https://www.antennaweb.org is a good site to find directions of stations and their ability to receive relative to your location and elevation. If you have a good antenna, rotor, and are in a valley with lots of multipath signals, you WILL spend lots of time dialing in the directions to get a...

Sign me up. SK Tools is good ****.

Yes, great idea PhysicsDude. I typically use the overhand knot but it has bent one of my cord ends too much.

Interesting fan but just too small for a shop imho. Those small, thick blades seem like they would be noisy too. If you want oscillating then you are pretty limited to smaller ones. If you need air movement, bigger is better. I just did a poor mans ceiling fan this weekend in my un-insulated...

Hazardous waste? It's definitely not classified as a "clean fill" basically because it will leach the asphalt contents. Not being covered with a solid surface and broken down into bits allows more of that washout to happen. Its basically a petroleum product and anything petrol based will...

I've noticed it too. One will also have tons of reviews little on the other. They go thru so many part numbers on their inventory probably just not keeping up or have not migrated/merged them together. Their website is...uh, blah

I gather you have some kind of existing scissor joist there, want to put up 2x6's and have them rest exactly between each joist on the top plates...and you can't push one end of 2x6x18'7" into the eave, lift the other to the opposite wall plate position. Is that kind of what you are trying to...

The image explains clearly what is needed. Typically the outlets and lights are on separate circuits which are home run back to the panel. There's no problem running a light off an outlet source, just expect some light dimming when a heavy load hits the outlet.

If done correctly and with proper gauge cable then it's OK. Highly frowned upon by the power companies because someone always does it wrong. Tips: Work out the proper sequence in advance when the weather is good. Test out everything including panel switches shunting, cable hookup, generator...

Used to be a 2 car garage, now it's a 1 car, 1 workshop. As long as we can get a car in there in the winter then she's fine. She also likes the stove and refrigerator I moved out there when we got new ones. Really helps during the holidays. Cold beer a few steps away from the workbench is a...

I've had a Ridgid WD1450 for 2 years now. Good cheap vac. Not too loud but the hose is a bit short imho. I see now the WD1451 at HD is $120 and adds a smaller hose with their own attachments too. Nice.

Still not on display in my store yet but they were there, boxed, waiting to be put up. Now see a 30, 36, and the 41" all grey with the 24" depth plus a few side cabinets. I'm pretty excited on this new line as I was going to get the original 41" a few weeks back. Now with 24" depth, I...

I didn’t realize the picture said 24” deep drawers. That’s perfect and certainly justifies the price increase.

BTW. The Menards helper said the price will be $569

I finally decided to buy a Masterforce 41" tool chest in black. Only to find out they are "discontinued". Could not order a 41 bottom and have it shipped to the store...which is odd. Green was available in store. Called Menards to figure out why black 11 drawer bottom ships only to home. Got...
