If you have high ceilings like 16' I would install 4lamp T-5 fixtures which are great for cold start. The T-8's are good for -15 approx, and are more cost affective than the T-5's.

Screwed up when I said Woseley, it was Westbourne electric supply. Went online and couldn't understand why everything was plumbing, then I went to satelite mapping and saw that they are neighbours and it was probably woseley's parking lot that I was in. At this point I think I'll stick with the Princess auto shop lite due to the amount of abuse they will see. They sell for $20 a can right now and that's in my budget. As for shop lights in a 16' building ballast resistors sell for anywhere from $12 - $160 depending what your actually looking for. Did a lot of clean up but didn't work on shelter, that's tommorrows project.

Jon,

I don't know whatshippingwould be, but you might want to check with these folks here :: Manual Transmissions, Differentials, Transfer Cases | ZBAG
A few years back they got a few hundred (as I recall) entire T-Bird IRS assemblies - all brand new including subframe, control arms, springs, axles, differential, brakes, etc... They were letting them go dirt cheap for a few hundred bucks.
They may still have some around.
Might be worth a call...

Had a new hot water tank installed yesterday. Man this city is crazy. Calling around at 9:00 AM, most folks wouldn't be able to show up till Monday. One company wouldn't do a quote over the phone, but they were available, so I had them out. Quote was $4200!!! I sent that nice man away.
Finally got a recommendation from a friend, a gasfitter who does this work on the side. He showed up around supper-time, put the new one in, hooked it up nd took the old one away. If anyone wants his number, shoot me a message. Nice guy.

Been there done that sevevty seven. 2 years ago starting December 2 2012 the landlord had a guy come in to reno my bathroom, "will be done in 3 weeks". I moved back in January 28, 2013, found a garbage bag of beer cans in the backyard and moldy pizza and chinese food under the cusions of my covered couch. Roofing by Rob, Rob's renovations, he lives in Dover.Had visitors showing up for a couple of weeks afterwards "guy said I could come over and drink". Easy win for landlord in small claims.

On a more positive note, got my Giant Tiger online flyer, they're pushing the ducks unlimited clothing line. Camouflage thermal long johns and t shirt, hmmm, can't wait to run through the bush in a set of camoflage thermals. Think any bears would see me.

My neighbours are doing a good job of fattening me up this year. Lent Horst a pair of C-clamps and a hold down strap so he could operate his meat grinder and meat mixer. Came back with some killer German sausages, smothered them with banana chilli and worchester sauce and a shotglass of water and turned on the stove. Cats can get their own as these are to good to share.
Hope that's not a nuclear reactor your moving Puddy, protect it well if it is, I hear the Iranians are looking to replace the ones our southern brethren "fixed" for them.

Morning Everyone,
So much for the end.
I was sent directly to ft. Mcmurray.
Highways were a little dicey.
