I bought a 1/2 hp pedestal Rigid sump pump about 2.5 years ago. Well sometime in the last few days it froze up, and threw the breaker. I tried a few different things to unfreeze it, but nothing would budge it. The reason i bought it in the first place was that it had a lifetime warranty, no...

My employer (also my father) has thought of moving his shop out of the city, and to some land he owns in a rural area of MI. Well, with the city taxes going through the roof this year it looks like if he moves this will be the catalysts for the move. The business deals with live fish, and lots...

My 9-5 job is a manager of a wholesale ornamental fish house. Once of my main hobbies (moon lighting) is breeding fish, that i then sell to the wholesaler. Ive toyed with the idea of building a small 12x8 room in my basement with a floor drain, proper electrical setup, and most importantly a...

The concrete guy came out Tuesday and level the area, then back filled with about 20 yds of sand. We said it looks like we have great soil for concrete, mostly sand with a little bit of gravel mixed in. I told a few friends (who will be building pole barns soon) that i would document...

I picked these up yesterday from my local asian tool supplier (Sam and Jakes if your local and wondering). They feel nice in the hand, are finished well and seemed to be stamped a bit thicker then the cheaper Chinese ones. I bought some HF $3 knock offs like these awhile back, and broke one...

Ive been trying to this since i graduated college, but i always seem to miss it. I finally made a complete count of what i have in my tool chest, and i plan on completing as i get extra money. The timing is spot on as black friday is coming up and it could give me a head start on what i am...

I went and grabbed the overhead door from menards, and while i was there grabbed 220 sq ft of some laminated oak flooring they had on sale for $0.69/ft! I walked out the door with flooring and door for $540 after tax! Im a happy camper!
