Pat, I chose the same light, with flourescent bulbs, for my current house as an experiement before I put up several in the house we will be building. I love the look, and they are sufficiently...

/forums/images/icons/blush.gif Wow, time sure flies when you're having fun. I had no idea it has been that long since I checked in here. I hope you're still around and it's not too late...

Personally, I love the old post-mounted grills. Very likely the primary brand you had was Broilmaster or Warm Morning, the same grill, but Warm Morning was the predecessor name. The other...

/forums/images/icons/blush.gif Oops, here's the picture.

Here's another with a totally different look; it has a granite countertop.

The particular example I picked had a stucco front, certamic tile counter top, and slate tiles on the back, under a cantilevered bar. This is the back view.

Up until I retired a couple of years ago, I was in the business of building custom outdoor kitchens. We sold natural gas grills to everyone who had NG available; they are a heck of a lot more...

Sorry this is so late; I don't log in all that often. But, the $7 limit orders for Scottrade IS very new; around the first of the year. It's really a good deal; my wife never used limit orders...

Here's a picture of my pressure tank. It's right next to the well. Mine is pretty big; they are most often a lot smaller, but are still about 3' tall. The purpose is to pressurise the system so...

If the largest contributor to the septic tank is the laundry, check with your local health department to see if they permit laundry waste water to be drained separate from the septic tank, and what...

<font color="blue"> Someday you might want to set up a drag bucket on a cable and use your tractor to pull out silt from where the track hoe can't reach. </font color>

Essentially, what Weber does is take their conventional, cart-mounted Summit grills, and make a slide-in enclosure for them. The grill is mounted in the enclosure instead of on a cart. This not...

<font color="blue"> Hey Mysticokra, my daughter and soninlaw bought a farm house with hardiplank and their home owners insurance covers it the same as steel siding.</font color>

<font color="blue"> Don, rather than buy those expensive shears you mentioned, I saw some in Home Depot that were made by Porter Cable for $199.</font color>

Yes, I have seen the Porter Cable...

This final attachment shows a completed outdoor kitchen. While not strictly related to the HardiPlank lap siding, I think these give some idea of how great the stuff is. Properly applied and...

This attachment shows a collage of assembly pictures -- the base installed; the aluminum cabinet installed with a HardiPanel on the base; the HardiPanel skin installed, and the cabinet with all of...

Hmm. I'm seeing some misinformation in some of the posts. I have a lot of experience with HardiPlank and HardiPanel (4'x8' sheets). We used to use the HardiPanel as an underlayment for the custom...

Whoops! Here I am. Has the party started already? Hope I'm not too late... /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

Portable tanks, those that have the letters "D.O.T" stamped on the collar, have to be inspected periodically. Permanently mounted tanks (large ones, and the ones mounted on RV's, for example) are...

Bird, that sounds right tasty. I never tried a brisket before I got in the BBQ grill business, but I kept reading about Texan's favorite BBQ meat. Now, it's not something I do often (because it...

My CFO uses a bread machine, also, and has very few failures. She goes to a lot of meetings where people contribute a dish, and they always ask her, "Bring your bread!" The biggest problem is when...

You should have waved as you went past. I've been remodeling our commercial property to get it ready to sell, and I can see the Turnpike from where I'm sitting. I'm in Port St. Lucie, about 10...

Think about tectonic plates and what causes earthquakes, and apply it to a much smaller scale. In stress, the segments push towards each other, and one has to rise, just like the earth's plates. In...

I initially set up on AmeriTrade, but when my wife opened a Scottrade account, it opened my eyes. AmeriTrade had changed some of the rules after I first went with them and was no longer as good a...
