In my estimation there is a high degree of probability that the refuse collector is going to spill that oil on the sidewalk/street/lawn/dog. They don't want to be responsible for cleaning up or having to replace the aforementioned. Reminds me of Danny Devito in "War of the Roses": What do you...

Here in California, Redwood.

Thanks for the responses guys. Problem solved. Went down there and sure enough the supply line on the hot side is leaking pretty good from under the nut. The nut was a little loose, which I don't understand as I had snugged it up pretty good when I installed it. Replaced the supply line, lit the...

I installed a new Bradford-White 75 gallon water heater at a rental I manage two months ago. Got a call last night, no hot water. Tenant tells me the gas valves are on, pilot would light and stay lit when he turned heater control to 'heat', but shuts off after a few seconds. Upon further...

I use "Super Deck" semi-transparent stain.....'Canyon Brown'. Love it. Did my new Redwood fence with it about 7 or 8 years ago, and stained a new deck with it in June. I can take/post a couple photos of each if you like, but it probably wouldn't be until Monday. (I'm also in the Bay...

Very impressed! Beautiful boat, and clever solution.

I've always used the Blue tape from Home Depot and never had any problems. Adheres well to most anything, and comes up fairly easily. I've pulled it anywhere from just after putting the paint brush down, to two days later with no problems whatsoever. And yes, pull at 180 degrees. Was buying...

Thanks guys! "Here2Learn There used to a be a product called Swingarm Buddy, I think was the name. I don't know if it will help you out or not." I think just drilling/tapping will be the cleanest fix. Thanks!

Hey guys I've got a (another:)) broken bolt to drill out, and need a longer drill bit to reach it (Kawi kx100 mini bike chain adjuster bolt). Decided it would be nice to have a set of them, sooooo... Recommendations on where to get a set of aircraft extension left hand TiN split point bits (6"...

We used to have that problem periodically with our system. There is an inline "paddle wheel" that spins and tells the "brain" how much water is flowing, thereby letting it know how much/how fast to heat the water. We have hard water, which gummed up the paddle wheel a bit and caused it to not...

Hmmm. Now that I'm finally finished with all the major projects that have dominated my life for the last decade, I've been casting an eye towards "bringing back to life" all the neglected toys that have been sitting patiently waiting for my attention....big trucks, small motorcycles, big...

We have a tankless (gas) water heater with a recirc. pump. It works great. You can set the 24 hr. clock on it to recirc. the water every half/whole hr. that you choose.

It is really pretty stuff! We used "Moulin Rouge" for the counter, shower bench and other details......fricken gorgeous!!

When I saw the title of this thread, this was the first thought that came to mind! We put Empress green marble in both of our bathrooms (one just floor, the other floor and shower). Our tile guy that was doing the install told me that he had seen Empress curl up on the edges before, and that in...

Which is what we have--isolated circuits w. their own breakers.
