Thank you Rae, just in time. My son-in-law and I intend to resurface my deck and refresh it generally. We will certainly take a look at the alternatives you have proposed. Thanks again. Geoff - Original Message - From: Ray Boyce To: blindhandyman@Yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, June

Re: [BlindHandyMan] How to tell if you need new shock absorbers

I'd say if you like your wife then you might want to invest in the heavy duty shocks. if you got 100,000 miles out of them then be glad. Lee On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 06:54:43AM -0400, Scott Howell wrote: > Now out of curiosity, we own a Jeep Grand CHerokee. Now Jeeps have a > rough ride

Re: [BlindHandyMan] How is your front end?

I'm laughing as now I can say to others here" I told you so . it is a 318 ". thanks for those tips Bob. now I need to wait until the truck reappears. seems as the kid took off for the North country. Isn't it interesting that until we have a problem with a car or truck we do not find out

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Been on vacation and back at it

Tom, For the finish, I left it natural. Use treated lumber and decking for the floor. 2x4's for the railings. Couldn't find my framer, so had to go to deck screw. They tell me it looks good. Except my wife, who wanted a railing made of the fancy spindles and caps. I told her it just isn't going

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Been on vacation and back at it

Great work R.J. what did you do for finish? I've gotten to really like ramps particularly when going down since I've been dealing with a ballance problem for several years. If I have to go down any more than a couple of stairs with no rail, I get very very carefull. Tom

RE: [BlindHandyMan] PORTIBLE TABLE SAWS

Scott, I am not sure i did it right the first few times either. I do believe you can get a pdf of the manual from the website, so you won't need to try to scan it in. This is how I fold it. When I am standing in front of the saw, the wheels are on the left, and the legs on the right. If you

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Portable TABLE SAWS

Scott, when you looked at the Rigid, did you also look at the Makita portable saw? I noticed the Makita's on the Home Depot site, also. earlier, Scott Howell, wrote: >Michael, I ended up returning the Dewalt. I did not like a couple of >things, but the real issue was a problem in the mechanism

Re: [BlindHandyMan] How to tell if you need new shock absorbers

Ah, thanks, I'll check into that then. Like I said, never done it, but can't imagine it would be impossible. I was even told you don't even have to jack the vehicle up. tnx On Jun 27, 2008, at 7:06 AM, Bob Kennedy wrote: > It's past time to replace them if they've never been done before. [

Re: [BlindHandyMan] How to tell if you need new shock absorbers

Now out of curiosity, we own a Jeep Grand CHerokee. Now Jeeps have a rough ride to begin with, but she's got about 100,000 miles on her. I wonder if it would be nearing time to replace the shocks. Lately it just seems to me that it has a little more bounce and roll than I remember, but it c

Re: [BlindHandyMan] PORTIBLE TABLE SAWS

Michael, I ended up returning the Dewalt. I did not like a couple of things, but the real issue was a problem in the mechanism that raised and lowered the blade. It seemed to slip a little and made some growning noises. I ended up getting the Ridgid saw after reading the reviews and info. I
