Another vote for Evolve Stone. Easy install and looks great. Jim

My grandfather recieved a pair of bookends made of rail and spikes as a gift from the railroad he retired from. They work really well! Jim

Not for nothing, try your local moving and storage companies. I bought a large one from a local company for $50 and he had a fair number to choose from. Still going strong after 4+ years. Well worth a phone call or visit. Jim

"because that's what he's always done ...." That type of answer always bugs me. To me, it is an indicator of someone who hasen't learned about newer materials and techniques and refuses to educate himself to stay current. While some things may not change or are done/not done due to various...

I've always had good luck fogging small engines with Stabil fogging oil. I'm sure other brands are just as good. Jim

You're wanting this to be a DIY project? If I understand your issue correctly, hire a couple of guys to get the sheetrock up the stairs to the unfinished room then buy a Harbor Freight (or equivalent) drywall lift to hang the ceiling. Sell the lift when your done if you don't want to keep it...

Maybe just run it up to the base of the windshield? Include a "Remove before flight" streamer to remind her to disconnect before driving off or route it in a manner that she can't get past the driver's door. Try to get her involved so she's at least thinking about it and is part of the...

I'm with Zeke on this one. I had a similar problem so I replaced the sensors and all is good. Replacement sensors are pretty inexpensive, about $25/pair.

I'm glad this thread was started and already has a number of useful posts. I've been carrying a SIG STL-100C for 20 years or more but it's beginning to wear out and has been discontinued by SIG (the gun folks). I like the size, shape, aluminum water resistant body and that is 1AA battery...

I had a landscaper over last week to do some work for me. He shows up with a bandage and brace on his left wrist and forearm. He tells me at another job he was in an akward position while cutting a zip tie with box cutter and cut the fleshy part of his hand just below the thumb requiring some...

Whatever you end up doing, if you get the opportunity, install some J channel on the bottom raw edge of the drywall to protect it. Jim

My suggested way would require getting to the backside to cut the nails/screws/glue with a recip or oscilating saw to minimize damage and repair. Reinforce the the front side of the wall with sheets of plywood and stiffen with 2X lumber to prevent flex. Screw the plywood to the drywall around...

I do my seasonal maintenance at the end of the season. Fresh oil, new filters and other consumables as required. A detailed inspection and repairs/adjustments as necessary. If I have to order parts, I have plenty of time before the first cutting of next season if there are delays. If Spring...

I have a Ridgid VAC5000 5gal wet/dry. It works Ok, but does nothing well. My biggest disappointment is not being able to find extra hose and accessories that fit without using a bunch of adaptors. Jim

Ha! My Dad always threatened my brother & sisters and me with sloping all the table tops in the foyer so our school books would slide to the floor. We had the habit of plopping our books on the table as soon as we walked in the door. Dad eventually broke us of that. My wife's mother had a...
