    Bird Flu risk for reassortment

    O- Boy, here we go again. Trump 2.0 possible pandemic, I hope not, because it will probably become a subjective debate over the objective reality. In other words, a poop storm. According to an interview today, on public radio, the next few months should prove to be critical. Supposedly there...

    How to stabilize Carpet backing near selvage edge.

    We only had 3/4” trim on the selvage edge to meet the hallway carpet and most of the time that’s not enough trim for a stable seam edge. However, with very little effort the use of a glue gun can be your friend. I applied a 1” wide bead of glue along the 3’ edge and smoothed it flat into the...

    TFP Jim McClain 3 year anniversary

    It seems much longer than that. I wonder what that means ? Remember he was trying to clear out excess items from his apartment. He gave me two shot running tools and I bought a Peanuts lunch box that he signed. I wish I would’ve bought one of his photos. How many of us have ever met Jim or...
