    Late night shenanigans. Garage organization and lighting ideas.

    I agree that the spray insulation is not worth the expense and using the batts-as high as they will go. I had 8 ft strips and changed to light sockets and put 1 LED bulb in each. Not satisfactory so put the multi socket dudes in and like it better, but agree that the strips probably give better...

    Interesting video: Why buy a 9mm Conversion barrel for the Glock 40 Caliber?

    I bought a 9 mm barrel for a glock 27 and have not looked back. Glock is not my favorite pistol but I must admit that changeover was a breeze. Would recommend for anyone considering doing this.

    Roof Inspection Questions

    Commercial contractor here. The mastic was a jimmy rigged attempt to fix an issue. Pipe boot is reasonable answer. Agree that typical life is 10 years. Photo G is the biggest concern. That designer should be hung for creating such a ridiculous condition. My view is to remove those tiles and...
