I moved from a house with a ten foot garage shop to one that was only nine feet high. That foot makes a huge difference. Hanging racks provide some good storage too.
I rode on a full size tour bus through downtown Boston and the guide was quite the comedian. While I thought it was funny others were a little freaked out when he decided to purposely make a left...
I bought a Led Lenser M7R, now P7R, 13 years ago for work. It throws a bright flood beam and is quite bright. After dropping it 7 feet onto concrete they fixed it for free and quickly. It has been...
On a positive note, Door Dash is adding a tip policy. If you don’t tip your order may be delayed. Hopefully, this is not offset by a decrease in the base rate drivers make.

One day I hope to never need Timbermate but until then...
My kitchen floor is constantly wet from something. We have luxury vinyl plank in there and it is not an issue. Our plank has a rubber padding so a small water leak didn’t require lifting it up. We...
I have repaired a couple interior shutters with hardware issues. They were all made of beech.
I would buy any compressor from California Air Tools if it fit my needs. The big orange box has a few at good prices. There is enough noise in the shop with out a jet engine like compressor.
I don’t have dyslexia but mainly use the numbers and tick marks of a tape measure or rule for laying out the beginning of a project. The rest is relative measuring where I am just marking between...
I understand the different transaction process with Zelle and since most of my fees are collected through electronic payments I may encourage my clients to pay via that method. Not implying cooking...
Usually that question comes after someone has seen or heard about some of my work. I say “There are woodworkers, craftsman and artisans. I am woodworker who aspires to be an artisan but would be...
