lol, reading it over is quite humerous.

It goes from talking about how to repair an ice-box refrigerator, to an article about how to construct an asbestos soldering pad!

I especially like the 'turntable for a light car' tip! In the small garage addition I'm planning I was worried about how to turn cars around...think I'll use that old tip!
