Welcome to the Creek, Ron. White wood is another name for poplar at Home Depot. If you want cheap wood to practice on, Home Depot has 1 x 10 x 8 pine shelving for about $8, which is about 2/3 the...

You may want to visit your local bookstore. There are reference books for coins available (or were a few years ago) that list the year, how many were produced, condition and how the condition...

Thanks, Tod. I'll try that.

I have a french door to stain and I seem to remember there was a method or process for keeping the stain off of the glass, but I can't remember what it was. I didn't think masking tape or painter's...

This is Sheba, aka Stubby or Tail-less Wonder to her friends! Yep a german shepherd mix with no tail anymore.

Very nice! I showed the pics to the LOML, she thought they were really neat, thought they would sell well (yes, she is a serious crafter). She had a couple suggestions - as a variation on your...

Superior Seal makes a good product, but I don't know if they distribute to your area. They are a local manufacturer here. You may want to check out your local manufacturers or sellers - national...

Just kidding, Jeff. I haven't heard of these before but they sound like a good idea from the comments here as far as cost/heat produced/renewable energy issues.

Like Michael, I've never heard of one of these but wouldn't burning kernels of corn simply produce massive quantities of popcorn ?:eek: :p Just curious

Congrats on the anniversary, John! Seems like a few Creekers got hitched around the same time. The Missus and I had our third anniversary August 31.

Glad to hear all went well and you're on the road to recovery.

If it makes anyone feel better, gas was 82.7 cents (Canadian $) per litre earlier this week. Today it was 98.7 cents per litre. That's roughly $3.25US per US gallon - if I did the math right...then...

From what I have seen, trees lean to seek sunlight or lean/twist from wind. For example, white pine in northern Ontario have tops and upper branches that point in the same direction as the...

I have a Dodge Grand Caravan and I can get a 4 x 8 sheet of drywall inside with everything closed. Just took out the seats and put it on the floor. I had to move the drivers seat up a notch...

If it makes you feel any better, a few years ago lightning hit too close for comfort. I was in the kitchen and felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up just before a simultaneous flash...

Yes - cheap drill bits - especially when 1/8" bits make 3/8" diameter circles spinning in the drill press.
Worst tool # 2 - cheap laser level. I couldn't figure out why things were so far...

Sorry to hear the news. We're pullin' for you.
All the best

hopefully that is just passing through and not a direct hit on your house!

Thanks for the tips, gents. I'll keep 'em in mind for the next time, which there probably will be:rolleyes: .

Thanks for the tip. I don't know if getting rid of grubs will work too well. I have a regular sized yard, about 60 x 120'. The neighbours behind me have lots around 350' deep with lots of...

A rather unusual project, but well done. I just gotta ask - where is this unique conversation piece being stored ? I can only imagine the one-liners and obligatory jokes if this gentleman...

Last night I took our not-too-bright dog outside and it happened again. She trotted to the deck next to the pond, gave the deck a sniff or two, then charged around the pond to my shed and continued...

I've tried to keep "leftovers" just in case I need something that small, but I just don't have the space in my 12 x 12 shed...er...um...shop. I make myself feel much better by taking all the oddball...

You could try Lepage Bulldog Grip PL Premium polyurethane construction adhesive. It comes in a tube for a caulking gun, around $5 a tube. I used it to glue a 2 x 6 into the side channel of a...

I would treat the jambs the same as the casing to keep a consistent look. If you can't find jambs to match your casing material, make them. Pre cut jambs can be frighteningly expensive...I...

Many moons ago in grade 8, we taped the front and back with masking tape along the cut line to prevent scratches, put it in a vise and cut it with a coping saw. Then file the edge so there...
