    Feedback wanted for concrete landscape curbing

    How far do these go in the ground? Seems street curbing is pretty deep. Frost around here would for sure bust up a continuous length of concrete.

    Matco floor jack... Need help

    I had a similar thing happen with mine. Different name but looks the same. I bought it 30 some years ago and it did come with a rebuild kit. It started leaking like that 20 years ago. Finally looked at it 2 months ago and replaced 8-2, 3, &4. Hasn't leaked a drop since. I think there's alot of...

    What’s a good way to repair a crack in blacktop?

    For a crack that wide, I'd have it cut out and hot patched. Maybe some rebar for good measure! I got a similar crack going although not quite as bad. I may try those products.

    Talk me out of buying shop space vs. moving.

    I agree with this. Or start bidding on your neighbors house! :ROFLMAO:

    Older Andersen window question

    I contacted a paint & glass shop here in town that replaces the sealed units. I just have to get them out to do it. That video was quite helpful.

    Older Andersen window question

    I have a couple of Andersen single hung windows that the lower sash glass is broken. 1 on the inside pane and one on the outside. I'm entertaining removing the sashes to have the glass replaced but am not sure how to do it. I believe they are a 200 series narrowline. The etching in the corner...

    Moving vehicles and utility trailer about property - how best?

    Thia is probably the best solution if you can find a utility cart for $2k that doesn't need work. I bought this for $2500 some years ago and used it for everything including plowing snow. It's made by Ingersol so there's a Bobcat version too.

    Lets make an all vintage Snap-on tool picture thread!

    Yes. It has a 1/2" drive in the end. Strange and expensive tool for the intended purpose. Thanks for the response.

    Vintage saw blades

    We were clearing out old equipment at work and I came across these old saw blades. Dunno what they are for (wood or metal) and there is no saw in sight as it is a machine shop. Motch & Merryweather was a company a very long time ago but didn't read they made saw blades. Also a very long time ago...

    Lets make an all vintage Snap-on tool picture thread!

    Found this tool in an old shop. Looks like something for shocks but not sure. Googling the Snap-on number doesn't give results.

    900 sq ft ideas for a garage build?

    I built a short pole building based off a traditional pole garage I own on another property. That old garage is 24 x 32. You can store 2 cars side by side on the 24' width and have some storage in front of them. 24' isn't wide enough to use as daily parking especially with 2 door cars. Count on...

    Sterling GG Garage Heater - Screech on Blower Startup

    Was your issue resolved? I see a similar unit 30k BTU used not far from me. Not familiar with this brand and it seems pricey but thought maybe it's higher quality than Mr. Heater.

    bi directional scan tool.

    Thanks for the link. I was on a different site but seemed legit to me. https://autel.com/us/product-category/diagnostic-tools/?product-page=3 I want a scanner that's bi-directional, does ABS brake bleeding, and advanced TPMS. Seems like The MK808 or MP808 will do the job.
