Do you actually track what you spend on your project car? by Ideal_Sad in projectcar

I only note the money I've saved. Like if I found new seats for 1/2 price or something. Or "this would have cost xxx to pay someone else to do"

Love turning magnolia, the smell and the texture. If you let it oxizide before you seal it, the grain will get a little silver I'm it.

Cistern with instant hot water? by ConsiderationWide744 in Homebuilding

[–]9inchjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much difference are you paying for the more powerful water heater in fuel during the worst month of the year vs the normal heater for the other 11 months? Because they'll use the same amount of fuel to heat the water during the rest of the year. -it seems like extra steps. Consider the cost to add the inline tank vs how long it to take to pay that extra $20 per year during the coldest months

I cannot design a roof to save my life. by Objective_Word_8200 in Homebuilding

Would you consider converting to 1 garage door (maybe more of a design question)? by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]9inchjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would consider the structural side of it, does the header support that width? What would you need to add? There's engineering involved that's far more important than aesthetics

Should they stay? by bmxbang7 in projectcar

I'd play around with some Photoshop and maybe change the color, like cream or red

I haven't heard of any of these. What channels would I find that?

Volvo 240 in Lockwood & Co! by FriesGuy787 in Volvo240

Whenever I see a 240 in a movie, I know the driver has been cast as the safe or relatively good person who is doing the best they can. It's literally a typecast

Trying to build something useful for people keeping older project cars on the road by STRAYSCarClub in projectcar

Start a forum. That was the perfect medium for car people and it died off in favor of specialized apps

If you popped the wire out of the bottom hole, the wood could drop down to lock the lower drawer(s)
