Thanks, guys. I knew someone would know! Terry

I replacing my older Bostitch N70 coil siding nailer with a Metabo NV65AH2 coil siding nailer. I have almost a full box of Bostitch 2" nails. The diameter of these nails are within Metabo specs. I'm using wire correlated nails. The angle on the bostich nails is 15 degrees. The angle on the...

I built my sliding wall using pegboard on both sides. I only used 2 casters on the bottom. I had to put a wooden runner on the floor to keep it from sliding off center. Sorry for the crappy pictures. I used HDPE(smooth cutting board material) and slipped into unistrut to guide the top...

I would call the Mr Heater Techs and Ask them if a 24' length of your hose setup will deliver the BTH's needed to power the burners properly. I also would rather you hard pipe along the inside wall going outside at the location of you propane source just outside the garage wall for safety...

Sitting here just a whis'n and a hope'n. Merry Christmas Everyone!

I'm having a senior moment. I'm currently building an addition to the top floor of my garage. What type of sealant should I use to seal the existing roof shingles to the siding. I probably should've used flashing under the siding. However, after 2-3 "hurricane" type storms" the building...

Why not put up a new inside load bearing wall on the man door side and remove the existing wall. 30 sq. feet will not be missed. Position it to conform to size requirements. Leave the original roof line and make it look like a porch. You'll have evening shade. Throw in a couple of lawnchairs...

HEY NOW!!!! That is one of my most cherished pocessions. It was the first tool my son ever bought me for Christmas. He was about 9-10 years old and bought it from one of those cheesy infomercials with his own money. I've got it hanging on the lid of my box to remind me of what is important in...

Sorry about your loss! Not to knock the fire dept. but didn't they hang around a long time after the first fire looking for hot spots? This just *****! Terry

"Say it ain't so, Joe" I think my heart just skipped a beat!

I was on my way to an auction today and stopped buy a garage sale to kill some time. Picked up a Metabo Grinder(a little rough looking but purrs like a kitten) and an Estwing 24oz hammer for $4.00. At the auction I bought some Vice Grips, A Craftsman Breaker Bar w/ sockets, just a few pins...

I design and build commercial kitchens. Please be very careful. It sounds like you have done your homework on what the county and state requirements are. What you are doing is in the "gray area" of the codes. It's all in how the inspector "interprets" the code today. Been there, Done that...

I too have slatwall hooks. I have the same problem With the hook moving when pulling my tools off of them. I haven't got around to it yet but I'm want to put a small piece of dbl sided carpet tape to the back of the flange and see how that works. I don't need much strength just something to...

Thanks for the link to ebay. I saw that. I'm worried what kind of abuse that thing has taken over its life. Six months later I may be in the same predicament. Terry

The right side hydro drive on my old Grasshopper zero turn mower bit the dust. I just priced a new one at the dealer for $900.:shocking:They can't rebuild these any more(parts not available). I would like to find a replacement at a lower price. I know: I'm a cheap ***! There can't be that...
