Gosh, I don't know, but will check it out. Thanks for the tip and searching "FVIR" now on the web.

Gosh and all I want is a new pick-up truck. I must redo some goal setting :dunno:

My pilot light keeps going out every few weeks. The hot water heater has been in the same place since the house has been built. The current water heater is several years old and has not exhibited any problems, but over the last few months the pilot light has been going out every few weeks...

Yep, same thing happened to me. My machine is clean.

Thanks guys. On a more serious note, I do have some serious garage plans, which is why I am here. Right now we are working on the house. We have just had the interior redone with paint and carpet. We have had Gorell double-paned windows installed throughout (I love those windows!), painted...

I was referred here by a motorcycle board, and then referred again by IMBOC.com (a board dedicated to the Mustang Bullitt edition cars). I think car and bike specific sections would kinda detract from the basis of this forum. I really need help with my garage and I know I will get that help...

Dude, I like my wife having my balls. Like I said earlier, the *** is incredible. Didn't your dad ever explain to you that in order to get good *****, you kinda have to be a ***** :bounce:

I think you might be correct. Z

Snobbery has moved into the machinist ranks? :wtf: We have come a long way. My dad and uncle were both machinists. My dad owned his own shop. My uncle worked in a shop and had his own shop in his garage where he would turn metal after his regular machinist job. All this was back in Los...

Lol! :bounce: You guys crack me up. Her and I have been stuck with each other since high school and are now 50-somethings. Guess I am stuck. But there is always hope! Z

I have said that the only thing that should hang in the garage is my mesh textile motorcycle suit. I get met with looks of disbelief when I say this :wtf: Z

Yeppers. Caught her one time getting ready to leave without having opened the garage door. She (the mother-in-law) is an old country gal. Didn't even have indoor plumbing when she was a kid, much less garages. I don't think they had trains when she was young either.

These are commercial storage units. The first one is ours, the second one is for our son. He's an army officer so we are keeping his stuff for him until the wars are over. Yes, we have a lot of stuff, but a lot of it has sentimental value. My wife would like us to be buried with all our...

My hero! What a great garage! And what a great skirt-chasing set of wheels! :thumbup:

Also, I learned the hard way that ceiling sheet rock is thicker than wall sheet rock. This is for fire prevention. It was in the book. However, I skipped that reading option and took the "two trips to the hardware store" option instead to get the right sized patch regarding thickness. We...

This looks great! Do you have floor plan you can post? I'd like to see a bird's eye view that also shows the apartment plan.

I thought the repair to be successful, but I still hate my garage and have not decided if I am yet worthy to hang out with you guys. Here is a typical picture of my garage, which changes on a regualar basis depending on invaders. Notice the Total Gym. She demanded I purchase it. It hardly...

Here's the crater hole in the ceiling again. Here is the hole after I square it and dress it. Notice that I don't have any support to screw in the patch. So I learned that I would have to screw in some wood strips. The book explained it nicely. Here with the woods strips. And now...

I squared off some lines and created a square hole around the crater hole. Fortunately there were supports located behind the crater hole. I was able to buy patch board at Home Depot and other stuff needed like joint compound, mesh tape, putty knives, etc. Here's the hole after some prep...
