My house was built in the mid 80s and has custom cabinets that I guess were fairly nice at the time they were built, but lack some functionality presently. I don't know what to call the system of rollers and the undermount guide/roller but it's pretty terrible. Is it possible to retrofit...

My apologies if there was a better section to post this to. I just replaced the carb on an older Mighty Mac walk behind leaf vaccum / chipper. Typical story, old nasty gas etc. Engine in question is a Tecumseh Formula 8.0 horizontal shaft. I ordered the china special carb from Amazon. Not...

Some background: I have an attached 2 car garage & house that were built in 1986. There is a single circuit with outlets in the garage currently that is 15amps/14 gauge wire. Electrical service enters the house at the opposite end of the house from the garage and I have a pair of panels in...

I'm in the market for a back yard shed. As much as I would love to try and build one myself I have absolutely no time to do it so I am going the pre-built route. I've visited about 5 different shed lots now in my area (Richmond, VA) and they are all built either in Lancaster PA or out around...

My house was built in 1986 and only had a single hard wired detector in the upstairs hall (all bedrooms are off that hall) and then a battery operated unit downstairs in the middle of the house. I'd like to add a bunch and really want them to be interconnected. A wireless system would...

I have a 24x24 attached garage with a bonus room above it. The ceiling of the garage is insulated (unknown other than yellow fiberglass circa 1986) and has sheetrock. The other exterior walls are not insulated, and I guess the house was sheathed with what looks like a masonite product...

Recently I ventured into the crawlspace to sweat some pipes in replacing a bad hose bib and noticed how nasty my crawlspace is. We live about a block from an 1800 acre reservoir and the ground is typically pretty damp. There is a sump pump in the crawlspace under the sun room (lowest corner of...
