    1966 F100 EcoBoost Engine Swap (EcoBoosted)

    Paint the LS3 Ford blue, slap a ford sticker on it, stuff it in the truck, tell everyone that its a new prototype and 90% of the general population will not know the difference! And I was getting ready to send you the can of blue engine paint.....

    Beam above garage is sagging...

    Looks like the first couple of bottom rows of siding are sagging also. Cantilevered room over a 16 ft door might be more than that beam can handle. I can't believe a home inspector would miss that. I'd think that would be a major repair.

    Sometimes I just want to face Punch our GC....

    Good conntractors are busy and stay busy. Do they make mistakes? Sure. Sadly, today any guy with a hammer and a pickup tend to call themselves a contractor. Those guys have a lot of time on their hands looking for quick cash jobs so the can finish a poorly executed job and return to the bar or...

    Radio Shack reportedly preparing to shut down.

    A little over a year ago, I went to the local RS looking for a "radio" for my wife to listen to in her horse barn. The kid working the counter asked what I meant. I told him I needed a small AM/FM radio that would plug into an outlet. He looked at me like I was an idiot and told me they don't...

    What's the best product for cleaning windshields

    I used newspaper and Windex for years on inside and outside but a lot of todays vehicles have a fabric like covered piller posts that will smudge from the news print, so no more inside for me.

    Give it to him. You don't really want it, it's old and worn out. Ypu've already stated that you want a new one. Have him come over and help you bring in your new one when you get one. Then he can tell you about his new one and the chump that paid him a grand for your old one! I suspect that is...

    Craftsman Garage Door opener

    Is it making an electrical hum, or is it the motor running with out gear contact? Either way, Rookie2 is probably right unless you're mechanically minded and have lots of time on your hands.

    Check out this home made all-wood car lift!

    In the winter, my house will carry more than a 4000lb load of shingles and snow/ice. Walls are only made up of sheathed 2x6 not 2x10 like his ramp/lift. Should I tear the house down? A $3000 car would work better on this than a $30,000 car, especially if it had a Home Depot sticker on it.
