    This engine hoist worth anything

    Garage selling yesterday. One of the items I came across was this engine hoist. I don't know if it works, the seller didn't know either. He said $20 and you can take it home. Took up too much space at his house so he stuffed it in his trailer. I didn't take it home because I didn't have a...

    I can't resist the urge to pass this one up...

I checked my email earlier and an older lady replied back to one of my emails from 2 weeks ago when I was eagerly looking for a DP. She bought up some estates and was selling all the "junk"...

In my add, I also quoted that I...

    Another saved throw away from work!

    Nice little 2 speed 26" Maxxair to keep the air flow in the garage down here during these hot FL months. No refurb on this one...me and daughter took it apart for a good thorough cleaning and put it back together. Its a little noisy but not as bad as the real big ones ive seen.

    Koolaid...does this count?

    I ended up bringing home a old grinder from work that nobody took care of. Its a Dayton 4Z909B duel 8". It was loud, vibrated, abused, and beat to sh*t. I ordered a brand new belt sander with an attached wheel sander to take the grinder's place for the shop. When it finally came in, I had to...

    Garage paint....done! Floor's next

    Finally got a weekend to paint my garage. Its an 18 x 20. I searched and read on this site for hours and hours for hints, tips, tricks, and ideas. I decided on a solid color from top to bottom because lighting isn't an issue. I did a semigloss grey with flat black trim. And man was it a hot...
