I'm seriously considering getting one of those propane mosquito traps but the thing that's stopping me is I really don't want to have to refill propane tanks just to use the trap. I ran some google searches to see if anyone makes the same mosquito trap that runs off natural gas instead but...

I'm sure this topic has been discussed before. I know most would suggest radiant barrier but I'm actually not particularly interested in it especially considering I have roofing nails all over sticking through the decking. I live in Texas and the a/c system is in an uninsulated attic. As...

The service manual says 253. I have observed the incoming voltage getting that high a couple times before.

I fully realize most people here would say just hire an electrician and I'm willing to do that if no one feels comfortable providing input. I need to install a buck-boost transformer for my ac condenser because the incoming voltage from my electric company is too high, usually hovers around...

I don't want battery powered drills anymore so I'm looking into purchasing a new corded drill. Are there any still made in the USA? If not, are there at least some NOT made in china? I've been looking at the Hilti UD16 or UD30 pretty hard but I still don't know where are they're manufactured...

Hello all, my first post to this forum. I wanted to ask if some of you could recommend a newer digital 12v battery charger that can handle traditional batteries, AGM, deep-cycle charging, can also do jump starts, and desulfation or regeneration. Basically helping restore older dead batteries...
