Any Daikin experts? I have a dual zone Daikin Mini Split, its an 18K BTU outdoor unit and 2 x 9K BTU indoor units.

I've got a lot of lawn, and some of it is between all my fruit trees and around my generator. I've been tempted to put some kind of rock down instead. Has anyone done anything similar?

On the side of my garage the brick is straight, but for whatever reason the foundation is not, so there is this weird overlap. Best way to make this look better?

I can't tell if this 12v battery is bad, what do you think? I can probably re-shape it back to square, right??? I had to bend the heck out of the UPS to get it out Nothing a clamp can't fix

I posted this a while ago, and its been going well rotating out the gas. Never had a problem https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/gas-can-storage-from-scrap-2x4s.482264/ Problem is, the pump I got *****. Its this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010GNM7H4/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I got it 3...

Got some crazy heat here in Houston I guess next time I will not cheat and do 5.2 gallons in each, and I'll just do the 5 as I should be!

I was going to buy one, but it would be at least $45 for some Chinese junk. Ended up using all scrap 2x4's, and all mis-matched used/misc screws and lag bolts. Came out pretty good I think

Well, not a drill but a rotary hammer. I got this from HF about 3 years ago and its paid for itself probably 5 or 6 times over https://www.harborfreight.com/power-tools/demo-hammers/rotary-hammers/11-amp-1-916-in-sds-max-type-variable-speed-rotary-hammer-64425.html FANTASTIC for the price...

I'm sure just like everyone, I have a big mix-n-match of sockets. Some 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2, some 6 sided and some 12 I liked to think I would always keep them nice and matched, but that never happens, as in the past I would always be missing a socket while I had my wifes car half apart, and had to...

When I moved in, we replaced a small metal fence with a wooden fence behind our trash cans, and we generally enjoyed it (Despite being poorly constructed! Used an existing post there, and it was my first ever time building a fence) Since then we got a generator installed, pool removed...

Per the title, I need to do some welding to my trailer frame. Can I just go at it, or do I need to disconnect any lights etc? Its a Big Tex 60PI

My garage entry door is terrible, the frame is rotted out and it needs to be replaced as there are many other problems Can someone suggest a door style and color? The catch here is that I'd like to keep a cat-flap in it! So does that mean wood is the way to go? Or is it easy enough to cut a...

Alright, not hurricane proof, but much better than it was. I have no walls up, so I figured I'd take this time to put in stud ties, replace some rotted studs, hurricane ties and better foundation anchoring Most of my rafters are like this, not very well connected Before ordering hurricane...

Around the side of my house I have an extension that has always been called a "sunroom", its a room with not much use, and a large amount of windows is mainly the problem. These below windows provide zero use to us, and just face the fence I am already replacing windows, so I don't want to pay...

I have ENDLESS offcuts of 2x4, 2x6, 2x8 and 4x4 posts. I just can't bring myself to throw them out, as I'm sure i'll always need them. I do end up using them, but I create offcuts faster than I use them Anyone else in my shoes? What do you do?

I think I'm set for everything else. If the power goes out I'm good, if the gas goes out I'm good, but if the water goes out its a pain. My plan here is to tee into the water line going to my garage and attach a shutoff and then plumb in a well pump, and then an IBC tote with a studor vent...

I already have a surge protector in my main panel (Generac ATC) and one in my first electrical panel. Is spending the $75 each for Intermatic AG3000 surge protectors on my main AC and 2 mini splits worth the cost?

When I bought my house in 2019, I had a lot of stumps and old concrete set posts I needed to remove. I went to Home Depot and found the Crescent Bull Bar. It helped a lot and I've gotten a ton of use out of it, but through the years of me putting all my weight on it, its bent where the metal...

Pretty disappointed in Channellock. A year or so ago I bought some Channellock 317Z Needle Nose pliers. I paid extra for them because they were made in the USA Right away I noticed the jaws were cut wrong, but I needed them so I used them So I emailed Channellock pictures, and they said...

I think I did pretty good here. Any other tips for making it even better? I was thinking about getting some UV resistant insulation for the 3/8 line just to give it some protection, but I'm not sure Before: Now
