I tried a different product called SNIRT stopper. https://www.snirtstopper.com I used the vinyl/ plastic previously and I could never get a good seal. It's a little spendy and I've only had it up about a month, but I like the way it seals. The large gaps I had on the sides and top are gone. My...

The SDS drill with new bit did the trick. I bought the least expensive one on Amazon and it drilled the holes very quickly. For a limited homeowner use it will probably be all I ever need. ENEACRO 1-1/4 Inch SDS-Plus 12.5 Amp Heavy Duty Rotary Hammer Drill, Safety Clutch 3 Functions with...

I don't know anything about rock or how to ID it, all I can say it is a dark red color and really tough to drill. It does seem to be fairly common in this area.(el paso tx)

I am trying to drill 5/16 holes in a rock wall for mounting conduit. Using a 1/2 in. hammer drill, tried a couple types of masonry bits but no luck. I get about 1/4inch deep and it is extremely slow. Any ideas on the type of bit or procedure I should be using? Thanks, Chuck

wife always said I would be more effective if i used more than one finger LOL©

In the Q and A portion it states that the body of the box along with the top is 1 mm thick while the drawers are .8mm thick. I am not sure how that equates to the gauge of steel.

I installed the Rheem in 2008. We already had the 3/4 gas line all the previous statements are fairly accurate. Ours is Located near our master suite and utility room so hot water is quick. It is a long way to the kitchen tap so we have to deal with that issue. We are on a well and have a water...

I have to chime in with a part in this from El Paso. My swamp is on the roof of my shop. Drag out the 32 ft ladder, Every year at least new pads probably a pump, leaks, the roof looks bad. Ever drive around and look at alot of homes with poorly maintained coolers, even the newer roofs look bad...

I have a Rheem (8yrs)and we are on a well. I had previously invested in a water softener as well as a RO system for drinking water. The other appliances, ice makers, washer, dish washer etc benefit from the softener as well the tankless system. Previous provided info is good guidance. Chuck

I installed a Rheem in 2008, it was about $850 and I got the tax break. Love the unit but as stated before, location is important. Ours is near the master bath and laundry which is great in the shower. But the kitchen sink is on the other end so we waste some water on that end. I am on a well...

I just added my name to the list. This rookie needs to learn a new skill.

I have bought this same exact deal from Tanga and I received them in about 2 weeks. As far as gloves go I thought they were a gimmick just to promo a brand but the price was right so I bit. I have been very happy with the snap on gloves. I watch for them to go on sale a keep a couple of pair on...

I installed mine in a very thin metal garage door 12x20-I think. It faces the southwest. Here in El Paso thats definitly the sunny side. Before prodex I would roast anywhere near the door, in the winter the shop was always cold. Now you can feel the difference. Not scientific but a seat of the...

Nice score, I just looked at your handle"Richard" creative. I have always been told I have cranial rectumitis.

I looked at your pix again and realized that you have a signal with a countdown timer indication. I am not sure you can make that portion work,however the hand/man should still work. Typically the hand fails first because it is active most of the time.
