Trying to put the sheet metal roof on my camper. It has to be cut to
size with tin snips giving edges that could take your arm off. The
sabre saw does an even worse job. It'll be ok in the end but I hate
this stuff.
Boat building was much more fun..


Probably circular saw blades that will do a clean cut.
Not sure, as I never did metal with one, but have done brick/concrete.
Billy Mays shilled something called the Dualsaw, with 2 circular
blades counter-rotating.
But you should be done with the snips by now, so you saved some money.

I got it cut. To make it lay flat, I had to haul a 4 X8 sheet of ply
up on top of the camper. Then I hauled concrete blocks up the ladder
to put on the ply sheet to weight it down, It works but is a PITA.
It is effin hot out. The dogs look at me with those "You aren't going
to make me go out there eyes". They have good sense stayin in the AC..


I got my own recipe for gator aide, you can call it Frogaide.
Crystalite with a shake of salt. No carbs and no calories but it does
have the salt gatoraide has. Tastes like a Margarita.

UNICEF came up with a Pedialyte substitute for underdeveloped countries
where children would die from the shock and convulsions caused from
dehydration resulting from diarrhea.

A gallon of water. The amount of sugar you could capture in your palm with
three fingers. The amount of salt you could pinch up with thumb and two
fingers. I have added flavorings, and when I drink it, I can feel my
muscles bulge up, and not my abdomen like when you just drink too much
water. The water gets out there into the tissue. It increases the uptake
of water through the intestines by 300%. It works, it's cheap. UNICEF
videos would show children in convulsions having this literally poured
slowly down their throats, and be up and walking in half an hour.
