Got a 4 bank battery maintainer after losing 2 batteries over last winter.
Installed a wood stove in my 560 sqft 10’ wall uninsulated work room at the shop. Pipping cost about 3 times more than the stove itself. This replaces my very loud torpedo heater.

In Wisconsin I grew up in a 100+ farm house that originally was the mess hall when they logged the area in the 1800s. We only had a potbelly stove for heat. I have a virtually unlimited supply of orange wood which puts out good heat with little ash.super cool, my favorite heat source. Any thought to insulate it? if the walls are open you could probably do it in a day.
Are those 2x6 studs? Even better if so, can make your firewood go a long way. I have a wood stove in my house big enough to heat the whole thing but it burns a lot of wood to do it. I have heat pumps so I let them do most of it and just step in with the stove when it gets cold enough that they need some help to stay out of the inefficient electric furnace stage.
I’d rather sell it myself than have the wife deal with everything I’ve collected when I’m gone.
Cleaned my work bench off in the basement today and positioned the vise my company was throwing out 15 years ago. I'll grab some bolts at work tomorrow to mount it.
And yes it's been sitting for that long in the basement. Needs a good cleaning and rebuild, but it will do for now for my little project.

Thats a pre war vise.
I can believe it! The company I work for has been around for a long time. I'll have to clean it up to read the manufactures name. It is USA made.
Put the garage stereo on its own shelf. Used some left over white melamine from our previous house, left over shelving brackets, and a couple staples for the speaker wiring.

That looks much, much better than the abomination I hacked together out of leftover stuff for my garage stereo.
Well now you have to show...
Alright, but it's bad.

I kept telling myself after the MR2 I'd spend some time and money cleaning up all this... crap. Getting storage, workbenches, etc.
But here I am diving into another Jeep project instead, still pissed off I can't find anything.
What in the tarnation is going on here... Those two just don't go together. You should put that Ford emblem on your trash can...

I see a ton of wall space for outlets and you could get rid of that surge protector!
