    Securing a post between floor & ceiling?

    OK, ok, ok...I know I'm gonna get sheet for posting this question on a garage forum but...the little lady wants a "cat condo" and she doesn't like anything that's commercially available. My idea is to start with a 4x4 post between the floor and ceiling (kinda like a kitty stripper pole) and add...

    Drawer storage bins...anyone know where to get 'em?

    There's someone selling them on E-Bay, but the price is pretty high (in my opinion). I need a bunch. :headscrat

    PENCO Metal Hardware/Parts 12-Drawer Storage Units

    Manufactured by PENCO right here in the USA (www.pencoproducts.com). Original cost was about $400/ea. Units are designed to be stackable, with bolt-holes on top/bottom/sides.

    Best "mid-price" power washer?

    I'm in the market for a new (electric) power washer. A friend had long-termed me his unit...a "cheapie" (Costco?) which works OK, but I don't see it holding up with extended use (the soap dispenser is already inoperable and the on/off switch has a mind of its' own). I'm not doing any heavy...

    Anyone near Concord, MA?

    Found this on E-Bay...too bad it's "local pick-up only" :( Someone nearby will get themselves a nice cabinet! http://cgi.ebay.com/Antique-Hardware-Store-Drawers-/230588655987?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b027a973
