I did read that using cinder blocks (the standard ones with the two hollow sections) shouldnt be used and instead the solid blocks should be used. my concern is getting it set up and then having one of the center sections fail that i am unable to reach.

I purchased a resin shed that I need to get up before winter. The actual shed construction should not be difficult-but I need some advice on the platform. The area is on a slight slope. my plan was to level it on CMU's placed directly on the dirt but due to the size I want to avoid any long term...

it says "made in england". Any idea who the manufacturer was? it is a 3 in 1 multi sander. I'd like to get new pads for it.

these were 1 5/8 drywall phillips screws into drywall. i was using the right bit, and it was turning the right way. the nose depth was set to 1 5/8. i dont know what is going on.

I have the senco 235ac and I can't get it to work like the videos. I was expecting to be able to pull the trigger and easily move from screw to screw. I am finding that I have to exert a lot of pressure and even then the bit is jumping out of the screw heads (sometimes snoking from the...

FOB origin means you control the inbound INCLUDING clearing it with US Customs and paying the associated costs. You will have to pay 4.4% duty rate, plus ocean transport, plus harbor maintenance fee, plus merchandise processing fee, plus broker charges.

i have been known to lay my share of pipe, yes

Between sockets and adjustable wrenches...what is the main purpose of combination wrenches? I bought a nice gear wrench set a year ago and I haven't even opened it because Ive never needed it.

I saw a video of this in action and had to have it. Anyone have any experience?

I was trying to cut a 4"x4" with a circular saw thinking there has to be a better way to do this. My sawzall with pruning blade was in the trunk. I was trying to remove grout next to a tub with a grout saw and a dremel thinking if only someone designed a saw for close cuts....my oscillating saw...

that's a good idea

I live in a small townhouse with no basement or garage. But, I am constantly doing projects and I decided my only option is to build a 2'x4' table outside. There will be no way to cover it, so what would be the best type of wood to use to build it that won't rot in the next 5 years? This doesn't...
