    1000 Sq Ft Retirement Home

    I've been following your journey. Great news on the trusses. I'm a bit older than you; I now consider the work, and the chances of me winding up in the hospital if I do it. It's sometimes hard for me to spend money to have someone else do work that I previously wouldn't have thought about...

    Downsizing & Tools

    I really agree with this post and wish someone had given me this advice before our move from Illinois to Texas. I'm so glad I brought all my tools, absolutely no regrets. Looking back, I'm sure my wife would have preferred to update all the home furniture, bringing only items with sentimental...

    Downsizing & Tools

    Also something to think about if you rent a truck.....compare the load capacities of different rental trucks such as Penske, U-Haul, Budget etc. Some are easier to load, or some have lift gates. When I moved my tools, I'm pretty sure I was overloaded on a U-Haul. I thought the ramp, and...

    Removing Fasteners with Over-sized Slots

    You want a Vessel 5700WP faucet driver. Haven't found a seller here in the US, but you can order from Amazon Japan or on the bay. I had it in my amazon.co.jp basket and was adding other small items to get the shipping down, but then Amazon has apparently changed how they compute their...

    Zylis vice

    I remember seeing them hawked at the state fair years ago. At the time, I wanted one badly but wouldn't spend the money.

    I need a recommendation for a welding helmet

    Can you share where? I had been looking a year or two ago and could buy for that price, but it seems I can't find them anywhere that price now. Thanks.

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I see that Home Depot has a sale on their Milwaukee shirts. I typically wear either Duluth or Carhartt. How do the Milwaukee compare? Fit and longevity? Thanks.

    Signed the papers. 28X64x10

    My shop is about 200 feet from the meter. I paid about $7000 eight years ago to upgrade my service from 200 amp to 400 amp (I think it's actually a 320 amp loop). $2000 of the 7000 was for a rock saw to trench through our rocky "soil". Placed a 200 amp panel in the shop and two temporary...

    We had a '57, 4 door hardtop when i was a kid. I think it might have been the first new car my Dad bought. Great memories.

    Lock Lube

    I started using this 3 in 1 after someone here recommended it. Don't use it often, but have been pleased so far.

    Downsizing - need some plywoods shelves cut to size - Lowes or HD

    I'm older, and have a hard time wrangling bigger pieces. I've never had good luck at the box stores with accurate cuts. Tried it and it's not worth the aggravation. Now, I just have them cut slightly oversize, knowing I'll have enough wood to precision cut to the exact size when I get home.

    HF Icon toolbox

    I would buy one for that price if I could find it. I need to start downsizing. I'm at that point in life where I'm not taking on any big projects, but I still want to keep basics for minor issues that come up.
