    Support column as electrical raceway?

    Standard galvanized water pipes have rough interior seams or burrs that can strip wire insulation, and they lack certification under the National Electrical Code (NEC). Use the proper conduit.

    Built an IKEA DETOLF + BILLY display case for my 250+ die-cast collection

    Looks good. Adam Savage would be proud. He used Billy cases for his extensive collection of movie props. In one video he installs led lighting. His YouTube channel is Tested.

    Walmart Getting Serious About Tools in 2026?

    We used to own a custom picture frame shop and garden center. We had a long term nursery plant supplier (20 years) abruptly cut us off along with all the other mom and pops.

    Eklind Is Closing Its IL Plant

    Cast Iron to PVC union, Plumbers what am i looking at here?

    Plumbing never goes to plan. Case in point. Went to change shower head. Galvanized pipe. Joint broke. Inside thread wrench failed. Ended up cutting hole in closet wall. Removed pipes down to diverter/main valves.

    What is it? Pegboard accessory.

    And if so, move the inserted ends closer. Perhaps it got bent and happens to fit holes 1 and 3. Rather it should fit holes 1 and 2.

    People who buy tools they will never use

    Sorry. My answer was poorly worded. I’ve had to race to store before closing or discover at midnight I need another fitting or part. After the death of my father I had to assume his responsibilities which included being the family maintenance man.

    People who buy tools they will never use

    I’m over an hour round trip from a Home Depot or Lowes. Repairs usually nights or weekends. I’ve been establishing my own mini hardware store. Nothing ***** the life out of a project like stopping and driving 35 miles on way to a decent hardware store that might or might not be open.
