I painted my mother in laws shutters a couple of years ago with Krylon Colormaxx spray paint. "Paint and primer" indoor +outdoor. Put 2 coats on although one covered well. I was at her house this morning they still look great.

I was told by my builder 15 years ago when my detached was constructed drains weren't allowed because of environmental concerns. Accidents happen. I had an ATF line break on my car once and left quite of bit of fluid on the floor before I could get it to stop. I'm sorry to hear about your...

I have a craftsman air ratchet with the same issue. Same model number. I didn't try to repair it yet. Here is a Blue Point with what looks like the same valve as mine has. http://www.daves-workshop.com/2014/05/20-year-old-blue-point-air-ratchet.html I couldn't find anything else when searching.

I used 2-2-2-4 SER ordered from Homedepot on February 28. I checked a couple times a day because they had a small amount in stock and sold quickly. I paid $1.50 a foot shipping included. Now it's $2.40. A lot of other places were around $3. per foot...

I had a 75' pull through 1-1/2 conduit with 2-90° bends. I used MHF 2-2-4-6. thought it was going to be difficult. My wife and I had it done in 10 minutes with no lube.

I did something like this under my basement steps. (This picture isn't mine) (
