This is Central Florida where the rot proof & termite proof is a good

for the door & A/C. I'm taking out the pair of late '60s crank out
windows to conserve usable wall space. I already have a circular saw
blade sharpener.


HF or otherwise? Which reminds me, I bought a panel cutting saw,
Makita 6001K plunge saw, which I need to buy a spare blade for. I did
some zero to 3/32" cuts on a screen door the other day and it
performed flawlessly. $400, but worth every cent.


Take the steel door back and buy one of wood or fiberglass. Metal
dents and looks like hell, plus it gets hot as Hades in the sun.



It's on the north side of the builkding, n never in direct sunlight.
I only paid $20 for a 200 + pound fire rated door from a surplus
building supply place, 10+ years ago.


Did I mention "icy in winter"? OK, at $20, that's a real
honest-to-Crom deal. You must have really needed it ten years ago,
huh? chortle


Arid conditioning in a shop is mandatory. Yeah, I don't look forward
to getting a living out of SS in 6 (ten by then?) years...



I'm not allowed any income on VA disability. That ends in two years.


Ouch!


You prefer Victoria's Secret? ;-)


He had only one secret.


That sounds quite painful! ;-)


I don't -even- want to know. Really! shudder
