The posts are fractured as they enter the concrete base. I get about 10 yrs out of a post, so that was one of the reasons I wanted to go for the galvanized bases- to not have to pound in the c channel Simpson post reinforcements every 8-10yrs. In the past I have used an auger bit to shred the...

I need to replace some 4x4 PT fence posts that are set in good concrete (I set them years back). I would like to try to auger out the remnants and set a Simpson post base in the existing concrete ball, and add some concrete in the 4x4 hole to set the post base. Has anyone tried this before and...

Thanks- very helpful. The Wera colored sockets look good, and will try a paint pen on some of the existing sockets as well.

Looking for a good solution for standard sockets (not impact) at work. We share tools with many folks and things inevitably become a jumble drawer full of sockets. I'm looking for the easiest to read sockets so that they are easier to re-organize. From my searches here, looks like socket...

Thanks- is it safe to assume that leaks just mean it won’t hold air, and it may send rust through the lines? Or is there a safety risk as well?

Picked up an oldie and have been going through it. After thinking about what I want to do with it, I settled on the goal to have 'free air' available to cyclists in the neighborhood. I've read through some threads here and wanted to run a few questions by the experienced folks. Background-...

Enjoying your progress! Question on the small drawer slides- are these Accuride 3832-E8? I didn't find 8" slides on the ahturf site, where did you end up getting these?

For folks in the Los Angeles area, the free epoxy leftovers are still available. There is enough primer to do a 2 car garage! Pete I have significant leftovers that can get someone else started on their project. Send me a note if you are ready to start, I am in Redondo Beach. HD-105 Repair...

Judging by the several responses from epoxy floor installers/material providers, I see that my post may be construed as negative- that was not the intent. It is meant as honest feedback from a customer of this industry. My point is simply that many on this forum are DIY'ers, and that there is...

This summary is to try to close some of the gaps I found when trying to find out info for my epoxy floor project. The search tool is great, but I spent hours getting nuggets of info here and there. In addition, Legacy Industrial’s instructions are short of details, and while Scotty is great...

I just finished grinding mine. Dust was my biggest concern. The 16in diamabrush Home Depot rentals in my area have the dust port now. The velcro 'skirt' they have is too short, so it made a lot of dust. I went back and got a second skirt to overlap the first skirt, and that made a world of...

Wanted to see if anyone has had luck to get some sort of dust collection hooked up to the large Diamabrush that Home Depot rents? Is it possible to rent the Diamabrush from HD and then fit it to a floor buffer/sander that has dust collection, since the HD versions don't dust collection?

You might want to consider glazing gaskets in addition to the caulk. You can see good examples here: http://www.conservationtechnology.com/building_glazing.html

Hello Scotty, these look great, but also a bit tall. How do these fit into the Bosch 1773AK grinders? Will they keep the brush/curtains above the surface and prevent the vacuum from collecting the dust?
