I just ran power and used 3/8" long Zip screws, I drilled a pilot. This was on the back side where the metal is thicker and nothing goes through. Now I am running air on the other post and down the side towards the choices I am considering are to Use adhesive Weld studs Tap the post and...

For keeping the basement dry, you just need to get the gutter drain away from the house which can be done using surface drains. I had a dried in basement set up that and a 10’ corrugated pipe loosely connected to the downspouts. I would move them to cut grass. This was a 70 year old setup a...

Its a 2004 Silverado 2500 2WD gas. I was thinking the bidirectional scanners would act as the J2534, and that if I saved money replacing the module myself I could apply that savings to the scanner cost. This would be for DIY so costs at or above $1K are beyond reasonable.

Will these bidirectional tools program a replacement ABS module for an older GM

Try calling your local materials yard. They may have a sandy fill from local areas.

How old is the OSB? What condition is it in? If I was concerned, such as if there were signs of moisture inside around the post locations, I would; Try to determine which post would have the most damage and remove the interior covering to access the base of the post where it enters the...

I am not a concrete guy but have done some work with pads and vaults. I have always used packed gravel as a base and dug down or filled in to achieve the grade and thickness. I use wire mesh in the slab and rebar in walls or footers, then finish with a 2x4. I would not do anything larger than...

I would expect that vinyl siding would have air gaps for at least 1/2 of the surface area and so the foil would reflect %50 of the radiant heat back out which could still be good value when comparing A/C cost to install cost over a period of time. For heating of the vinyl I have no clue, you...

my 2400 sqft shed included installation for much less than $9. I could see a red iron building being more expensive and labor rates difer by area, but for $30K I would at least get another quote. Even at the cheap labor rate I got, if I had the time and help needed I would have DIY. At the...

I have done a few industrial restoration projects and have found that between the time tools equipment and materials (such as paint and sealer). If I had bought new, I would have had a better product for less money and much sooner. The one advantage is I can make it look the way I want.

I bought land and put up a shop / giant shed on a slab. If I had unlimited resources I would have gotten an excavator, front end loader, and zero turn mower, but I settled on a 47HP Kubota with standard bucket, forks, and mower. We also just got a rake. Everything can be rented but it is a...

If they are installed according to instructions and meet the minimum requirements, I would leave as it is.
