    Identifying Pipe Threading Head Thread

    I have a bunch of Ridgid 12-R replacement die sets new in package, or unused and missing packaging. Some are stamped NPT. Some are stamped NPSM. Some have no stamping to indicate thread. TPI is not listed anywhere, but would be implied by nominal pipe size & thread. I am assuming none of...

    Vidmar Caster Mounting

    No photo is showing, but I understand everything. Simpler for me to just use an already cut, 1/4" plate base if not mounting casters directly to the standoffs. The cabinet I referenced is missing the cover, but I already found one in the correct, stock color. The standoffs were built into the...

    Adding foundation sill plate anchors when not required?

    That is my initial thought. However, being the project is not happening soon, I can mull it over, considering other’s opinions. All I have found is 16D’s driven through the plate into blocks of wood wedged into a core in the newer garage bay. I can bore some inspection holes and use my...

    Adding foundation sill plate anchors when not required?

    Michigan. 2 – bay garage was added to existing 1950’s home 1 – bay at a time between ~1950’s and - ~1980’s. Typical 2x4 stick framed construction for all. Open cell, 8x8x16 CMU (concrete block) foundation walls on footings for all. Garage foundation walls are only 2 – blocks tall. No apparent...
