When reducing paint- how do you know when it's right or not?

Yep. Plywood- sheets of veneered wood glued and pressed together in layers. Ususally 4-7 layers. OSB- otherwise known as chip board. Made of glued and pressed together chips of wood. Particle board. Basicaly sawdust glued and pressed into sheets. Mainly used in counter tops.

Went to around 10 pawn shops today. Ened up with only 4 Disney movies. Win some, lose some. All the shops I go to pick through the loose stuff pretty well and sell the good stuff on it's own. The junk boxes are only full of junk.

I hate pegboard. But unfortunately it is somewhat of a must. Every damn time I take something off the peg falls out. I know there are better pegs out there but I still hate the stuff.

Everytime I go out there I try to cleansomething. A little at a time is always easier than all at once. Except for sweeping.... I seem to do that everytime I go out there. I just bought a DeWalt cordless handheld vac and absolutely love it. I can walk around and vac off all the power tools...

Went out today and tried to recreat what was going on last night. No buzz. I did reset the breaker last night and maybe that was the trick.

Yeah but you wouldn't go to a car lot and pay sticker price would you?? Ya gotta wheel and deal with them. That's part of the fun of pawn shops.

I'm an auction freak but this year was terrible. There were none.

Serious?? What kinds of stuff do you find??

I'm not even sure if it was that circut. But I had nothing else in the shop on, so that's how I came to the conclusion that it was that one. But who knows...

nine 2 tub fixtures for a total of eighteen 8' bulbs. I'm not sure what type of bulbs. Got them at home depot if that tells ya anything. I think they are the ones everyone says not to buy.

The sticker price on the vac was $75. Noooo way. Offered the guy $45 and he took it. Remember. Pawn shops buy their stuff ridiculously cheap. So there's room to negotiate.

Last night as I was leaving my shop, ready to turn out the lights, I noticed a buzzing sound coming from the service panel.:shocking: WTF could it be from?? The only thing I was doing different is I had the interior lights on as well as the exterior lights on. Both on same circuit. First...

I had a good day in the Minneapolis, ST. Paul area yesterday. 1/2" drive impact. Dang near new. Two 18 volt XRP batteries + charger and case. $90. I think they retail around $200+. [/url][/IMG] DeWalt cordless hand held vacumm. Really good shape. $45 [/url][/IMG] And this...

I wish to hell I had a bathroom in there. But it is a lonnnng way from the shed to my sewer system. And I'm not sure the slope would even be enough over that distance. Friend of mine put in a bathroom on a shop addition, and ran a pipe into a buried 55 gal drum with rock in it and holes...

I use used grocery bags in the 5 gallon bucket. Then put some floor dry in the bag. At the end of the day if they've used it I take the bag out, tie it up, and throw it in the trash. Hell... if it gets cold enough....... I might take a **** in it.:scared:

Not a sink but.... Anyone have kids (especially little girls) that like to come out in the shop but need to go to the bathroom every five minutes? I do. And then I have to dress them back up and bring them 150' to the house. Well... not anymore. [/url][/IMG]

Well.......... I missed it. Gotta be quick to react to craigslist ads I guess.

I missed it by a matter of minutes. My first call to him was for info. I didn't know at the time when I'd be able to go see it cause the wife was at work and I was watching the kids. A few minutes later my wife comes home and I call the guy right away. He already had someone else coming...
