Way back in the dark ages of this site, we had screen names and user names. The user name was not seen so I used My Email for that. My screen name was KurtW.

At one point they did away with screen names and went to our user names which was my email. I asked to have it changed, but was told it could not be changed. I believe someone has had…[Read more]

Too cold to remember to take pictures.

I can believe the too cold thing. Lots of cold out there, even down south the cold air is coming.

temps are 30 degrees below normal for this time of year here. No snow yet either. It will push the frost deep this year. R…[Read more]

Installed new height adjusters in a gym. We were supposed to install 6 but only got five done, so back tomorrow.

We had to remove some pipes from the structure and replace them with others that fit between the uprights instead of in front of them. The uprights were 66″ between and they sent 61″ pipes. I enede up having to buy 12 – 10′ x 1 1/2″…[Read more]

The stations were very crowded so I couldn’t go as close as I wanted it.

Around here it draws a huge crowd. If you want to get up close, Be prepared to get there early and stand for a while.

It is that time of year again to bump this thread again, and provide the link to the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train Schedule.

We see this train in town every year or two, and it travels within a half mile of my shop when leaving town. It is a great thing to see when traveling from place to place. It is all lit up as it travels.

It sounds like the 18V and 18Vx2 will be parallel platforms to the 40 V.

With the proliferation of their 18V lineup, I would guess they will not kill it. If they move on to a revised battery configuration I would guess they will have an adapter like Dewalt so as not to PO a lot of customers.

Dewalt is basically running parallel lines with…[Read more]

I think It is a general comment about what should be posted, If it is not something you would actually read or want to read, don’t post it.

It does not matter whether you are a pro or not, if you are posting good content or questions.

Digging footings for another house today. I hope we can stay ahead of the weather, to get the block laid and the underground done.

I have a few of the Knock off ladders like the Little Giant’s. they work fairly well and are handy to carry in the truck without hanging out the back. For the length they are, they are fairly heave however.
