Worked on the 39" TH Crack Yak here and there.....glue a piece, work on graphics while it was drying and so on. Be ready for servos and the top and bottom vertical fuse once it dries good.

I'm liking the Foam Tac glue that @pawnshopmike told me about...more than the welders glue

Cool. Glad you like the glue. Another benefit of the Foam Tac glue is that it won't turn yellow over time like the Welders does.

Found and got the motor back from that DANGEROUS neighborhood! But it was in pieces too! Is nothing safe any more.

Good news is I also found plenty of parts there! Ninja'd it whole again in no time.

Even had parts left over .

I am having another window installed in my garage so I can put an AC unit in. The windows currently don't open. What would you guys recommend for the job AC wise?

If the garage has no insulated walls (most don't) then One refrigeration ton (12,000btu) per 400 sq ft. Biggest window type AC that will offer up 2 tons of cooling (24000btu) is 230volt. If you just want some relief in a hot garage just get a 10 or 12,000 btu unit at 115volts.

Hey Kelly,

Don't you think a 2 ton unit is going to be a little too heavy for the wall? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

You could also go with a through the wall unit. That way you don't block your view or natural light by filling up a window.

Speaking as a guy that just pulled a 24000 btu unit out of the wall to clean it I can tell you it sure felt like 2 tons to me, and I had the supposed light side. All I could think when we were putting it back in the wall was I'm getting too old for this.

@pawnshopmike can direct you to the style of AC unit he installed in his shop....no windows required.

This is what I put in my shop. Best money I ever spent.

Only thing is, you will need an HVAC guy/gal to make the final connection and charge the unit.
