    Lumber Storage

    I'm curious what people are doing to store lumber at home. I always buy additional stock when working around the house so I have extra framing lumber, finish & trim boards etc. to be stored. I'd like to make a rack so that things are easily accessed and off of the floor. Thanks for your help.

    I married a Jeep Girl

    Found this pic of Cindy's first vehicle, a 1978 CJ-7. She bought it back in the early 80's just as we started dating. We had it through a lot of years and great times but couldn't keep the rust away. Riding shotgun in this pic is Tasha.

    New Door Handles for 97 Full Doors?

    I bought mine for my '97 at Crown 4 - 5 years ago. They still look good. Originals were rusted and worn.
