Never heard of a honed slab. Are you referring to a polished slab like Home Depot floors?

We picked up an $80 bag of dog food for about $55 and delivered at that.

I bought a new wire harness presumably with fresh smoke. I have yet to test the assumption but I won't make the same mistake twice even as interesting the event was.

In the end I couldn't get either to work as when newer but the company did replace one of them after much effort. I haven't tested to compare the new to old generation yet.

Or This, also trusses.

Unfortunately concrete has very low tensile strength and that relates to bending conditions too. Two post lifts bother me due to overturning that results bending in the slab or footing so I'd say that would be driving the rebar recommendations. Rebar is highly effective in resisting tension...

Mine have all been British motorbikes for all those years and two remain in the garage. No issues. Funny how the rumors circulate because none of them leaked oil either until I fixed things that weren't broken.

I never had an issue with Lucas in almost 50 years until the smoke got out of the wires on my Triumph when the saddle fell and the metal seat pan shorted the charger alligator clips on the battery. It turned out to be a very effective way to strip the insulation from the wires. In retrospect, a...

The several recommendations to abandon and start fresh sound good. I never vouched for a pole building because sticking wood in the ground assumes a limited lifespan in my point of view. My cedar fence rotted and fell over. Many telephone poles in my town are in trouble and being systematically...

Attempted to get vehicle differential fill plugs out and found my set of hex plug sockets skipped 10mm. There was an empty space in the box! So chased around town, ended up at HD to get one "made in Taiwan, finished in China" for $5. How is that possible? Lost ambition and decided to hike the...

You need a Professional Structural Engineer or take those trusses off and start over, but you might very well have to do that anyways. It might be worth a couple hour consultation to decide on a direction. You are not doing yourself any favors spitballing a solution. Any Building Inspector in...

It seems new owners of companies go in with different intentions. I've seen it in my trade and medical offices many times.

I blew it all out with compressed air.

My TS4000 has recently developed an odd flame pattern. It is generally clean of debris and anything that would seem to be the matter. I spent a significant amount of time trying to set a warranty claim through but headway is tedious and questionable at this point. Any ideas on what might be the...

Not intending to drain vehicle engine oil, only equipment without bottom drains. I have ValvoMax drains on the vehicle oil pans and it doesn't get much easier than that and it avoids cleaning an evacuator tank.
