    Home Depot Clearance Thread 2016

    I worked at HD for two years as a second job - in the hardware department. We were prohibited from buying the penny markdowns! You wouldn't believe what I saw go into the compactor. That's where the penny markdowns were supposed to go. via AT&T and Samsung

    Home Depot Clearance Thread 2015

    Fyi: the $0.01 markdowns are merchandise that had been on the shelf too long and didn't sell. It gets marked down to a penny then thrown away. HD is not allowed to sell those items. I've worked part time at HD in the hardware dept. for 1-1/2 years for the exercise (and that's a heck of a lot...

    What is it?

    Found in a tire today. I swear I've seen one before years ago, but no idea what it is. Looks like a fastener of some sort. imag

    Tankless Water Heaters - Pros/Cons

    I have a tankless nat. gas in my current home and are generally happy with it. We built the house and I wanted the garage space back that would have be taken up by a tank heater. It does take a few extra seconds to get the hot water to the shower/faucet but then it's endless. In a previous...

    Removing ceramic tile

    ^+1. I removed ~ 1000 sq ft of ceramic tile from a house we purchased last year, plus another 300 sq fr of cheap wood floor using an electric (jackhammer) with a 4" blade. It's a good thing we hadn't moved in yet as it makes a huge mess. The shards are extremely sharp so be careful. Whatever...

    Which one man brake bleeder to buy(abs brakes)

    Another Motive user here. I've been using it for years on all of my vehicles, and I bleed the brakes several times per year on my track toy. If the cap seal ever wears out or goes 'missing' you can fab one up out of inner tube rubber. Pump it up no more than 12-13 psi or you can damage the...

    MaxJax Transport, Install, Impression, and Comparison

    I couldn't scare up any help this evening. So I mounted the wheels first then unbolted the base of the posts from the steel frame and lowered the posts to the trailer deck. Then I unbolted the top end of the posts and set them down. I then put moving pads topped with cardboard on the deck of...

    MaxJax Transport, Install, Impression, and Comparison

    Just a note on shipping. GESUSA got mine out to me in 4 days including the day I ordered it. I chose the shipping terminal option and glad I did. The 'package' was much larger and heavier than I expected - about 7' long and a hefty 880 lbs. It's bolted into a steel shipping frame and wouldn't...

    Does that come w/ fries? :D Just kidding - awesome looking garage with cool theme! I'm starting w/ a custom paint scheme and have Gladiator cabinets (from my previous house) to install. A MaxJax is on order. But a floor deck will be the next step in the process. Threads like this should...

    MaxJax Transport, Install, Impression, and Comparison

    The price goes up $200 after the end of this month. It is listed on most sites now for $1999 and some have the oil drain can and the creeper seat included at that price. I've been wanting one of these lifts since they came out so it's time for me to get off the dime and give Joe a call to see...
