Garage door bottom weather strip
I found that after every nail, I let my arms
hang down and tried to relax. That helped. Also bending over to pick nails off the ground was good, bent my back the othe way. Aleve is also helpful for bad back. Congratulations, I'm glad it went well for you. I hear ya about the Aleve, miracle drug at my age. Anthony Watson www.mountainsoftware.com www.watsondiy.com |

Just pull the old one out, soap up the new one and pull it in. |

Probably harder to machine wood into a slot, so the weather strip slides in. Aluminum can be extruded, in lengths to fit. -- .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |
