    Fireplace Log Sets

    I upgraded my vented gas logs to a nicer set 3 years ago. We asked about the remote control kit. The sales rep said he was happy to see us the remote kit if we really wanted it but that we'd be calling him in 6 months trying to get it repaired. He said they had gone through several brands and...

    Bathroom fan

    Panasonic fans are the way to go. As stated before make sure you size the fan to your bathroom correctly and get the quietest sone rating you can afford. A timer is a much better choice than a humidity sensor. But you have to pick a timer that will play nicely with your fan. Some fans require...

    Mounting flag on house. Brick vs mortar?

    So I'm finally getting around to hanging a flag on the house. I realize I'm probably over thinking this but I'm curious to see what the collective opinion is on anchoring the bracket into brick vs mortar. The house is 25 years old but the brick is in good shape. The pole is 6' and the flag is...

    Stihl MS170 - quick tensioner

    My father in law got me an MS170 for Christmas. I use a saw a few times a year but don't have my own and he knows I hate borrowing things. Read some reviews and seems like it'll be a good limited use saw. Looks like there is a quick adjust chain tensioner available. Curious if anyone has this...

    Correct option for drywall repair?

    Thanks for the input guys. After reading all this I'm going to fill the gouge. Luckily it's low on the wall so not too worried about texture. I've got some paint left but the room was painted 11 years ago and gets a lot of sun so no way it's going to match. I won't notice but it'll be like a...

    Correct option for drywall repair?

    So I was working on a project and this happened (hopefully the pic is attached). The wife is thrilled. This of course creates yet another unplanned project for me.... So my question is what's the correct way to fix something like this? I've patched actual holes plenty of times but this is more...

    Recommend me a good headlamp

    I've used several over the past 20 years for camping, backpacking, hunting, anything requiring handsfree light. I've only used Princeton Tec for the past decade. Needed their customer service once and they were so good and went over and above what was required that they're all I'll use from now...

    Cordless string trimmer and blowers

    My cordless blower is probably my favorite cordless yard equipment purchase ever. Ego 56 volt 580cfm. It's a beast but will **** the 7.5ah battery down in about 20 minutes of near constant use. Liked it so much I added the string trimmer and edger. Both of them will run all day on the same...

    Rule of thumb for pilot holes?

    No I don't have the correct bit which is part of the reason I started this thread. I wanted to be sure what size bit to order since this is likely the only time I'll need a bit this long. TC
