    cement board screws?

    ok appreciate it. Forgot about the cement board used for tile. I thought I was told the smartside stuff had cement in it for some reason. I should research the materials I reckon.

    cement board screws?

    New house with hardie siding and smartside soffits and trim. Was at a hardware store and ran across cement board screws. Never knew of such. I ran an exterior screw in a piece of scrap of the smartside and it wouldn’t have held in nothing. Builder told me a lot of times they use anchors.? I...

    Thank you Mainer.. why the heck they can't just make ONE battery "type" for each amp hour rating is beyond me. Who the hell wants to buy the "not so good" battery for an expensive tool? Oh well........

    Forgot to add that my batteries say 20V max XR Don't see XR on these. They make too many kinds of the same **** these days on everything it seems to me.

    Plumbers? Toilet rough in size - 11 1/2"

    have any of y'all looked at the attachment on my first post? From what I see, there's no clear sign of a tank lid to wall measurement unless it's the 1 3/16" they list at the top left. I see from the finished wall to the supply intake there's 3 5/8". Those measurements are what makes me...

    Never tried a lithium in any of my scooters. They may be wonderful. Don't know. What I do know is of all the stinking batteries I've bought over many years on different motorcycles, the factory batteries from the harley house have been the best, hands down. That is compared to what you could...

    Terminating low voltage Network cables, tools and connectors ??

    All good info. If I’m figuring this right, and using a patch panel, it looks like I’ll be punchin a helluva lot more than crimpin. Punch down rj45 females for patch panel and wall plates. I suppose just choose a reputable brand same as the crimp connectors? I believe the only place I’ll be...
