Hi folks. This one will be an unusual topic on this forum.
We have a GE fridge (just a regular kitchen model) with SS doors that had to be
replaced under the contract. Repair was done and I ended up with 2, old, SS doors. They don't look old at all and I was wondering if there is any use for the stainless steel covering. I'm not sure about its thickness or grade but it must be worth something to somebody and just don't want to throw it away. Let me know if can think of any use or if you want it. Thanks.

I would sure save those sheets of SS, I always find uses for it. Wish you were closer to Texas.

What material are people using for the shear pin on the kick up rudder? |

I use a #2 lead pencil into a piece about four or five inches long. I whittled the pencil down so that it would go through the hole in the rudder and stick out about an inch on each side. I then wrapped a rubber band around each end to keep it from working its way out. It's lasted a year and a half. I have had to replace the rubber bands. Not elegant, but functional.
I suppose that if one were concerned about the breaking strength of the #2 lead pencil that one could use a #3 lead pencil. I understand #3s are made from "softer" lead and I guess would break easier in the event of a grounding. Ha!
