We have a walk-out basement with 9' ceilings. My builder recommended block because all of the local subs were set up to pour 8' (maybe even shorter) walls. He claimed that it would be very...

Come on over. I bet we could find something to talk about.

I think I'll try that this weekend - I have a spare nozzle that should work fine.

Do you order by phone or on the web? I didn't look very hard, but it looked like they wanted a tax ID to prove that you were a company.

Does anybody have experience with with air compressor auto-drains? It looks like they come in at least 3 styles - float valve, electric timer and electronic time. I would think that it is a good...

I always used 1 liter = 61 cu in. It makes it easy to do many of the conversions in your head.

Yes, its amazing how much further you get if you are polite appreciative and interested. I'm hoping to be around when the inspector comes, just in case a minor correction is needed. PSNH says to...

I was at PSNH's web site this morning and found a new document - it turns out that it is the customer's responsibility to install the meter base, but they will provide it. Sometimes I wish learning...

PSNH doesn't let me have that bit of fun. The customer has to provide the conduit, meter socket, grounding and a pull cord. They pull the cable from the pole. Just laying the conduit has been a...

I finally managed a trip to an electrical supply house today. The counter guy was surprised when I asked for a meter base with 3" knock-outs. He double checked with the boss and he said I was right...

I used to work for a network equipment manufacturer and I had a good reseller based in Brisbane. I have a lot of friends from that relationship, several of them around Brisbane, some more in...

Thanks. I was already planning on two separate boxes. I'll do some more looking for a meter box with 3" knockouts. I looked at one at HD and it didn't go that big. I found one on the net with...

I'm installing dedicated (not from the house) underground service for a new barn/shop and have a question.

PSNH requires 3" conduit, which I've installed per PSNH URD Conduit Installation (and its...

Turbo-charged diesels are also handy in the mountains - they maintain power at high elevations much better than non-turbo (gasoline) engines.

Neil,

I have a Tacoma 4x4 Double Cab with the 3.4 V6 and automatic transmission. It has enough power for my needs (as long as I don't need to trailer the L48). The double cab hasn't been...

We have a cat that is crazy about water. In this picture, somebody left the water running in the kitchen sink for a few minutes and he decided to play. If we don't put the toilet seat cover down,...

Great! I hope to put mine to use in the near future. They are pouring the floor in my barn/shop tomorrow! The boy and I just have to finish siding, wiring, lighting, insulation, wallboard and...

How much resaw capacity are you looking for?
I have a Laguna 16HD, but haven't yet done any resawing and it probably doesn't pass the "reasonable price" test. Check out Laguna Tools - the video is...

I've recently been researching dust collection for my new shop. Cyclone Dust Collector has a lot of good information.

Our wood floors are even simpler than that. TJI beams with plywood decking. 2x3 stringers with foam insulation foil side up and tubes on top. Flooring nailed to the stringers. Oak downstairs, fir...

<font color="blue"> I really like the hydronic heating but I also like wooden floors, not the expensive once</font color>

Hydronic works just find in wooden floors. About half of my floors are...

I agree with Argee. I was really amazed when we moved into our house 10 years ago at how even the heat is. On the flip side, my mom lived with us one winter and didn't like it just because there...

Wow /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif its unanimous - I'll just buy a bottle of oil. Thanks to everyone.

Thanks. What kind of oil do I need? The impact wrench calls for some Ingersoll-Rand oil (of course) and I bet I can't find that easily...

I recently bought my first real air tools, an impact wrench and air hammer. I'm trying to figure out whether or not to install an oiler in the air line or just oil the tools. They will get pretty...
