Sounds like there may be something with the pressure regulator at the meter. Either needs resetting or replaced.

The AC draws a lot of moisture out of the air. That is the drain for it and has been mentioned, its plugged somewhere downstream. Don't plug it, otherwise your coil will be sitting in a puddle of water and drip down into the furnace below it. That curved dip below the tee probably has a bunch...

120' from the backdoor. Its a fine distance unless it is pouring rain or -5F with a 15mph wind like yesterday. :lol:

The edging can be iron on banding or solid wood. In fact, solid wood will increase the load capacity of the shelf and prevent it from bowing. You can glue it on and use a few pin nails to hold while it dries. Just keep the top edge of the wood level with the top edge of the plywood to keep it...

That looks like a nice design for a bookshelf. Cherry, red or white oak, walnut. I buy the lumber rough and machine it down to suit my needs. But you need the tools (jointer, planer) to do that. Buying 1x lumber at places like HD/Lowes is very expensive. I wouldn't shy away from plywood. You...

I think for that much difference I would go asphalt. Yes you have to reseal it periodically but it will still cost less in the long run. And there is no guarantee concrete won't crack no matter how well it is done. In the end, it all comes down to site preparation and installation. If done right...

Several times I've found the small packets of screws/nuts/washers have had one poked through and taken. Can't be bothered to buy three or four when they only needed one. :(

I wish I had given more thought to the layout outside my shop. Specifically, the drive way and parking area in front of it. My gravel drive to the shop is too narrow which forces me to turn into the grass if I need to maneuver. I should have made it wider. I still can, but wish I had done...

I don't either. I used my $19.99 Harbor Fright trim nailer. I had to set a couple of the nails but otherwise it worked great. :D

I've made two desk tops using oak flooring over plywood and they have held up fine for several years now. I wouldn't glue the flooring to the plywood though. Wood needs to expand and contract across the grain with changes in humidity. You could glue the two sheets together, but screws would be...

Mason. Between Cincy and Dayton.

Been lurking here for a few days down in the Heating and A/C forum. Lots of good info here. Glad I came across this forum! :thumbup: John
