So i need to replace 2 6x6 PT posts on a porch roof at my son's house tomorrow. They are all twisty. This time they will have proper Simpson saddles - currently its held up with angle brackets and TBH it's more than a bit scary. It's one of a hundred projects we knew the house would need when...

So i have a 4" cast iron stink pipe sticking out of my roof. Every year birds manage to build a nest in there and then the toilets look for air. I'm sure you know the glug noise. Is this what i want ? https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00FHRFITO/?tag=atomicindus04-20 Cheers !

You folks will know this. I need two motion lights for the side and back of my garage. It gets scary dark at night. The question is are there any that can be wired together so that when either one is triggered they both come on ?

Looking at the lighting below online. It's for a ceiling where there is minimal clearance above the light and these need only a little over 2" above. Being LED is a bonus because of the low heat dissipation. So my question is what is the AC wiring going to look like ? I assume the two wires go...

So by small i mean 14x30. It's mostly a woodworking shop and my office. I spend a LOT of time out here. A few years ago i bought a HE furnace that is bigger than the shop needs (it may have gently fallen from a truck). I added a drum humidifier to it but in my mind the furnace does not run long...

Folks - If you haven't done so yet this year get out to the shop and do some snowblower maintenance. I suppose i should have sent this months ago or at least done the maintenance on the two that are in my shop now. Mine will be fine now. Neighbour is waiting for parts for his, though.

First off - don't make fun of my dachshunds. So during the warm summer days when the weinerdogs are in the shop with me ( it's also my office ) i like to open the garage door and fence them in. I have no real problem with what i have done in the attached picture but i would like something that...

So I'm over helping the neighbour put down some 3/4" plywood underlay this afternoon and an issue arose. The tongues and grooves are quite noticeably closer to one side so if you don't get them the right way you have a heck of a time mating them and then there is a pronounced ridge ( that'll...

Posted this on the fridge in the kitchen today. I hope they can take my subtle hint .....

Anyway he brushed by the drill press and got a bit of a zap. A little while later he actually touched it and got a good lift. Yah i know that barefoot may not have been the wisest thing ( especially after the first jolt ) and i know that the press and all electrical is good and my...

Hey, Folks - Up doing the roof on my back porch this week before the weather gets too hot and a question has arisen. Internet searches lead to two totally different trains of thought. So, does the snow and ice shied go on before the drip edge or after ? My thought is that if i do it before i...

I'm thinking 2x4 ....

Found these in the floor joists of an old house we just moved into and have no idea what they are. I figured I knew everything and owned every possible tool but these escape me totally. Any ideas ?
