I cannot have inferior cable ties at my workplace (agriculture, greenhouses, etc.). I use U.S. made Advanced Cable Ties (ACT) : https://www.advancedcableties.com/ Visit their page if you are a certification/specification type nutcase like me. I buy them through ZORO (Graingers online site)...

I, too was wondering why no sump crock is being installed, unless there is zero chance of water down there. I would also consider renting a tamper to compact the base, unless I'm misunderstanding something. Off topic..........please explain that tangle of flexible conduit!!!

Here's a previous thread that discusses this: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/epoxy-on-a-polyurethane-sealant.373200/

You only have one chance to do this correct. Myself, I would place "best product" as priority over ease of availability. Someone will address your water absorption issue. My opinion if intent on choosing penetrating concrete products is that I would prefer one that also claims some...

Our MS260's have been our go-to saws at my workplace for decades. It fits our needs best, and our 362 handles most things bigger. I must be doing something wrong, but starting has seldom been an issue that so many make of it here. Regarding the testosterone discussion above, saws are similar...

I just learned that CO detectors generally have a lifespan of 5 to 7 years compared to smoke detectors having a lifespan of 8 to 10 years. You might want to consider that in deciding about combination units vs. separate. Also consider the best placement of CO detectors vs. smoke detectors. I...

I agree with most of the above. My thought is to use the smallest profile trim that covers the floor irregularities in whichever shape looks best (1/2" quarter round?). I would also experiment with black vs. floor color to see what looks best...

Precision is different than accuracy(just stirring the pot). You have not invoked your OCD enough to study the hundreds of torque wrench threads here to find out that the torque wrench process in itself has about +/- 25 accuracy*. So quibbling about a few percent in the wrench itself seems...

@Shea, Off topic a bit: Why does outdoor concrete (sidewalk) turn out perfectly "white/tan color" vs. indoor concrete turning out mottled like the after cleaning picture above? Is there a way to get the non-mottled look indoors?

I used TS210 about a year ago and I also had a unique experience with my phone call to them. The person I talked to was somewhat overly helpful, if that makes any sense. He seemed to be ultra diligent to give advice that would guarantee no failure. I had mixed feelings. In one sense, he...

For us old duffers, it replaces the Sears tool section if one just wants to browse tools for a while and dream of projects that never had any chance of happening.

I think you nailed it. Here's other pictures of a Badger jack:

"Holy Stihl OCD, Batman"! @D.F.B. Enjoy our Stihl themed homecoming float from a few years ago. Stihl Corporation and local Superior Saw Stihl dealer have been generous supporters of our Timbersports Team and other activities over the years.

You are right, I acknowledge my error, and commend you for sticking to your guns. I'm not sure why we are in denial that your Mercury factory service manual AND the actual connections in your engine go against the "rule" regarding soldered crimp connections being frowned upon. It would...
