    Blank canvas, steel sided 40x60 pole barn. Thoughts on insulating, electrical, heating???

    Back in good ole Mo. I cooled about 1000 sq. feet of my humble abode with a 110 window unit. Never turned it on till maybe noon, and it kept it perfect all day. 100 degree days no issue. I did build it with 6 inch wall studs and insulated it well with bats. It was what we call a...

    What is the best/worst you've done when selling at a swap meet?

    I have a Mopar bud in Al. He had a bud that owned an old boneyard and he would let my friend go out and take off bolts, screws, the little things for free. My bud would drive to Carlisle and sell these "trinkets" for $1 ea. He had many many little plastic boxes with 3 x 3 holds for each and...

    Real estate question.

    In most of Texas, r/e agents pay each month to list on a website that is limited to listings of r/e agents. A guy can always put up a sign on property that says "for sale by owner!". :BangHead: Works for some property in some areas.

    Real estate question.

    Inquire as to a well known KNOWLEDGable R/E office/agent, have them research comparable sales and see their opinion. Or have it appraised. Many people think their property is commercial when in fact it is not.

    2 similar A-bodies...which would YOU build and why?

    I see all these nut prices on 4 door beaters on FB Marketplace all the time. IF you bookmark any car for sale, and come back months later to see IF it sold, cars in general are NOT selling here and darn sure none of the $5-10 more door turds of any brand, that are nothing more than poor parts...

    2 similar A-bodies...which would YOU build and why?

    What is the best/worst you've done when selling at a swap meet?

    I could always recognize a what I thought was a fair price, and paid that for a part I needed. If a part I needed, I thought was over priced I made an offer. If the guy got pissed and beligerant, I left his spot never to never return again. I have paid premium for parts that were hard to...

    What is the best/worst you've done when selling at a swap meet?

    When I went to Mopar Nats. back decades ago, I got there as soon as gates opened on Thur. for the early bird buyers and the other parts vendors looking for good deals to flip. I sold about 30% of my parts Thur, and by Fri late afternoon I was usually 70% sold out and by Sat at noon 98% sold...

    What is the best/worst you've done when selling at a swap meet?

    I had been to Mopar Nats every year from maybe 1985 till last time, about 2003 or 4. Missouri to Ohio was 12 hours, hated that nasty place. One to Carlisle twice. Love it but way too far. selling parts helped pay for parts/materials for my builders. Or did it!??? Most fun I had was when...

    The thrill is gone?

    When the guy spends years restoring his old car to perfect, then it sits in his garage and never drives it because IF he did he would maybe get a scratch or door ding OR get the engine dusty...... but he blames it all on OCD!!!! just maybe........ :poke: :BangHead:
