use to be a brick layer till i had a stroke.
building most things is just using common scence building a easy to ajust light holder using a shelf, threded rod,wingnuts and plant hooks. drilled holes for the threded rod then put it through the holes hang the light . just have to turn the wingnuts to ajust the hight on eighter side of the reflector till you get it where you want it. works great for a one handed person. might have to figer out how to motorise. cuz i am lazy. mostly when baked but that is when i come up with the best ideas on new projects. sorry no pics. no camera
the best part is that the shelf & the threded rod are both ajustable.the whole cabnet is on caster wheels so it is easly moved from room to room

Actually, for a good 30yr, yeah, that sounds about right to me. Let the floor fall out from under me (well, not on that one side of the house, it's probably a 25' drop to the bottom), but keep a good roof over my head!

there are cheaper shingles , You can get 15 yr shingles ,, and the cost is a little less but if its YOUR house .. why chinz doit once do it right , be done with it .. Ive been doing a lot of metal roofs ... those are 50 - 100 year lifespans .. Thats when you only get that roof 1 time .. if done right it will outlive its owner
