I'm still not hitting on eight cylinders. I've had the flu for the past week.
I'm much better the past few days, but not 100%.
Thank you for your positive thoughts, the remedies you sent and "Get Well" wishes!
The Estate Sale
Last issue I talked about my upcoming journey to Cincinnati, OH to help liquidate my in-laws estate.
If you live in / near Cincinnati, OH or have relatives / friends, etc. there, you should REALLY send them the following links.
I've listed this fantastic furniture for sale about 20% of what it would cost NEW.
This is NOT crap furniture like you now see at stores. This is all amazing stuff, much of it made by real craftsmen here in the USA over 50 years ago.
My job is to sell all of their stunning furniture. My sister has seen it and knows it's top drawer.
The past few days I had enough energy to create the listings on Craigslist.
I'm sorry that I don't have more photos for you, but rest assured you'll be seeing some fantastic stuff if you decide to come look and buy.
CLICK HERE to see all but one of the items.
CLICK HERE to see some amazing bookshelves and cabinets that for some reason don't show up in the search.
If you have interest in any of these items, you SHOULD REALLY set an appointment with me NOW to see / buy.
It's first-come first-served. I'll be able to meet you starting next Thursday, March 2nd.
Woodprix dot com Reminder
I wanted to remind you once again about a very unethical website. It's called woodprix dot com.
They continue to generate countless fake YouTube accounts and have a robot that comes and SPAMS the comments in my videos trying to get you to buy their stuff.
They're bad hombres.
LAST CALL for True Value Paint Rebate
This is a LAST CALL reminder for you to go out and buy the cans of True Value paint.
You MUST MAKE your purchase by February 28th - next Tuesday - for the rebate coupons to work for you.
I thought you'd go out tomorrow or this weekend to make the purchases of:
- X-O Rust spray paint - or quarts / gallons
- EasyCare interior paint
Why should you do this? What's in it for you?
1. It's a great paint and the rebate offers are spectacular.
2. If this promotion is a success, there's a possibility you'll start to see many more how-to videos of me showing how to use amazing products I love.
You'd be able to watch all the videos FOR FREE.
True Value is TESTING to see if YOU follow my advice and react about GREAT PRODUCTS.
If you come through, buy some of the paint and send in for the rebates, then they may continue to expand and work with me.
You have MUCH TO GAIN from this, believe me.
This means you need to do just one thing this weekend:
Go to your CLOSEST True Value hardware store and buy some of the X-O Rust paint or the EasyCare.
CLICK HERE NOW to find your closest True Value store.
Comments Please?
I could also use your feedback on the two True Value paint videos.
Can you watch the two videos below and send a REPLY back to me what you thought about them?
Seriously, please watch the two videos and then click REPLY and write me a short note as to what you thought about the paints.
I'd REALLY like to know what you thought about the X-O Rust test panels that went through the 200-hour salt fog test!!!!
Both paints were a dream to work with.
Thanks!

Amazing CLEAR Sealant
I had to repair my enclosed trailer this week before the trip to Cincinnati. It had developed a pesky leak up in the roof where the aluminum roof panels are seamed.
The trailer had silicone caulk on the seams and it had failed.
I went to my local lumberyard and discovered a newer clear magic sealant that appears to be far better than silicone.
It's:
- clear
- sticky
- made for roof repairs and ?????
- sticks to ANYTHING
- workable down to 0F
The manufacturer says you can even apply it to WET surfaces and it sticks. I didn't try that, but will.
You may want to buy a tube of this and have it around.
It's called Through the Roof.
If you get some and use it, only squirt out about one foot and then TOOL IT with your finger covered in some soapy water.
A Few Column Revisions
Because of the flu and a bunch of other things I needed to do before the Cincinnati, OH adventure, I didn't get many revisions done. Here are two:
