I have the factory manual and it makes no mention at all either way. I think I used some form of permatex gasket cement on other cars in the past but that was lots of years ago and the brain is a bit cloudy these days!

Time to replace the water pump. Haven't done one in years and can't recall the proper procedure on using some form of gasket sealant with the supplied gasket or not. Have a new factory pump and gasket in the garage but don't feel like doing the job 2X because of a screw-up that causes it to...

Yeah I know but I just can't stop wagging my tail! I know what I'll be doing tomorrow morning......break out some Simple Green and get a bit of the dust and grease off so I can see the shine. Most of the wheels covers look to be pristine. You wouldn't believe the stuff they shipped off in a...

Even more stuff but not in the photo. Wooden wagon 50's lamp, grill panels, assorted hardware, old metal desktop Hunter fan and more. The hardware cabinet is serious heavy durt and in great shape as is the large metal cabinet with ball bearing draw slides. My favorite is the heavy-*** base...

If there's a better way to spend a day I sure as heck don't know of it. Went to an estate/garage/shop sale today and packed my truck to the max with lots & lots of goodies at a great price. Unbelievable stuff, 60 years worth of auto related and machine shop equipemnt starting from 30's and up...

Man that floor sure looks nice. Gives me some inspiration to put down my racedeck......and boy do I need inspiration as I bought my tiles almost 2 years ago. All 19 boxes still sitting in the corner calling out my name! Dang work and kids keep me way busy, busy, busy!! Great looking floor.

Excellent point on the ice guards if you're in a climate that gets any amount of snow. I went with 6" industrial gutters on my metal roof as well as 2 rows of snow guards staggering each row. No snow guards and say goodbye to those nice new gutters once the heavy snow/ice slides down that metal...

I've got 2 liftmaster 3800's with the same remote openers hardwired as well. The remotes are mounted directly next to each other on the wall next to the man door and I have the exact same problem. Have to admit I feel better knowing I have company as far as activating the lights.....sure is...

Trying to find a low cost system to install in a second property that will notify me via email/text of low temperature and/or power outage. No phone line at the property, just internet cable service. Don't want a monitoring system/company that charges a monthly fee. Hoping for a fairly simple...

This man obviously knows his pizza. Two of the best and like he said, a stone throw away from each other. I'm leaning towards Pepe's. Now if we be talking NYC pizza.....let's stop by John's in the village or on W. 44th Street. That's some real nice brick oven pizza coming out of those ovens!!

Good deal, thanks man these look perfect!

This has me thinking, black iron pipe that I have left over from a propane project may be an idea here as well.

I agree, if they want in bad enough they will get in. My goal is to make it a bit more difficult so they go elsewhere. As you can see, I did go to a heavy duty hinge on the double windows and will swap out the smaller hinges on the single windows as well. Problem is the side with the dbl windows...

Jaguar, that bad boy is from a Rolls. Alarm system will come one day as I need to figure that out as well. No phone or internet as the garage is across the road from the house.

That has been my initial plan but my cop buddy tells me to use channel iron or something other than 2x4 as wood is easy to defeat. I pointed out to him that the shutters are made of wood.....he became very quiet!!!

Ok guys, finished building/installing my interior window shutters and now I need some ideas on how to secure them so I can keep the bad guys out.....or at least make it more difficult for them to get in. Don't want to make it to complicated at I still want it to be simple to open them up when...

Glad to hear that. My research turns up mostly good stuff. Weak spot is the condensate discharge can freeze causing problems. Heat tape down the condensate seems like the answer. Will probably go this way.

Anybody have any experience with a Heil High Efficiency gas furnace. Considering installing a 75K propane fed unit in the attic space (kneewall) of the garage (850 sq ft). Any thoughts?

Tom 20m-No formal plans, so to speak. Pole barn construction with posts (3- 2x6 lam posts) every 8'. Roof trusses are 24" on center. Went with metal roof VS. conventional. Insulated R19 walls and R38 roof. 4" concrete slab @ 3500psi, 4 post lift is on dream list for the future.

Used 1x4 batts to cover the seams of the plywood and compound over the screw heads. I'm happy with the overall look, no cracks and it's been several months. Sanded down the face of the plywood with my orbital before priming. One coat of primer and one color coat. Started on the loft area but...
