BTW, many of HD's mouldings and other Big Box stores buy their mouldings from Alexandria. Huge selection and online catalogue here: http://www.alexmo.com/?page=mouldings

Sort of on topic. I replaced all the baseboards in a previous house I owned. I couldn't use a coping saw to save my life, but I wanted to do it right. I bought this: http://www.thecoper.com It works amazingly well and can perfectly cope a baseboard in about 5 seconds. (Professionals - no...

Milton, kbs....Brilliant. Weekend warrior, the faucet is at the back of a raised garden with retaining blocks around it. The trees are pyrimidial cedars so they are okay where they are, but thanx for the suggestion anyway.

I should have been more specific. This will be an extension, not moving. (Boomer, they can win any 3 quarter game. Now 4 quarters, that's something else entirely.)

Advice and opinions needed. My outside faucet is about 6 feet away from where it should be. I currently have to crawl behind some trees to get it. I want to extend the outlet about 6 feet, including at least two 90 degree outside and inside corners to allow it to route to beside my front...

Nice find.....and on the subject of Coke/Pepsi, how stupid can you be???? http://www.ngngsports.com/2012/07/ronaldinho-drinks-pepsi-press-conference-loses-750000-coca-cola-endorsement-deal.html

OP poster here. The problem with this is not only the impact socket needed. It's that the 1 1/8 nut is at the end of the mainshaft on a 1974 MGB Overdrive Transmission that is on the bench, not on the car. So, I can't just reef on it because any turning of the nut, turns the drive flange which...

We don't have HF up here, but we do have Princess Auto - checked there this morning - nada. Thanx for the advice. I will wrap the chrome with tape and see what happens.

I have one nut to take off. Shop manual says I need an impact gun to remove it. I tried without an impact gun and realize the manual is right. I have a impact gun but don't have a 1 1/8 impact socket. I won't ever be taking this nut off again - one time off, then one time on again - so...

I just bought a Blanco Acclaim off of evilbay. It's a very solid faucet. I too am finished with PricePfister, Delta and Moen.

I've read of some guys using a dishwasher for a parts washer. Rough that in? Central Vac lines?

Re: what did you do in your garage today? I just installed a central vac to be used only for the cars. It's a small Husky unit. I mounted it above and between the two overhead doors and ran the pipes down between the doors. Works like a charm. Bought it brand new off Kijiji for $100.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? I'll tell you what I did and I'm not happy!! SOB!! I've got a 1974 MGB. I am putting on brand new wire wheels so I need brand new hubs. I spent four hours today trying to get the right front one on. It wouldn't tighten up. No way, no how. Finally...

I've got the rack you don't want. I have an MDX. I keep my winter/summer tires and rims on it, as well as an extra for my Volvo. It's mounted way up high. Ya, it's a pain to get the wheels off and on, but it's only twice a year. They are out of the way and out of mind. I like many of the other...

I have an NG heater on the ceiling of my garage. The thermostat won't go much below 10C (50F). I want to replace it with a digital thermostat. There are only two wires to the current thermostat. Will this work? Or at least will this type work (if it doesn't go low enough)...
