I've got a little heater unit that came out of a drier (I think). I'll PM some pics to see if that would work
I'm pretty sure it will work perfectly.
Plus, if run on 110v instead of 220v, will be quite safe, and easier to turn the heat lower.
Thanks guys!
Yeah this is straight 110v so I can plug it in anywhere including straight to the generator if needed. The fan as plugged in separately, so it's always on, with the ball-chain on the door allowing for airflow adjustment. The temp control unit just uses a 10kohm resister - mounted near the food for proper control. (You see the blue wires outside, and the resister circled below) This way I don't have to try to calculate volts applied for given degrees - just set the control with the appropriate offset, and it will turn on/off heat as needed.

I think it's a pretty good theory that I can use just about any type of heat source/element that can be mounted in the bottom. Just have to make sure the element doesn't get too hot before the resister feels it. (Although, seeing the lights on is an easy way to know it's still working)
ps. And yes, those are plumbs, pruning. Mrs. already made 3 batches of sugar plums... Can't get her to try to make wine though...

I blasted the frame and repainted it. Scrubbed the dead bugs and crud off all the milk glass
Don’t think it’s ‘vintage’ but I like fixing old stuff rather than buying new
I did the back porch light a while ago

We get Recycle, recycle, recycle. And people just throw stuff in a bin and think they are doing the world a favor. How about . Repair , Rebuild , Repurposed !

I was kinda annoyed this weekend (again) when I needed to spray something with some wd40 and I picked up a full can and pushed the top and...... nothing --- all the gas had leaked out - I seem to remember that I discovered that earlier in the spring, but forgot about it..... Well, I was cruising thru some youtubes and saw this....
Went out to the garage and gave it a try and it worked beautifully! Thought I'd pass it along incase others have depressurized cans laying around like me.

I've used the tire valve stem method to recharge spray cans for years. Handy!

Yup.
I learned about it from SixtyFiveFord, a couple years before everyone else, like the guy above, copied him...
5 and a half million views on just this one video, and the guy still only has just less than 180k subscribers. Tragic. But plenty of people copying his ideas over the years, and grabbing up the subscribers.
Stopped by Hobby Lobby to get a wood ball to make a handle out of. Best I found was this “wooden doll head”
Whatever it is I drilled a 5/8” hole in it and stuck it on the press I keep at my shop just for decapping. The angle of the picture makes it look bigger than it really is...

As far as I can tell it was poured after the foundation. There’s no rebar in it but man is it stuck. I’m tempted to rip it out with the boom truck but I don’t want to also rip a hole in the foundation
Thoughts?
Might try pouring muriatic acid between the step and the foundation to see if that would loosen it up

First, maybe undermine it as much as possible to reduce friction/contact with ground. I've used a pressure washer to do this. Not pretty but beats digging.
Nylon wedges used by loggers are pretty thin. You might jam a couple between the step and foundation and see if that won't get it to pop free. Or rig some wooden wedges.
Or drill a decent depth hole(s) in the top of the step and put a pin/bolt in. Looks like there might be a hole in top already? Put chain on bolt. Attach chain to mover of choice and give it a bump.
Wait for cold weather and pour water in the seam and see if ice will force the issue. Or.....bury the bitch and pretend you never saw it.
