A tour of my Products and Garage *23 PICS - 56k BEWARE*

[C. Charles Hahn]

I decided I might as well take pics (for this as well as other forums) of my product collection and garage since I was organizing the other night.



I still have to pull everything back out again to do spring cleaning once I get all the winter crap out of there (still 2 snowblowers, some shovels, and other miscelaneous seasonal tools taking up space). So, here goes. Keep in mind I was missing most of my towels (as you can see, I`ve got several ready to go to the washing machine) and such, but it`s a basic idea.

What are the Hometex MFs? Is that a Wal-Mart brand, or do you order them online?



Neat garage and set-up.

Close. They`re actually from Sam`s Club. They come in an 18 pack for like $15 or so. :D



Thanks.

I really like the hometex microfibers. I got some from walmart last night 8 for $4.97. They are very nice for a OTC general purpose mf.

agreed! the hometex mf`s are nice & plush and even after many washings, they still hold up as well as the more expensive ones i have. i wouldn`t normally use just any otc mf`s on the paint, but these i would. :up

Really? I didn`t know they had the same ones at Wal Mart -- I thought they only had those blue/white 5 packs.



Not that it matters; I`m enough impressed with these for paint use that I`ll end up with another 18 pack from Sam`s next time I`m there. They`re cheap enough I might start giving them away to customers with a small bottle of QD spray or something.

Those pads need to be stored in something! :D Don`t keep them like that. m2c
