What is your terrain like? I love my Kubota BX but I wouldn’t think any of the subcompacts are good on rough ground with those small wheels.

I’ve had this one gallon eagle gas can for a few years now. My guess is that it was used a few times or never at all. Clean as a whistle on the inside - nicely galvanized. It includes what I would guess is a measuring cup for pre-mix. I believe the paint loss is from decades in a shelf...

OK - I was forgetting that the back of the house had some crappy vinyl siding. So no aluminum siding was there to block anything. And apparently the FanFold does block Wi-Fi. I put my extender on an extension cord and set it on the window. Now it works as it did before. Looks like I will...

We recently had our home resided with vinyl siding. It was previously very old aluminum siding. In the past, I was able to use a Wi-Fi extender in the house to get Wi-Fi in the garage. Does the FanFold have a foil backing that could block Wi-Fi? Could it possibly block Wi-Fi more than the...

I used LP Smartside on the interior of my garage. It went up easy and looks nice. If you want to hang anything over about 5 pounds on the wall you had better get a screw into a stud.

Thanks for the replies! Jim

We are getting our house resided and are removing the old aluminum siding. There is a layer of perhaps 1/2” styrofoam insulation that comes down with the old siding. I will be blowing insulation in my garage ceiling later this year. Is there anything wrong with breaking down the old...

I’d like to have one of the small puck sized Alexa devices outside. We have an outlet in our bedroom that is right under a bow window that would give some shelter to Alexa. I’d prefer not having a 120v receptacle outside there. It there a way to tap off the back of the bedroom outlet with a...

I’d like something reliable as well! All I can add is that one of mine was dripping tons of water. After taking the water pan out I saw a hole that was stuffed with muck. Back in business after that. And last winter I took the other one apart and cleaned the condenser and any other dusty muck...

Verizon box turned out to be fine. I had rebooted it and my router multiple times yesterday with no go. This afternoon a reboot took care if it. Maybe Verizon was having issues yesterday. I know I sure was! Thanks again for the help.

Thanks to all for the help. Turns out a breaker DID flip, but it didn’t look flipped at all. I reset it and all is good now. Well, my Verizon internet isn’t working - I will have to give them a ring AFTER I put all my electrical tools away. Perhaps the Verizon box was zapped. Or maybe just...

I have already undid the wires I connected. It is back to what it was before I messed with it. The three wires each have a wire nut and are not in use. I did not trip a breaker. However this house had quite a few GFCI outlets I imagine my next step is to chase off of these down and...

I hadn’t heard of MWBC before but one of the wires I connected was of unknown origin. It’s been a long week and I was being dumb. If I connected something from the other phase would that double the voltage? Thanks for the help Jim

So we are getting our house sided and are removing the siding ourselves. I was surprised to find several wire nutted wires hidden behind the old siding just above our exterior basement door. There is also a box inside that door that has always had 3 wire nutted wires in it. I don’t really need...

It looks great It goes up easy You may struggle a bit getting paint in the grooves Hanging anything heavy will need to happen on a stud

I like the “working hands” lotion containers. All stickers peel off nicely. Not a good solution for all your various bits, but good for the common construction bits that accumulate.

I'm finishing the interior of my garage and would like to put an outdoor outlet at the back of the garage. I have 1.5" foam board between the girts and 3.5" fiberglass insulation. The outlet will be rarely used, but seems like I should put one there just in case. What is the best way to do...

Years ago a friend moved away and put most of her stuff in a storage facility. Several months later I and several others were tasked to load a moving truck and drive it to her new apartment. She hired one moving guy to help us. I decided he was the smartest man I ever met. He just pointed to...

It is hard to tell distances and heights in your picture but you may want to lay out the tv size on the wall with painters tape or a piece of cardboard. Then you can sit down and be sure it is comfortable to view.

I wouldn’t want a big window over a work bench that is used hard. I worry about something flying away and breaking the window. I placed my bench so the window is over the left side. The right side has the vice and gets the hammering etc so no window there.
