    Best deals on M18 batteries?

    Yes. At Walmart. Walmart.com to be specific. It may be fulfilled by a 3rd party (like Amazon), but the transaction goes through Walmart, and any issues would be handled through Walmart. Interesting, it shows as a totally different fulfillment place to me. FWIW, I bought a few 12V...

    Drywall Finish Costs - Mud and Tape

    This. Just moved out of a house I was in for 19 years. IN the past couple of years, I renovated all of the bathrooms, which involved a lot of drywall work. The garage was a wreck, I tore out a lot of teh drywall that was there to make it cleaner (I had run 240V throughout for my lift, a mill...

    Suggestions for Replacement Mesh WiFi Router System

    We have the eero, and it hasn't quite been as simple for us, but once the kinks were worked out, it has been. First, the modem we have is also wireless. Can't set it up using the same name as you use for the eero, or the devices get confused. So now we have King for the modem, and Kingdom for...

    exhaust manifold studs stripped - best way to remove?

    Absolute worse case scenario....after using heat and a penetrant with an E-Torx socket. Stack washers on the stud, and torque it down where the threads are still intact. Class 10.9 M8's have a 26 lb-ft torque spec.

    I live in Florida, do I want gas?

    There's a saying you read a lot over in the tool section: Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. One thing I will say is that a gas water heater will save you a ton of money over a resistor element one. Now, conversely, if you have a heat pump water heater, those...

    Shed - Build, buy, or DIY "kit." Any input appreciated

    Yeah, sorry that was ambiguous. I just mean final positioning. Where I put it will be a compromise. I'd like it set back from te front of the house, but the property line isn't parallel, so it'd be getting "pinched" and then come into play with a small porch for my grill off that side. So I...

    Shed - Build, buy, or DIY "kit." Any input appreciated

    Normally I would, but like I said, at some point, I'll be too old to do the maintenance, and won't need the stuff, and I will likley want to 86 the shed. If I could put it in a back corner of our property, not a problem. But I can't because it is below the elevation TVA will allow improvements...

    Shed - Build, buy, or DIY "kit." Any input appreciated

    You know, that's actually a really freaking good idea. I could absolutely do that. That's a REALLY, REALLY good idea. Could have the shed sit street side, and the Deere on the lake side. Far enough up from the lake, and covered, so it won't really look that noticeable. That makes the shed...

    Detailed load calculator (attic storage)

    Yes, most of the rules of thumb would say the same size you came up with. I was looking at 1 ton, most were saying 1.5 ton. But the reason I'm questioning this is that they all look at square footage, none of them look at volume. My 1000SF room has the same volume of air as a 500SF room...

    Shed - Build, buy, or DIY "kit." Any input appreciated

    Sorry for any ambiguity in my original post. Price isn't the top priority, so I'm not considering using scraps and piecing it together. I don't want to spend a ton of money, but when I say that I mean I don't want to just throw a ton of money at it. Not saying I'm trying to be cheap. I'd...
