WTF- the US general stuffs not bad for the money but thats crazy.  

I'll stick with my craftsman box.  I am going to the used furniture place tomorrow to hopefully pick up some used storage cabinets for the garage.  Think I am going to do a blue stripe at plug height as well, also still need to paint the trim

That's nice work!  :bc: 

I've been researching a dumbwaiter type system for my garage.  It started small at first but now, I think I can lift my sled up to my "man cave".  :lol: It's just time to build another house.

Yes hot water. It's the return loop from my pool room above. Doesn't cost me much to keep the garage at close to 60 all winter.  

Nice set up then.  I wouldn't own a house without a heated garage.  My attached three stall has in floor hot water heat.

got some cabinets,  weren't exactly what i was looking for but Home Depot was whoring them out.  I'll get some wall cabinets for Xmas and if I can convince the wife the monsters she watches don't need a little green tractor I have a piece of 3 inch thick wood from the neighbors barn I'll do a bench with.

Gentlemens,

Worth $102usd?

 

IDK.  I suppose if you were a tool and die or design engineer that still used pencils?

I remember my old man had all those types of gadgets around when I was a kid. Is it 1980 again?

i'm going room by room over the next 10 months cleaning and organizing and getting her ready for sale.  Got the wife down to 4 years before we move but that is down from never so my thought is next year the boy will go into an apartment so then we only have 1 coming home so i can move it up

I can't count the number of these chassis I have on one hand and it now takes up a majority of the second hand too...

I’ve got a buddy that puts them on pallets. He restores one a year but, that’s not making a dent anymore.  He just picked up another old Doo....they threw in the mice with it!  :lol:

Replaced the lug nuts on my F150 last night.  The ones it came with are complete garbage.  They could be anywhere from a 21 to 21.5 to 22 mm depending on how much they have cracked and swelled.  One stripped so I had to pound a socket on it.  About a half dozen got stuck in the socket and needed to be pounded out.

Not mine but they were like this.  Junk.
