We have a small "island" of flagstone around two shepherds hooks with bird feeders on them, and I used polymeric sand between the flagstone twice. Didn't work. The moles will come and push it up or the weeds will come through eventually. We just had our front porch and sidewalk replaced and...

We have estate sales here, but they all operate differently. One high end one comes in and sells what she can, and when the sale is over, she leaves. Everything not sold stays there. Another sells what he can, but after the sale, everything left belongs to him. He hauls it to his warehouse...

I moved here in 2008 when we got married. Moved about 40 miles south of where I lived before, enlisted the help of a couple friends. Rented the largest Uhaul straight truck I could and we loaded it twice with everything. Luckily, the new house has a 24x40 shop where everything was stored...

If you know the brand, call the mfr. I've called Delta a number of times for my kitchen faucet to get new aerators and recently a new handle. Many carry a lifetime warranty.

Can you post a picture of your system? I've got a water softener, but the slimey iron still gets through.

I bought one of those security safe boxes one time that needed a key. The box looks like a very small suitcase with a handle and is fireproof. I took it to a locksmith to have two keys made. $25. Ouch. Much more than I paid for the box. But I'm still using it today. That was years ago. For...

Mine works a bit differently. I have a timed pump on the water heater that will push the hot water to the kitchen sink, pushing hot water back through the cold water line. I have used this system for at least 20 years from my other house, and now this house. I time it for a couple hours for...

Toro Power Clear is what I've used for years without any problems, but I paid about half what they're selling for now, and I bought mine new. https://www.toro.com/en/product/38752

I bought two rolls of visqueen at Menard's and hung it from the ceiling of my shop with 10' ceilings. I circled the double sided part, raised the double door and hung more visqueen from the door to floor. I used a box fan for exhaust and it worked fine. The picture shows it before I unfolded...

I worked in a chemical factory for 40 years, and all the glass in the control rooms, offices, lunch rooms, etc. had this glass. Fire rating I guess, but also if an explosion happened, I guess it could help contain small flying items.

It also works as an air fryer. Look at the pictures; it has a 'long press air frying' button. I don't know about cooking my burritos in the bathroom, though.

I put my 75k Big Maxx in the rear corner at a 45* angle pointing to the far corner. I mainly work nearest the heater where the double door is, it points toward the single door of the 24x40 shop. Metal shop with 6" in the ceiling and 1.5 styrofoam in the walls with osb covering. It does pretty...

Sounds to me like that outfit doesn't specialize in installing doors. We had a door installer come, and one man replaced the whole front door of our house and the other replaced both single garage doors by himself in less than eight hours, and that included removing the old doors and loading...

That's the kind of thing that really p*sses me off. No one takes responsibility for what they've done. I'd be tempted to dig a small hole and dump liquid concrete in there until it's completely filled, then when the neighbor has problems with their electrics, say the previous owner did that...
