    Roll up door adjustment

    I have the same 2500 series doors. I think it is the same as yours where the drive gear only catches about half the ring gear on the door. I can't remember (a year ago) if I eliminated those spacers or not. My doors were mounted using the heavy duty plates for steel jambs and had slots . Yours...

    Residential electrical switch box covers: why not Phillips?

    Ground pin down. It acts like a stiff leg to support the cord. Also look at how a refrigerator cord is made.

    Good adjustable receiver hitch?

    How many different height trailers do you pull regularly? You only mention one trailer. Buy the correct length drop hitch or two and be done with it. I've seen a lot of fancy couplers on 100k dollar trucks that probably never get readjusted for different trailers height. Mostly just a status...

    Chain breakers..

    From OP's OP "but don't really want to drop a couple hundred bucks or more on a bench unit." All I was saying is if you know which one to get then get that one. Cost don't matter when you are working on airplanes. Sometimes you have to buy specialty tools that cost specialty money.

    Airframe? Stop being cheap and buy the appropriate tool.

    Residential electrical switch box covers: why not Phillips?

    Actually more torque can be applied with a *slotted screw as compared to a Phillips. *with a proper fitting screwdriver. ETA Switch plates get vertical while receptacles get horizontal. this is non negotiable .

    Deciding on best lift for my purposes

    Can you go more in to detail on the LWB crew cab and why it would be sketchy?

    What would you call this?

    Ah. Yeah that's a bit far for the guys I know.

    What would you call this?

    I have a couple places. PM me where you're at. Austin to Houston, somewhere in between is a long ways. But yeah that's river rock. Smooth rounded rocks. What are you using it for? It's not good for driveways because it wont pack. It's too round and will just roll around.

    Light bulbs for attics

    Or just look at the switch. It says on and off. Thats a pretty good indicator. 20 years ago when I built our home I put a switch in the hall and a porcelain keyless fixture screwed to a 2x4 brace in the attic. I wouldn't worry about type of bulb. It should only be on while you're up there. If...

    CT meter accuracy if missized?

    Do they not have self contained 400A (320)up there? Why CT type metering? We reserved the CT type metering for commercial stuff well over 400A Before we had 400A self contained there were and still are some residential CT's but those were huge mansion type houses in the rich area downtown...

    Do rodents chew PEX pipe?

    moles or gophers? At work (POCO) weve had marks like that from squirrels on H taps, sidegrooves, wire ..... Almost looked like someone was trimming limbs and the chainsaw cut into it or like a roughcut grinder attacked it.

    Stihl fs55rc

    If it's inherited the owner probably took it off. I took mine off on my 56. It did nothing anyway and was in the way when you turned the trimmer sideways.

    Stihl fs55rc

    I bought a Stihl saw blade for my 56. No handlebars, cheap weedeater. Why does the dealer need to install it? Unscrew the normal string head, put saw blade on it. They are left hand threaded. You have to buy the kit to adapt it too. Cup, washer, nut. The dealer did stress that he is NOT...
