    Basement question. Water problems.

    House was built in 1930. Digging the exterior down to the footings is not going to be an option. I'm fine with the bandaid, just wish I could come up with a way to clean the sediment out of the trough. I think my biggest need to do asap is going to be adding gutters and correct down spout...

    Basement question. Water problems.

    Bought a new house, the basement has a trough system along the perimeter of the entire basement. The soil is clay, drainage *****.

    Picked up a reel mower

    Thanks guys! Going to do a further inspection and sharpen the blades. This thing is heavy, weights as much as your modern day gas push mower. Did some research and it's an American lawn mower company. I found one too for sale with an engine powered, I wanted it, but was too far of a drive.

    Picked up a reel mower

    Probably the best spot for this post. It's a vintage yard tool. Always wanted one, found one with a bagger. Picked it up for $45.

    Harbor freight has brand new "Snap On" style, and composite ratchets

    I have the flex head 3/8 and use it in professional wrenching. It's a great ratchet, have busted tons of stuff loose. My only complaint is after some use you are in able to get the head snug so it's really floppy. I have the 1/2 in flex head long one and is a fantastic ratchet too. All my other...

    My vintage drill press

    Inherited from my grandfather. He passed 23 years ago and the press had just been sitting in grandmas garage. It is now mine, I think I'm going to have to pull the motor apart and clean the rotor and brushes. This thing is very heavy duty and super cool! I really like the variable speed system...

    Inquired a Columbian penny pincher vise

    Grandpa passed away 23 years ago, grandma past away last spring. When we were cleaning out the house and garage I inquired some pretty cool old tools. This is one of my favorites, along with the drill press I will be posting later. Any idea what year this is from?
