I'm trying to think under which circumstances this makes sense to do and I cannot come up with a good one. Also in my experience, if you currently only have enough money to do the first story and if by the hammer of Thor, wherever the new money is coming from 6 months later doesn't end up...

I think 100" = 100 INCHES should be no problem for a cordless phone. :lol_hitti

Here all this time I had no idea bout the 100 post minimum. I guess now I realize I'm so close I should just post this here post for no good reason. I aint a shamed of it.

Thanks for helping folks. Especially with the missing number on the patent. I also eventually found some info http://glassian.org/Pyrex/Radio2/page16.html that glassian.org site is pretty cool.

The painters removed these off of the house. I'd like to know as much about them as I can. The glass is solid 1 1/4" Dia X 5 3/8", made in USA by PYREX Patent number 170006 - info which is all formed in the glass. The attaching base is solid brass (1 3/4" x 3" x 5/8 H). The cap is 1"H with a...

Found this through search: looks like an option. On this webpage http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/20076755/print/true.cfm there are details, here is a quote from the builder: I built the silly rack basically to carry firewood and a cooler on. Then about a year later I...

Ha! never though about cannibalizing a folding table. I should look and see if there are table legs that work with the 24" depth hitch cargo trays. I think most of those folding tables are about 30" but I have seen "skinny" folding tables. It does seem like an easy solution. Thanks a ton!

I knew I was being a bit too vague. :) What I'm looking for is a tray you can load cargo onto and then when you get to your destination, you unhitch it from the rig and possibly attach legs so that it is a stand alone table. kind of like this.. but with legs that either fold down or detachable.

Hi folks, been a long time since my last post. I'm sure I am not the first one to think of this but I'm looking around for a hitch mounted cargo tray that can double as a table (w folding legs or something like that). Tried searching the net and this forum but no luck. Has anyone seen...

i would do spray foam.

In SE michigan, If you are a victim of aerial trespass Detroit-Edison is required to put in a mid-span at no charge to you.

I used to have a cabinet making business. I always would have small scrap laying around the shop and at the end of each day, I practiced cutting a dove-tail by hand using nothing but my marking knife, dovetail saw and chisel. I got to where I could cut a tight fitting dove tail in about 8...

I hate painting. On the other hand, I can't justify hiring a pro because w.r.t the $$ involved its such a basic thing to DIY. The result is I end up painting a lot. People have given a lot of advice here and I won't even attempt a list of my own. I just want to share my single best piece of...

The PoCo says in cases where its needed they install some piece of hardware called a "midspan". Properties like mine that have no pole to drop from require them where aerial trespasses are a concern. I have no idea what they look like but apparently that's what they would do if necessary. I'm...

A year is the time-frame I set up for myself to get some work done on my garage. My Idea is to relocate my drop from the back of my house to the back of my detached garage, then using s feed-through panel, run a feeder to a new 200 amp panel in the house. I already called the PoCo and the...
