    That is awesome! I've done most of the house and driveway flood light converted from 300W to 100W and it is as bright as the 300W (only one not LED). Living room have 2 uplight lamps with reading arms and the 3 way LED for those were really expensive. But so worth it. Well except now I can see when I need to dust sooner. And how in the hell did dog hair get on the popcorn ceiling?! Garage and kitchen are left then I'm done. Custom made extension cords, hmm. Made a boat load of those no idea why I didn't think of that thanks- perfect!

    My garage in the winter too. And yeah think there would be less rusted frames if those that had heated garages would park outside. Would love to pull into my garage but not worth it.

    Unfortunately my battery isn't removable, and didn't have a grain of rice in the house. Sat down to read about other options and a few seconds later remembered I had just bought a vacuum sealer. Went through about 6 foot on the roll and 30 seals and kept pulling little droplets. Still no joy.

    Especially room in a teardrop for WET doggies after running in the woods all day. And cooking outside in the cold, etc. done my share of it over the years not so much now if I can help it. For me a hardside lightweight is what I eventually want. More single retired women out there huh? I'm thinking it is time to reevaluate retirement and start doing road trips...

    Not so much an issue there but in the North with salt and weather keeping a jack outside the ratchet will rust on you and lock up if you don't keep it well lubed. If it does and your on the trail you can pour beer or brown licker on it to free it up. But that is considered alcohol abuse. You can piss on it and the acid in urine will free it up in a couple of minutes. But will cost you a pair of gloves, you won't want to take them with you after using the jack. I am not one to litter but there might be a pair of leather gloves laying in the mud on a trail in Washington State from more than 30 years ago :anonymous:

    I'm just old school. I trained in mig, tig, stick, short arc, air arc. Built the race cars with stick. Get in much tighter places. So that's what I have.
