cleaned and checked associated parts etc. $111.70. My first furnace was a Utica boiler, contractor's model when I...

good timing.

Hi Slim, I like 53 Fords, really like flatheads, owned a few over the years. Like small block chevys but don't have either now and mixed emotions about putting them in Fords. I assume yours is still a flathead?

I had a light similar to the HD you are thinking about in our washroom and wasn't bright enough. I think the globes color cut the light down. About 5-6 yrs ago I replaced it with a Commercial Electric (mfg) flush mount fixture. It is app 16" dia, white w/white globe. Light is provided by a 55...

Evening Scar, I hate being a Newbe/junior member but have to earn the stripes. At my stage in life not sure if I can make senior member. Don't know just when that happens. I have a garage but went many years without one. Having one is better. Keep smiling and enjoy the ride.

Hi Sarge, I've just recently registered. Had a longtime friend who lived in Farmington, Mo area. He died just a year ago today, buried up at Jefferson Barracks. Been to Branson a few times. Anyway, what size foundation you got down? I never had a scooter, have a 30x40 garage, bet a bunch of them...

What dimension are the purlins and the posts? The posts and rafters appear to be 12'on ctr? I built mine (30x40x10) about 13 yrs ago and have enjoyed it every day I'm home. I built my garage with truss rafters 4'on center and used 2x4 purlins. When I built it I did not vent the ridge as I was...
