Did you try sears? They list it for $35. Double check the model nuber, I did a quick search. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/69063/0009/113

Before you do anything, move the surface water away from the house. Make sure the grade is sloped away from the house and definitely add gutters and pipe the water away. Water against the foundation can cause far more serious problems over time. My parent's house basment walls are bowing in...

Lowes had 60 lb bags on sale two weeks ago , and when you figured by the pound the concrete was cheaper in 60 lb than the 80 pound. Home Depot had a special on 60 lb too.

Why not install two exterior faucets, one hot, one cold, and connect them with a washing maching "y" hose? The faucets are around $7 each and the hose is around $6. Put shut off inside as suggested before in case of freezing temps.

I like Deft Clear Wood Finish Brushing Lacquer. 30 minutes to dry and no sanding between coats. Also easy to touch up. Use plenty of ventalation though. I have it on the beaded paneling and trim in my unheated garage and it has held up well so far (1 year +).

If you are doing woodworking, and do not plan to pull in vehicles, have you considered floor joists and a wood floor? It may not be a good idea for a workshop, but wood seems easier on the legs than concrete.

Pass & Seymour/Legrand did make them in Greensboro, NC. I think they moved production somewhere else, not sure if to another USA location or overseas. It was a heavily automated assembly line, there was a video on DIY once showing the plant.

A file only cuts on the push stroke. You can quickly dull it pulling back on it. Always lift on the return stroke. Another option would be to have a machine shop broach the keyway if it is in a through hole. Shouldn't take them more than a few minuites or be very expensive to do. Here is a...

What about something like this instead of vinegar? I found it at Lowes. I think it would stop the flash rust.

What about a 6ft double entry door. Will close up the tightest, unless 6 feet is too small.

You will probably have to find a donor saw or one that has been parted out on ebay. Don't forget Craigslist.

We sent a student to the ER once when he hit two hammer faces together and one of them exploded. He was pulling a nail. Shrapnel went deep into his arm. Does it happen often? No. Can it happen? Yes.

My brother and I built one like this and it works great. Only change is we would have used cast iron wheels instead of rubber.

Have you considered a ships ladder or a ser of alternating tread stairs?

Also consider beaded plywood. I used plytanium from Georgia Pacific. It is shiplaped to hide the seams. I nailed it with an air brad nailer and finished with two coats of clear laquer. Trim is southern yellow pine, also finished natural.

Does the fan also have manual speed control chain/switch ? Might slow it down with it.

My father built houses for years without a drywall lift. He and his brother did everything themselves. The only subed out the hvac. The had two extra tall sawhorses that got the drywall to within a couple of inches of the ceiling. Then they had two "deadmen" to push it up. They were basicly...
