they make a continuous roaring sound, i heard one that was 1/4 mile from my house, scary shit.

all right, long question and I'll try to keep it short. 1st, about me, so you know where I am coming from: 55 years old, started at my Dads local mom and pop shop when I was 14. Always had a way with tinkering and fixing stuff since I was a kid. Worked for my dad till he passed when I was 28...

no convincing job#1 of anything: established for 70 years, doubt theyll listen to the new guy, also I would be working next to the owners 35 y.o. son the whole time. They seem like a nice family, heard a lot of good about them but the working conditions look like they kinda suck. Double...

i totally agree, but it is what it is, I was told they sometimes did that back then.

Hi everyone: i live in an old flat, which has wallpapered ceilings. There is an area where the paper has let go at a seam, and the pieces are slowly sagging down. I can't simply push it back up as it's brittle as hell. Do I need to steam it to soften it? If I do, how will any glue then work...

been watching for this since they started filming. Made on a very small budget, hope they do well.

absolutely, I refer to it as the " not MY fault" generation....

I had read that a partial list of Renewed shows had been released, and so far, Fringe is not on it. Fox loves killing Sci Fi.....
