    Cost and time to replace new entry door

    I'm guessing with your description that you are talking about the spacer (metal seal), between the glass panes. If that is the case, is the rest of the door fine? That is a large hunk of double pane sealed unit glass for a door. Those units will have a shorter life cycle if they flex. Glass...

    Cost and time to replace new entry door

    @jjj70095 , The questions are pretty open ended. You can get a whole variety of answers. It may help to narrow down some details. First, I'd like to know why a new furnace is causing moisture? Are you getting condensation inside the glass or is it forming on the surface? If it's multi pane...

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    You bring up a couple of good points. This has to be brutal for businesses that like our money to pay the bills. No snow isn't good for business right now. I know the businesses will be dang happy to see us come when conditions get better. I'll be dang happy to see some of those familiar...

    Favorite stops from back in the day..

    It's long gone. The building used to be right across from Dutch's. It wasn't much of a building. They used the same rule book for building and running the place. No rules. The place was entertaining ;) in a number of ways. We've been going through that area for quite a few years. I can...

    Anybody ever make it to Ashe Hole in Marinesco? The name fit. I can't remember the owner's name, but he was a character.

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    Funny you guys mention those rebates. It seems like a money maker deal for John. We have quit trying. We have filled out enough forms to be several thousand dollars and have received one for fifteen and change. Not sure why they don't come back. Most of our stuff has P.O. number attached...

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    I agree those are nice. I only mentioned the switched outlet because he is currently wiring. Now is the easy time to put a switched outlet in place. I generally put in switched outlets for power tools and dust collection combo systems. I usually hide the vac and dust collectors out of the way...

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    I do that same trick. Life is so much easier. @pclark , Since you are already doing wiring. Another tip is putting the saw on a switched outlet. I run a shop vac with dust cyclone on the other side of the outlet and hide the whole works under my bench.

    John Dee

    Dang it God, you really gathered one of the good guys this time. It is impossible to find adequate words to describe. I keep going back to feeling and hoping for Nora and Grace. It's hard. It brings tears just thinking about their pain. To Nora and Grace, thank you for allowing us to share...

    What Will You Be Riding This Winter?

    We're afraid to say we "might" be riding a new sled. I bought a couple brand new 22 sleds last season. The customers turned down their preordered sleds when they delivered after the season was done. I had to pay for them when delivered in June and they were theoretically one year old when...

    sled lifts

    I've looked fondly at various sled lift options over the years. Just never bit the bullet. I have been using a heavy duty ratchet strap attached to the rafters. It works ok for a lot of the stuff I'm doing. It works quite well for skid related stuff. I just wrap one end around the rear...

    Cats New Motor

    The exhaust valve setup is interesting. I'm a little surprised that they did so much to this motor. It sounds like the motor has been compacted down quite a bit to sit low and tight. The intake/reed setup is different and the motor mount design sounds like it is purpose fit just for the...

    What, no talk? no speculation?

    Don't think that anyone has seen their production Catalyst yet. I can imagine why the die hard power fans aren't talking too much about a new mill. If you rode Yammie Cats, the new motor isn't going to create much hype. For years, all they had to do was check off a box on their order form and...

    Gene, (Bingo) Has Passed

    Thanks for posting the link @eao . The obituary tells a good part of what is was like to meet the man. (Char too.) The sign quote is very telling and true. "You are a stranger here, but once," @nytro_rtx , That sounds exactly like Gene. He would do a lot more than open the doors for...

    Gene, (Bingo) Has Passed

    He passed away last evening. It is hard to imagine how many people he touched over the years. He had a heart and character that affected anyone that met him. God used a little extra effort on Gene and it showed. There are quite a few stories and memories over the years at Bingo's. His...

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    It looks like you have quite the project. The terrain is an added challenge. I'm glad to see you are doing drainage on the high side. Even with the sandy soils, you will still have a lot of water flow. I have clay soil and a steep slope to the backside on my home. Water management is a big...

    Fly Like an Eagle

    That is a pretty cool experience John. Right place, right time, and some luck added gave you an opportunity not many will experience. I have not been to Oshkosh. Friends that go talk about it with awe. Most of them are involved with old birds in some form or another and the Oshkosh is the...

    Finally some real EV/Truck stats and...... WOW!!!

    We have certainly taken a strange approach to bringing EV to the masses. I'm not against the idea, but the implementation is seriously flawed. These big, fancy, feature loaded vehicles are a bad combination along with the idea that we can do long duration work without a quick repower. The...

    When was the last time you checked your....

    I agree in theory with the statement. I used to do the recommended early intervals and then left them alone. I went for years and years without any issues. But, I've had a couple combinations that just didn't like to stay tight. First one I caught when I saw the wobble. It worked loose...
