Santa left this

[Alan L.]

But my son and I had to put it together.

 

[Harv]

Looks good, Alan! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

You look like you're raring to build something. Why don't you go ahead and ask your TBN buddies for project suggestions.

I dare you. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

They are handy..but where the stool to set on./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
Since you have plenty of room left how about..welder,metal saws,bins of nuts and bolts,jacks or chain falls,drill press,large vice,double set of hand tools,coffee maker,easy chair,large radio,Kubota calender etc..etc..
You be surprise the good times you will have.

Protect..build a dump trailer to haul behind your Kubota..from the floor up./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Nice job, Alan!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hey, I got a retainer wall for Christmas (some assembly required)./w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Doya wanna come over ahd help me with that little project?/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Nice bench but you're two short. You need one to stack crap on, one for unfinished projects you'll get back to in six months or a year and one to actually work on.

 

[Bird]

Took 4 for me; two to stack crap on./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Bird
I have six benches between 2 buildings. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif All full of crap from the last project that I didn't finish. /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif I think someplace under all that crap are a few tools that I can't find. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

 

[JJT]

Bird, I just need one, but it's 4 ft wide and 16 feet long, and the "crap" is 18" deep! JJT

 

[Harv]

One of the strongest known forces in the universe is the attraction between crap and horizontal surfaces. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Look around you and see if you can spot this attraction in action on:

a table
a chair
a TV set
a computer
a bookcase
a kitchen or bathroom counter
a shelf

... and of course, the floor! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Before my TC25D arrived, I had to clean out our small garage to have a place to keep it. Before the cleaning, I could barely fit our Work Horse 16 hp garden tractor in the garage. Now I can fit the TC25D. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Did I throw a lot of stuff out? Oh yeah. The roadside in front of our house looked like a yard sale was in progress as the cleanings awaited the garbage truck. As I dragged stuff out of the garage I kpet asking myself, "Why did I ever keep this?". I knew the answer. Over the years, as I tossed yet another item to the back of the garage, I thought, "I might need this some day." Our garage was so cleaned up, my youngest daughter made a special point of looking at it before it got filled up with the new tractor. Another example of all horizontal surfaces fill up with the treasures we can not part with...until a newer treasure comes along, that is! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif I could have opened a museum with just the Gateway PC boxes I had kept.

I certainly know what you mean, Mike. But why does my wife refer to my treasures as "that crap"? /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

 

[bgott]

I have this bad habit of digging in roadside trash piles. I thought I grew out of it but I got pretty good at fixing window A/Cs to use in my rent houses. I manage to salvage one out of two and then am too lazy to drag the rest to the curb for the junkmen. The leaves have about fallen so it's time for yard cleanup. That usually sucks but this year I have a loader and pallet forks!

If she's like my wife, it's because she never has the joy of seeing when a carefully saved POC comes in handy! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I always try to remember to point out to my other half when I managed to put to use that old furring strip I saved from a project 5 years ago. In fact, when I was adding the lights to my tractor, I actually used one of the many short pieces of 12/2 with ground Romex (to fish the wires up to the battery from the back of the tractor) I was storing in the basement. However, I did not point this out to my wife since you do not get credit for using a saved POC on your own project. You only get credit when a POC gets used on on of her projects. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
