This is what I used to lift two 3.5 x 18 in x 22 ft beams in my house. Used one on each end. Worked really well and quick.

Count me in! Thanks

I got a Chinese carb for my string trimmer last summer. Started on the first pull, idled and ran great. I ordered another Chinese carb for my snowblower over the winter. It started and ran great at first, but after running a little over an hour, started puking fuel out the carb. I took apart the...

Got one too, thanks.

Mine came with a sticker to put on the light fixture and I did apply it.

I just replaced T12 with T8 in an old fixture in the bathroom. I removed the ballast but kept the starter. The instructions were not clear on that so I had to bench test it. Looks great, much brighter, no buzzing, and instant on. Even the wife commented how nice and bright it is.

Not when he causing damaged to your house. Had the same issue last year. Sprayed holes with some bug spray and the house foundation. Did not see the woodpecker this year. Hopefully he is done...

Thanks for the help. I ordered the flame sensor this morning and supposedly it will be delivered tomorrow, so I'll give it a try tomorrow night. When I looked at the ignition control it didn't say the flame sensor came with, otherwise I would have got it. Any idea if I can use a different...

Not garage related but I need help please. We bought an old house in the spring and I have to fix the boiler. It will not fire all the time when it is cold. If I cycle the power on/off it will fire. At that point I can turn the thermostat down and up, it will fire every time. If it sits for an...
