    electric bikes?

    I was out near a big Amish community last weekend and those folks ride them everywhere. It was freezing outside with the roads covered in snow and I saw a lot more e-bikes than I did buggies.

    Shop layout recommendations?

    We have a 32x48 shop. The absolute best thing we ever did for our shop was put a ceiling in it with R19. Never gets below freezing and it warms up to 50 real quick on the coldest days. OSB walls with R13 behind them and it’s very comfortable to work in. Can’t help with your lay out though.

    I Am A Failure When It Comes To Cleaning Paint Brushes

    I used to paint apartments after people moved out. The tips others have given are great but at the end of the day washing out a brush isn’t rocket science. Clean it out until the water coming off is clear then give it a few good wacks and let it dry.
