    That's very true as the simplicity was very appealing. And the same contrast holds true for my other idol, Thos Moser...very shaker, but with some strong hints of Japanese influence in certain design...

    I just looked it up on the Bucks County Parcel Map...and yes, he was Girolamo Russo, AKA Gino. House and shop is on Evergreen near DeVal University. The son (also Geno) is really nice, so I suspect...

    I actually don't know as it had a cover over it and I felt uncomfortable dragging the ladder over to that side to check it out. I suspect it was some kind of statue/carving which he clearly was into...

    The price difference between 15a and 20a receptacles is minimal in the larger scope of things (I buy the better grade, not the cheap ones) and I prefer that 20 amp circuits have the 20 amp...

    If you need serious "leaf blowing", go with one of the new green brands like EGO. There are other excellent outdoor tools that use the same batteries. If your needs are more incidental, go with...

    You might be able to use shorter "lifting straps" with your existing winch to do the deed in the same way as with just heavy ratchet straps.

    The cleanup went surprisingly easy...I created the "world's largest shop vac" and sucked it all up. :) :D The hose wouldn't reach on it's own and I had a spare 5' piece of 4" quick connect duct....

    No question, go for the thicker steel. Stiffer and will handle the load better. If I had chosen a steel building instead of the post frame I went with, it would have had the heavier steel and that's...

    A proper cyclone separator will, um...separate...both larger and smaller materials out of the air stream. While it might seem counter-intuitive, even the fine particles obey the laws of gravity and...
