I mentioned recently on here that I'd installed a new used Challenger CL10 lift. The challenger manual said to use their frame adapters for vehicles with frames. Since all mine have solid frames I ordered a set of 4. Model number 10318 from Affordable Automotive Equipment, Inc...

Just installed a new to me 2-post Challenger CL10 lift this weekend that was believe it or not given to me. :rocker: I have a Ford Expedition, a 2011 Toyota Tundra and a '76 FJ40 Land Cruiser that will all be on the lift at least once. How do I determine what I need to pick em up? The lift...

I wanted to put up some rabbit cages along the north wall of my garage. I've got hardy planks running lengthwise back there. I bought some old old fiberglass corrugated panels at a yard sale and will overlap two of them to form the roof over the rabbit cages. The cages I've got currently I...

I hit up a yard sale and got a Bosch CS20 circular saw for 15 bucks. Saw the plug looked a little burnt but didn't realize quite how bad. When I tried to plug in a cord I bent back the end. I took it apart and found a replacement on the bosch website for $2.20 but after shipping it's 10...

I've been interested in getting some spray in insulation from one of the box stores. For 2000 sqft it seems like it'd be about $800 for the bags. My wife was concerned with me doing it because of the future problems coming up if there is ever a need for AC or electrical work in the attic...

So my wife just emails me and says she was trying to get the mower outta the garage while the kiddo was asleep. The mover hit the weed wacker, the weedwacker hit the bucket, the oil spilled out. It was near the garage door and has spilled inside. Maybe about 15sq ft she says. We will see...

Going on vacation soon to Daytona and they have a pick and pull run by LKQ near the Speedway. I did the Speedway driving experience there earlier this year but I may be more excited about the trip to the junkyard. I won't have room to take a wheelbarrow or anything but what else should I know...

I've got some sheets of plywood left over from projects and noticed last night they've got some green fuzz growing on them. I guess that's mold and not mildew? They're leaning against the wall that's insulated and covered in T-111. Is this just what happens in Florida or what? Should they...

I'm told it has a slight oil leak and the sight glass is broken. What's a sight glass? I'm not familiar. The starting bid is $300 right now. They say it weights about 500 pounds and is on a pallet. I don't suppose that could just be hauled home on a 4x8 expanded metal trailer could it? Or...

"I also have a very extensive set of sockets in metric and SAE, six point and twelve point in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch. All of the sockets are in "Hansen" organizers." Called the guy and he said they're all craftsman. Now I've pretty much got my hansen organizers filled but not necessarily with...

So lets say you were able to win this for the price of a big unit at harbor freight? Not saying I will, but it's down the street from me and ya never know. It's water based and heated with a 47gal tank and runs on 220v. So besides the higher costs to purchase the solvent what's the downsides...

I'm planning on buying a 12g aluminum gas tank off of Craigslist tonight. I went by and looked at it this morning. The owner used to own a business delivering fuel oil up north so I assume he knows a lot about storage tanks. He hooked the pump up to 12v and showed me than it worked. He has...

I had borrowed my father-in-law's Dewalt angle grinder for a while and could use a wire wheel on it, although the wheel kind of dug into the guard when it ran, it at least would work. I returned his and got a 4.5" Craftsman from them for Christmas. But the guard is too small to get the wheel...

When my wife removed the coupon most of the back of it was ruined and I was thinking about the titanium set someone has mentioned on here. Any help?

It's the deal of the day today. For $100, it's $200 off. Might have to finally try it out. :drool:

I stopped out at the house a few minutes ago and the guys were out there on their stilts installing the ceiling insulation. I looked outside at the soffits and saw the rafter vents pretty much pushed all the way down towards the edge of the roof. Would the be preferrable to having them back 6"...

My grandfather gave me a tool the other day and asked me what it was. The guy put together a '40s Mercedes from boxes back in the day but for some reason was thinking this thing was a ruler. It's an old Stanley he said was owned by his father. It's got a square wooden handle, and what looks...

They're putting the trusses on the house and detached garage today. Good stuff. Was asked what material I want on the walls in the detached garage. I know I don't want drywall. It's 24x30x12. Masonite and t111 were suggested to me today. Pros and cons of each? What are the other names...
