Thank you to everyone for your suggestions.

Our house was built in 2005 and we never sealed the driveway. I've pressure washed it a few times, but never really gave any thought to sealing it afterwards. The time has come to clean it up again and this time I'd like to put some sealer down to help it stay clean. I'll be cleaning it with a...

I ended up bringing home the Kobalt Quiet Tech 26 gallon.I fired it up when I got home and it is pretty damn quiet. It got up to 150 psi in 6 minutes. Honestly, it's probably all the compressor I'm going to need.

My decades old 20 gallon oil lubed Speedaire finally died. The tank developed a hole on the bottom recently, and just last week, it started knocking loudly like it threw a rod or something. So, it's new compressor time. I have read a ton of air compressor threads on here, mostly dealing with...

Those are darn pretty...

Thank you to both of you for those links. From the pictures, It looks like I'm missing a few additional parts as well.

I have an older Homelite chainsaw that needs a few parts. The starter/recaoil mechanism is missing a few teeth, so I can't even start the thing. It seems like an easy fix, but I can't find a part number. I can't find a model number anywhere on this thing. Every part site I find need a...

I've had a couple Craftsman ones for about a decade or so and they are still fine.

I decided to pull down the chainsaw that has been sitting on my top shelf for the past few years and trim some trees. It was given to me by my father when we moved down here to Houston. It is an old Homelite. I can't seem to find a model number though. It is marked Homelite Super Two Automatic...

My craftsman trimmer lasted two seasons. When I went back to the store to talk about it, the guy said that I should have bought the two year warranty. I explained to him that it should have lasted longer than two years to begin with. I sold it on craigslist for $25 as a non-running unit and...

Thanks for all the suggestions!

New ballast The ballasts in my clearance Lowe's fixtures are failing after just over a year of service. I have four 4-bulb, 4 ft t-8 fixtures. Is there one particular ballast or brand that is better than others? I figured I'd ask before I choose the best price from a Google search.

I went with a tilting mount from Monoprice. I love that company for mounts, cables and other installation parts. 39" Insignia 1080p TV, Sony Refurb receiver, Polk front and center speakers and Acoustic Research indoor/outdoor speakers for the rear surround. I would like to have hidden the...

I bought my transfer panel on ebay. It was Honda labeled, but made by someone else, Pro-Tran maybe. I found it very easy to install and with my ten circuit model, I can connect enough circuits to make the house livable. Here in Houston, it's more of a concern for hurricane aftermath rather than...

The thing is, my offer would be $200 and no higher than $300. That's a big discount over their $700 price. Plus, it doesn't exactly fit in a MazdaSpeed 6, so I'd need my neighbor with his truck or steal the wife's CX-9. If it is still there next weekend and the wife and I have time, I might do...
