Hi,
I plan to cover part of my yard with gravel to cut down on dust in the dry
season and mud in the rainy season. I have just heard that there is some kind
of mat that I can put down to keep weeds from growing up through the gravel.
Has anyone ever used this stuff? Can you tell me it's

As far as I am concerned, the Mountain Dew method of getting rid of hornets

Robert, using both jigs, is dangerous! You can not keep them moving
precisely together, which will cause the wood to bind, resulting in not a
very pleasant happening!
If your mitre square, is long enough, sometimes you can reverse it. Make
sure that you have enough support at either end.

You can buy very large miter gauges complete with blocks for multiple

precise and they cost like stink!
You could use two miter gauges but this would only really help you much if

If you're installing a rural mailbox, make sure to

Most of the GM cars I have owned did not have much above the headliner to
staple anything to except the roof and I don't think that would work out
very well. (LOL)

If the cloth falls down it is usually glued to a panel that has a little
space between it and the roof. the panel is thin and is made of some
material that a staple will go through easally. If you reach up and the head
liner feels a bit spungy, that spungy feel is some type of adhesive.
Cy one more thing
It is not actually the head liner itself that falls because that is a pretty
well formed panel. The problem is that the cloth comes unglued from the
liner itself.
