    SO what is everyone up to today????

    I couldn't imagine the stress or discomfort in that line of work...I work 12 hr shifts at my Refinery, and on the board the down time is minimal. But I sit for 12 watching 13 screens and push buttons, not standing for 12 hands and body in a fixed position working under bright lights and zero...

    SO what is everyone up to today????

    I definetely spend more time in the kitchen than the wifey (my choice) and adding recipes, especially home cook fav's, is always a plus. I grew up around farms and ranches and I've never canned/jarred anything. I have family members who used to, but it seemed to have skipped my generation...

    welcome to the doghouse

    20yrs worth of fine tuning - it shows. I have an 05 Mustang I bought with the intentions of modding out and giving to my son for his first car (beats the hell out of the 77 MGB I got for my first). I didn't complain though, it was better than walking! Well, I probably towed it more than I...

    Ready to epoxy my garage floor

    I hear ya'. We've been running a heat index in the 100's; just walking through the garage is a chore, much less working in it. Don't forget to take pics and post when you can. Thx!

    My Jeep Garage

    All-right, if this is a contest on who has the most cluttered garage, I want in. I've been cleaning my garage for two weeks and I'm still not done. I do like the lights on the overhead door - can be repositioned and adjusts the cooling in the garage all at the same time. Hey if you don't...

    driveway question

    I know the humidity has to be better for you up north than for us in Texas, but I would think the curing times are pretty close to the same. I've always been told by our contractors that you can walk on it after 24 hrs but to fully cure takes about a month. I'd say the quotes of 28 days should...

    Ready to epoxy my garage floor

    I know I'm coming in late to this thread but I'm shopping for a kit to do my garage and you couldn't be live much closer...I'm about 10 min south of you. Anyway, Vortexan do you have any pics of the finished product? Havasu, did you apply the clear coat? If so, how'd it turn out?

    SO what is everyone up to today????

    Howdy folks, I see everyone is keeping busy this summer. Apple pie to go always sounds good. I spent the 4th of July at Disney with the family and just got back from Destin last week. Been at work every night since...Could be worse, I could be in the unemployment line with a whole lot of...

    Steel-Toed Boots

    I know this is an old thread; but, Timberland makes a variety of low cut boots. Even some Oxford type shoes that are steel toe. Wolverine makes a few that look like slip ons, leather low-quarter steel toe shoes. I prefer Timberland because it's one of the lightest steel toe shoes. I work on...

    What did you all do for your memorial day weekend?????

    Went to a school play with my boys, neighbors Crawfish boil, worked on the backyard...at this point in my backyard, I'm dividing the projects into piles. Then I'll try to put them, swingsets, together. Then to the garage - working on the landscape as my attention span dwindles.

    Where do you buy your tools?

    Ten months old and this thread found wings...great advice and I appreciate the responses. I do like shopping at Harbor Freight but most of the items I've purchased there, except for tarps, measuring tapes, and levels, have already been replaced. Lowes and Sears get the lionshare of my...

    Play scapes in your backyard

    Nice place, swingset looks new. I have a couple of swingsets in pieces I've been rebuilding for the last few months. Well, I replaced a few pieces a few months ago and have thought about putting them back together since then... I'll try to get moving so I can add my pics with yours. Nice...

    The 12-Gauge Garage

    Very nice rebuild. Linking to your other pics really shows how far removed this garage is from its inception. Evident that a lot of thought went into your design. So what do writer's do in their off time? This one builds. Congrats on your new garage!
