    We used to get his show on our local pbs (public television) station. i find the show entertaining but not educational.

    We get some, but not enough, Canadian content here. I.e., Corner gas, How it's made etc. i see no reason why we shouldn't.

    Anybody else remember the "Adventures with Bill" segment where Bill was fibbing about building the Canadian Pacifc Railway?

    Bill: Yep, I helped string the tracks all the way across this great country...

    Red: Gandy dancer?

    Bill, shocked, hurt and confused look: Can't you see it's a painful memory?

    My favorite one was where he claimed to be descended from Anastasia (the heir to the Russian throne)

    Bill: And that's why she never liked Russian dressing.

    And I wouldn't have to wear my tinfoil hat, at least in the shop.

    :D
    Damned I miss Red Green here on PBS. Cancelled. Them dadburned city slickers over in that Gater college town just don't git it!
    I got my grandkids in Illinois hooked on that show years ago. Daughter nearly killed me!
    Still got nearly 200 episodes in my computer and on DVD's in case I need to check how to fix somethin around here. Not handsome, but almost as handy as checkin the H.A.M.B.;)

    You sir, may be a redneck!
    Guffaw.
    Nice post, but your shed / garage / workshop is worrying clean - me thinks you probably spend way too much vacuum cleaner time.

    Good idea. Make sure you don't get too close and **** away your shielding gas. Also to make it one more step safer you could probably run it without the filter and there is nothing left to catch a spark and ignite.

    Hey, I'm from Denmark, and Red Green is a hero of mine! :) I love the episode where he makes barbeque sauce... And the one where they try to build a tunnel under the lake using old gasoline tanks!

    I've been called a redneck lots of times, I am a farmer.

    The "new" shop is less that a year old and you are probably right about keeping it too clean, at least until the newness wears off. Building the shop was a project that kept me from working on my cars for 2 years.

    One of my favorite Red Green episodes is when he made power windows for his car by using a kitchen mixer. Put one side of the mixer on the window regulator to lower it, the other side of the mixer to raise it up!

    I could tell you are a farmer because nearly all insulated farm machine sheds are inner walled with steel. Good idea with the vac.

    Never even heard of this Red Green guy. I gotta feelin' I've been missing something. That gull-wing door video was great!

    I like Kids in the Hall too. And the old SCTV stuff is awesome!

    Oh...and good tech too!
