You are correct about European hinges. I don't know how many times I have had to replace and repair doors where someone leaned on the door just a little too heavy. Few will own up to it but I have seen the handprints on the door where they were lifting their *** up using the door on a base cabinet

I know what you mean about no one trailer. I kept the 4x6 that my dad used for his riding mower and find I use it quite a bit for short dup runs, moving appliances or other things I don't want to lift to the bed of my truck. The only problem is it is too short to back worth a damn. Fortunately...

The new place is looking great and I bet it didn't take long to figure out that GA clay digs much different than FL sand. You know the trailer you want and got close to it. Keep your eyes open for a deal and it will usually happen then you get to decide if you need two or want to let one go...

Is there room to drill it and add a Grade 8 bolt?

When I worked for Sears in the 80's, I believe Waterloo was the manufacturer of their boxes. As for the ceiling scratches, I used to deliver and set up large quilting frames for a sewing shop that I did some maintenance work for. Every one of them had what looked like at least a few spots of...

I told a native Texan friend on Facebook about taking my kids to a snowy church parking lot when they were young drivers and locking back to 2wd with nothing in the *** end. He said he would stay inside with his coat on.

I just picked mine up. The way I have figured cost was multiplying the 5000W maximum by my kWh rate on the electric bill times how many hours a day I expect to use it. In my case it is 5,000X0.09278(my rate from the last bill)=46.39 cents per hour on high or about $1.85/day running 4 hours on...

The addition is coming along just fine Eric. I am impressed with your trusses. I know you are striving for perfection, but the day will come when you look at your FIL's "signature" and have a tear and a smile about the help he gave you on the floor and your other projects over the years

My $0.02 on the nailers is it depends on your needs. In my remodeling/handyman business I have used both. The battery units are great to have for small work but if I am framing a room addition or sheathing a roof, I would rather drag the hose. If you go with a battery unit, take an extra...

No extra charge for the added protein!

Re: DRIVESITFAR IS GETTING ORGANIZED in his 9x15 portion of 2 car garage. DIY’s & COO Drives, I have missed the discussion about your daughter's dryer, but here is what I know. The electric code changed to include the apparatus ground (green wire) about 25 years ago. Either is fine and most...

Since you have a problem getting it too hot in the existing space, an interior door into the new space will offer the opportunity to draw some heat out and cool things down slower without going crazy and opening the OH doors.

Add me to the interior door camp. I have no visual to the shed behind my garage. I end up having to traipse back there every couple of days just to make sure it is not open. I am going to put a security camera on the back of the garage so I can check the door without having to go out in the...

I was working in an retail shop where the owner asked me to get rid of the old cooler piece in the attic. It was a pink, Owens Corning styrofoam cover for the steps and kind of looked like a turtle shell. I have not seen one since. If you centered it over the opening before folding the steps...

You can add a sway bar that is like disc brakes and has a little ball on the tongue and hitch for about $50. It shouldn't be too hard of a welding job if your hitch doesn't have the attachment. I bought a piece of plate with the hole already drilled when I got mine and had my wife's uncle weld...
