i have a shop that is 20 x 24, and a closed in attached carport 10 x 20(3 sides closed in)on the south side, with a man door in to the main shop area. the carport has concrete floors and houses metal storage rack, tire machine, parts washer, and the sand blast cabinet. i try and do the dirty work out there.

did you collect a storeage fee???

the problem with wire mesh, at least around here, the small birds (starlings,wrens) and squirrels get in, and build nest......

a nibbling tool makes a real nice rectangular hole... just a thought

Anyone know where to buy one of these? I'm talking about the kind that are like a small pair of pliers and made just for this type of deal. You drill a small hole and these pliers take tiny little bites untill you get just the shape you need. They're perfect for cutting a little notch on top (or wherever you need it) to stop switches from turning in a round hole etc.

i bought mine at a electronics supplier, in there tool section, i believe it was norvac electronics.

just  thought, have you looked at the adjustable mounts used on 92-97 ford crown vics? they are used on the radiator core, have a rubber bottom, and have "steps" that you can adjust for height....

or these at summit

RIP...

Dee Wescott, a 58 year member of Boring Fire District and former Mayor for the City of Damascus, died at his home Thursday, January 29, He was 81 years old.

Dan O'Dell, Boring Fire District's retired Chief who worked with Dee during most of his career, said he was "a great friend, an icon in the fire service who led by example" Dee's length of service spanned many changes in the fire service. These changes always seemed to be greeted with a 'can do' attitude and Dee's ever present smile.

Dee joined Boring Fire District in 1950 and, over the years, served in nearly every capacity including as Fire Chief in the early 60's. He retired from active duty as Assistant Chief in 1997 and continued his service as a Board Member until he died.

In addition to his tremendous commitment to public safety through his service with Boring Fire District, Dee also served as the first Mayor of the City of Damascus. He owned and operated Wescott's Auto Re-Styling for over 55 years, was a long time member of Multnomah Hot Rod Association and was involved with a number of civic and volunteer organizations including being a founding member of Damascus Water District and the Damascus Civic Club. "He was always doing so many things for the community," said Joyce Schwer, Vice President Damascus Civic Club "His absence will be felt by everyone here".

"If you wanted something done, you talked to Dee," Damascus City Mayor Jim Wright said. "The volunteering community spirit he had, he was an inspiration. There is an extraordinary number of things around here that are the beneficiary of his handiwork."

+1 on the bulb being burnt out.... the circuit (as in the fan relay)was using the bulb as a fuse.....

how about "water glass", available at the pharamcy" have used it before on cracked blocks, and held for several years....

if it has power windows, the motors and the mechanicals..

a punch in the bottom of the tank, and some clean 5 gallon buckets?

what make and year of truck?

i have 6 or 7 for 48 - 52  fords

You could buy a lot of gas for the 30% hit your going to take...

That's part of why I'm holding off. But what happens when cost creates a cash flow problem? It's one thing for America to change a lifestyle, what's going to happen when we just can't afford the gas to get the working class to work?

umm... maybe a "working flat" in the city  ie... a cheap apt/room, till things, level out?

.....when I got home from work. I flipped on the furnace (mistake #1) and mixed the paint. The garage was cold, including the truck. .....

that was your first and biggest mistake.....

depending on the temperature before furnace turn on... things tend to "sweat" when first getting warm

always have the garage and item being painted at temp for 6 hours before starting....

just a quick update..

it doesnt hurt to breathe or cough.... i think ive cheated death again....
