I'm looking now at the MasterForce on menards.com and it looks like a nice set. Very comparable to the Tool Vault and I dig the dark green. They are showing top+bottom for $1098. With shipping it ends up being $1360.29. Too bad the closest Menards store is in Ohio. Does Menards put these on...

Title pretty much says it all. Looks like with current prices and sales tax the HF 56" combo will run me about $1175 and I have to get it home myself. The Tool Vault 56 is currently $1655 shipped. $480 difference is not exactly pocket change to me, although, I view this as the last tool box I...

Still none in Chesterfield VA costco. Really going to be bummed if they don't come back, I'd like to grab at least 4 more of them.

Yeah I can see some people having a good experience with the $199 welder, but in no way would I ever expect it to match or even exceed that of the industry standard Miller that costs four times as much. Talk about suspect...

My costco had none to speak of yesterday here in central VA. They had a bunch of the T8 LED bulbs for retro fit but that was it. I have two of these fixtures I bought a while back in my garage and really want 4 more. I hope they aren't gone forever.

The Nest is pretty interesting. Expensive yes, but with a little one now a lot of my spending priorities have changed. Thanks for the tips guys.

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...

Yup there is no question why you see new builders advertising a "free bonus room" in a lot of new sub divisions. It's cheap square footage for them to add and the cheaper they can do it the more profitable it becomes. The idea of a minisplit has already crossed my mine. I've noticed a few in...

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...

In the fire apparatus business it was the standard compartment interior finish for a long time. Now everyone seems to want to Line-X everything. Probably would be nice for inside a shop. Good idea.

I would highly recommend getting an inspection done. In VA as it was explained to me, you could use virtually anything that shows up on the inspection to walk away from the deal without penalty. So if for nothing else, it buys you some more time to think over the purchase. As one poster...

I think that is definitely part of the issue here. If you face the house from the street, the yard slopes towards the right rear corner. The front left corner of the house is the highest ground, and I am suspicious of the downspot at that corner. It run into a brown flexible plastic pipe and...

I didn't really consider the humidity levels in the house. I think a lot of the comfort from air conditioning comes from dropping the humidity rather than just the cooler temperature. I should have mentioned I'm in central VA so basically the same climate as NC. This sounds like it may even...

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...

Totally agree here. Last house was in a subdivision without an HOA and it showed. Trashed moved in all around me and there wasn't much I could do. It hurt my value when I sold but it's behind me now. I will say I was very careful about the HOA I got into. This neighborhood the rules...

But man what a hot dog & soda for $1.50! My wife hates when I go to Costco because I'm always burping up the hotdog for the rest of the day...

I've got a Makita LXT 18v brushless hammer drill and 3 speed brushless impact driver. I got them at xmas last year and they came with a pair of 4.0ah batteries. I've since added an 18v recip saw as well as the 36v (takes a pair of 18v batteries) full size circular saw. I couldn't be happier...

I just picked up two of these tonight. Still a good amount left at the Chesterfield, VA Costco. They were $29.99 and had an asterisk on the sign. I'd say maybe 15 or so left. Thanks for the tip!
