Not sure if this outfit still does, but, they used to build pre hung vault doors in steel frames for concrete walled vaults. http://halls-safe.com/

Probably will do one more flip as I have bought some 3/8 to 1/2 acre lots with roll outs and plan on building a few spec homes. Architect is finalizing plans/blueprints for three models. They should be through plan check in two counties in abut 3 to 4 months. Of course these houses will have...

Took an offer for $290,000.00 in 2 days and it is now pending. Buyer has conventional loan and it should close in 24 days. If is does, it will be just in time for end of year. Here's a parting photo shot.

I know this is quite a bit more than a garage but here it is. House has a built in pool which the original wood deck was dry rotted out so we wrecked it out we will be replacing it with a concrete patio. Won't be buying another house to flip with a pool as they are not...

They sure have, and it's a total shame, but I reload my own and have a lot of yet to be used components and powder that I have bought before 2008. I hear a lot of folks are stockpiling ammunition now and will pay crazy prices for it. I am fortunate to be skating by on the cheap for ammunition in...

Sold the last boat I owned 14 years ago. Must be a glutton for punishment buying another boat after all this time. Put a few $$$ in this boat so far with new Lowrance GPS and sonar, having a anchor roller with a windlass and anchor pulpet installed this winter all polished stainless steel...

Just got an e-mail from the forum that wanted me to update you all on what I've been doing. I've been mostly been keeping busy with the company I own, last year I started flipping house to make more return than I am getting from the banks and conservative stock portfolios (it's working...

I've used MC and metal boxes for wireing garages that were unfinished or "bare stud". A bit of commercial wireing overkill but eliminates romex wired to open studs.

Have a under counter wine cooler fridge which can hold soda pop as well as beer bottles and cans. Don't know where the optional shelving came from for cans and non wine bottles but came with the house and this is what we have. It is kind of cool.:cool...

Yeah it does cut it but for new construction bedrooms have to have GFIC breakers according to the latest NEC code. I mean you can multiple outlets past a GFIC outlet and be safe according to code. The problem with a GFIC breaker in the main panel and outlets with distance past these breakers is...

Probably larger than that:D In kitchens now aside from the required dedicated outlets of the past you have to wire in 2 or 3 appliance outlets. The one that really gets me now is that the bedroom outlets have to be on GFIC breakers. The bedroom thing with the GFIC breaker is absurd to me...

What it usually means by the newer (around 2003 and up) NEC code, is that these outlets are not dedicated outlets or a single outlet on one circut breaker. Usually, when I used to wire houses, I could put 13 or so devices on one circut breaker and around 10 outlets on one circut breaker. Back...

Used to have old Panasonic AM/FM Stereo on high shelf in detached shop with the old original speakers mounted high on walls. When I drywalled the walls and lid in shop and and put in recessed can lights I also put in (2) 12" ribbon speakers in lid and wired them to the whole house audio system...

Well, I didn't get anytiing on Christmas day for the garage, but 2 weeks ago I treated myself to a lighting mod for my shop/garage. I took down the 4' flourscents and put 11 recessed can lights in. My shop/garage is dry walled and insulated. I now have 3 switched zones; 4 can lights spaced...
