In 1993-1994, we did a six figure remodel and bought the best kitchen appliances money could buy. In the past six months, the freezer in the Sub-Zero has quit as have the dish washer, microwave and last night, the built in oven quit. Before you post that I was lucky to get 20+ years out of...

I have to replace a leaky supply valve that is probably 45 years old. I would like to use something with a shutoff that is easily reached. Using a 4' rod is a PIA. Current valve is down 4' as it is in Colorado. This is a vacation home and I want it to be quick and easy to turn the main water...

Have recently had to deal with trees and insurance companies. No point in boring you with the details. However, got a card in the mail today from a guy with a portable saw mill that offers to remove the trees and create lumber for projects. Can't help but wonder if he's using a list provided...

Just finished doing Trex over a waterproof membrane on the upper and lower decks of my houseboat. Now I want to do some siding to breakup the slab look. First off, what ever I use has to be light weight and easy to install. I personally like the look of corrugated steel as I have it on my...

I have the generic Chinese sand blasting cabinet that has miserable lighting. Even with a shop vac hooked up, you see can't see squat. Walking through Ikea last month, I spotted an LED fixture with three pinpoint lights that can be adjusted for $39.95. Since it's designed for a ceiling or...

Picked this up recently and looking for info on the unit and some guidance as to using it. It appears to have 12" bed and 26" overall. It does have a Craftsman logo, but can't find a model number

Since updating to IOS 7.o something, I have to log in evertime I visit any of the Atomic Industries websites as well as several other forums on my iPad mini. Sometimes it's quick and easy, other times it's a PIA. No issues when I use my Apple desk top or laptop. Any thoughts? I did visit the...

My Backyard Buddy was purchased 15 years ago and I recently had some issues with the safety catches. Bought the upgrade kit along with new pulley axles with zerk fittings. My brother and I installed the new parts and it is well worth the time and money.

I've been using Blitz "jerry cans" for years around the house and on off road trips since 1985. Went to a couple of hardware/automotive stores for some new spouts and gaskets. Nothing! went on line and found this...

Made a couple of cross pieces with cleats at either end and a bunch of screw eyes to hang pieces for painting. Note fender covers hung on wall with clothes pins.

In the process of changing property management companies, I had to change a deadbolt and door lock set, both using the same key. Had my choice of a Schlage combo set at $56 or an Ace house brand for $29.95. Went with the Schlage as that was the brand already installed some 15 years ago. The...

I have a house boat that needs some sort of floor treatment on the outside upper deck. Besides looking ugly, there are some hairline cracks that need to be filled in. And, it is not a real smooth surface like a garage floor. Looking for ideas on what I can use that will be water/weatherproof...
