I am with Volvo and DekeT.... Better check the playing field and try to smell out the Nazi regime first. They claimed in Oregon that all water is public water. In Kalifornia they claim that all water above, below and on the surface is the State's water. Sounds like "State" means Communist...

If you go out west, stop at Arizona or Nevada, you really do not want to move to Kalifornia, maybe just look over the border, but do not stay. Unless you are already walking with your head at your feet. They are selling a lot of Vaseline in the Golden State. Everybody is getting fleeced out...

These guys are pretty good over here about getting you what you need. And those speaking about air in the coolant, low coolant are probably GM mechanics. GM has had some problems with some engines that have the cross-over tubes, the o-rings and also getting air in the cooling system. Some people...

Whats wrong with 5/8 wallboard???? (drywall)

Looks like you are improving things and it helps with an "R" value (insulation factor) anything you are doing in between the girts, post and columns are going to add rigidity to the structure, even if kind of half assed connected, every little bit helps. The OSB and or even sheetrock will add...

We use boxed forms routinely, over and over, diesel is our weapon of choice, it's cheap, we spray the forms down before we hang them on the stakes. True is, spraying later will contaminate the reinforcement, the wire ties and anything else that the concrete is supposed to bond to. Most...

Really nice haul... I hope you didn't scratch your dually!!! or break your rear window, you really got a bunch there.

Well. I do now have the plans and they are stamped in regards to having already been engineered, the problem was that at this point in time they are not meeting the requirements for the 2010 code. Meaning: "the plans were drawn and engineered in the year 2008". The county wants them certified to...

I had an earlier post regarding a building that I had interest in. Building is pre-engineered, never been erected and the county says the engineering is probably okay as it was destined for a mountainous region with a great amount of snow, wind, rain and a very active seismic region, where I am...

Yes, it is off gassing the contents of the binder, if you get headaches as was just mentioned, open some doors and circulate, do this even if you seal it with something. Oh!, it is all supposed to be safe at these levels, but remember, your carpet, plywood and other building materials have...

I own six welders, they all have a place like a set of screwdrivers, I am on my second Lincoln 225, started on one in high school shop and could not weld worth a ****. But my mama and the piano teacher always said "practice makes perfect". Aside from that, certainly there will be a day you need...

Hitch a ride on the Time Machine and you can go revisit the factory when it was made. The other tool is a Stanley 12 measuring tape, although we use 25 and 30 footers nowadays.

I came across a complete 30 x 60 metal building on pallets and has never been erected. Appears the party selling got the building as a result of some money owed from some worked that was done and had to settle for the trade. Available is the invoice, purchase order 28 pages of the building list...

I buy them direct from Capplugs Company, google them, they have a lot to choose from. I only buy 2 sizes and get them 200 at a time, if you are looking for assorted sizes, just ask them, they might be able to put something together for you. Good luck

For a 3 tab comp roof with new valley tins and roof edge, about how much per square should I be paying from a professional roofer, simple 5-12 gable with two valleys and an existing tear off. Area, Central California. If anybody has a national estimator book to get me in the ballpark. I have a...
