    Worth 4 Post Lift

    A Lift is something I’ve always wanted, and with each day of age, I want one more than ever. :) Sorry, I can’t speak to that brand. I always buy used and my first question is always: “Why are you selling it?” Short of failing health, moving/downsizing, I don’t know why anyone would sell a good...

    Caulking gap between add-on Patio and Brick House

    You put it in a crack and it levels by itself without tooling. It’s good for sidewalk joints and filling cracks. Silka is one Brand.

    Hi, I have a Trane Heat Pump System. Today, we noticed the increased temperature, and I discovered the Outside Compressor/Fan unit had stopped working. The Air Handlers were still pumping air out of the vents - albeit hot. I had this problem before and learned to keep spare Capacitors on...

    Pump Saver for a 320’ Well Pump

    Continuing my education of Well Pumps… Advertising states these are the “bomb” to protect a Well Pump. That said: 1)Does anyone have a Pump Saver? 2)Are they worth the cost? 3)How difficult are they to install? [I’ve done 3 new power panels in renovations.) Any advise would be...

    Cost of setting deep Well pump and some trenching.

    Clarification: This is a brand new Well that had to be drilled to replace old 340’ Well located inside a Well House. After “many” failed attempts by myself and later pros to remove pump and the 220’ of 1-1/4” PVC attached - dropped by another person - I hauled up the white flag. I’m not one to...
