How can I electrify my dog kennel with the chain link wire? I have a breeding billy goat that gets out of everything. After remodeling his pen 50 times I gave up and bought a dog run for him so he can't jump out or break out. He loves hitting his head and now hes stretching my chain link wire. How can I electrify this kennel like a electric fence so he will stop busting out with his hard head.

I am interested in making my own soil heating cables and I was wondering if anyone know how to go about this?
I have a basic concept of what they do but I am little fuzzy on some things like what resistors to use and what gauge of wire to use, basically some math and some practical experience.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

He has several types of big saws, and all the little power tools-drills, dremels (sp?), power sanders and the like. He is good at woodworking, but I don't think he has many woodworking type tools. Any guy or girl out there who enjoys working with tools, what tools are you glad you own, or what tools are on your wish list??

Thanks!

Howdy,

As anyone used this "Shelflink" system of attaching 2 X 4's for the purpose of making an easy/sturdy shelving system?
If so - any pros/cons/thoughts?

Here's a link to one of these systems:

I have heard "Bullseye" will work, but need to be sure whatever product I use will not flake off and I will be able to clean the surface paint. That is my problem with the vinyl. It has been there for 30 years and has yellowed. Nothing I have used will clean it.

I was looking around online, and didn't have much luck. What I am trying to find is a space heater for garage (workplace) for the cold months. The heater has to be flameless and sparkless, as I'll be working with a lot of solvents in the garage. (Remodeling a ski boat during the winter)
Anyone in Y!A have experience with the type of heater I'm looking for? Recommendations?
