thanks!

how's it sound?

Laura, I've made one already and am about to make 2 more for relatives. Thank you!Have you tried using a brad nailer for nailing the slats to the frame? I'm considering using them instead of the hassle of screws. Do you think the results would be as good or would they pop out over time?

many people say it isn't worth the effort to DIY oil change, but if you set alerts on deal sites you can find great quality oil very cheaply. Usually with rebates, you can get 5qt synthetic for $10-$12. That's much cheaper than a synthetic oil change at a jiffy lube, plus you know the job is getting done right. I'm still using synthetic oil I stocked up on when I was alerted to a clearance 2 years ago at my AutoZone for only $1/at.

I'd try red to red and bare to black.

I own an M1 carbine, and that is definitely what this one is

I'll bet the chics dig it too

Update: So it has been a few weeks riding with the rear stax can and I must say I like it. I keep spare tubes for my bike and the kids' bikes in it (26",20",14"). It's perfect for that. And I can keep my levers, patches, keys and wallet in my regular handlebar bag with loads of room now. I feel much safer riding with the kids knowing I can replace a tube if need be.

thanks for voting! I like the rear one better too.

aww thanks!

great 'ible. I voted

x10 modules leak a small amount of current by design. This had no negative impact in a world of incandescents, but will cause CFL and LED bulbs to flicker even when they are turned off. You can hack the modules so that they will work with these bulbs by cutting a diode on the circuit board. Here's a link http://www.laureanno.com/x10-mod3.html

I have no suggestions to troubleshoot other than to put everything back the way it was. Sorry!

I used a serrated kitchen knife and sawed at it.
