I have one of these attached to my Greenworks Tool 80v string trimmer. It says to not use it with electric trimmers but mine has the power to do the job. It seems to cut through any thing. https://www.lowes.com/pd/TrimmerPlus-Brush-Cutter-Attachment/50129056

I’ve reported thefts many times but have never gotten anything back. Besides keeping a large barky dog in your garage, do whatever you can do to slow the thief down. If the thief is taking too much time to break in, they get discouraged and move on to an easier place.

I have about a dozen of this type of cabinet to hold my hardware.

Is there a way to move them out of the way to drive a car through?

Put down a sheet of Masonite first to even out the irregularities in your top. Then put your sheet metal over that.

I’m in nearby Raleigh. You should be able to do anything you want to your house as long as you own it and live in it. This includes plumbing and electrical. The problem can come when a potential home buyer has an inspection done and they find something questionable. If the work was permitted...

Cardboard is a great solution. Sometimes I use one of the plastic cord winders for extension cords. Something like this is only $6...

Many older vehicles used fatter spark plugs that used a 15/16" socket. There are special deep sockets with the small hole and foam lining to keep you from breaking the spark plug. This looks like a compromise to make a regular deep socket also work for spark plugs.

I got this same Gilmour months ago and love it. Apparently I paid too much.

Sometimes the transformer goes bad. I recently replaced my transformer as it was packed with ants. I bought a new transformer from Volt Lighting that does not have any vents on the side. Happy lights.

I agree with Northislander, the Moen Flo is what you need. I installed not only the main water valve, but have ten water detectors around the house under toilets and sinks. I installed this system after having a few water leaks that left some damage to the house. I had a 40-year old copper pipe...
