BTW, many of HD's mouldings and other Big Box stores buy their mouldings from Alexandria. Huge selection and online catalogue here: http://www.alexmo.com/?page=mouldings

Sort of on topic. I replaced all the baseboards in a previous house I owned. I couldn't use a coping saw to save my life, but I wanted to do it right. I bought this: http://www.thecoper.com It works amazingly well and can perfectly cope a baseboard in about 5 seconds. (Professionals - no...

Milton, kbs....Brilliant. Weekend warrior, the faucet is at the back of a raised garden with retaining blocks around it. The trees are pyrimidial cedars so they are okay where they are, but thanx for the suggestion anyway.

I should have been more specific. This will be an extension, not moving. (Boomer, they can win any 3 quarter game. Now 4 quarters, that's something else entirely.)

Advice and opinions needed. My outside faucet is about 6 feet away from where it should be. I currently have to crawl behind some trees to get it. I want to extend the outlet about 6 feet, including at least two 90 degree outside and inside corners to allow it to route to beside my front...

Nice find.....and on the subject of Coke/Pepsi, how stupid can you be???? http://www.ngngsports.com/2012/07/ronaldinho-drinks-pepsi-press-conference-loses-750000-coca-cola-endorsement-deal.html

OP poster here. The problem with this is not only the impact socket needed. It's that the 1 1/8 nut is at the end of the mainshaft on a 1974 MGB Overdrive Transmission that is on the bench, not on the car. So, I can't just reef on it because any turning of the nut, turns the drive flange which...

We don't have HF up here, but we do have Princess Auto - checked there this morning - nada. Thanx for the advice. I will wrap the chrome with tape and see what happens.

I have one nut to take off. Shop manual says I need an impact gun to remove it. I tried without an impact gun and realize the manual is right. I have a impact gun but don't have a 1 1/8 impact socket. I won't ever be taking this nut off again - one time off, then one time on again - so...

I just bought a Blanco Acclaim off of evilbay. It's a very solid faucet. I too am finished with PricePfister, Delta and Moen.

I've read of some guys using a dishwasher for a parts washer. Rough that in? Central Vac lines?

Re: what did you do in your garage today? I just installed a central vac to be used only for the cars. It's a small Husky unit. I mounted it above and between the two overhead doors and ran the pipes down between the doors. Works like a charm. Bought it brand new off Kijiji for $100.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? I'll tell you what I did and I'm not happy!! SOB!! I've got a 1974 MGB. I am putting on brand new wire wheels so I need brand new hubs. I spent four hours today trying to get the right front one on. It wouldn't tighten up. No way, no how. Finally...

I've got the rack you don't want. I have an MDX. I keep my winter/summer tires and rims on it, as well as an extra for my Volvo. It's mounted way up high. Ya, it's a pain to get the wheels off and on, but it's only twice a year. They are out of the way and out of mind. I like many of the other...

I have an NG heater on the ceiling of my garage. The thermostat won't go much below 10C (50F). I want to replace it with a digital thermostat. There are only two wires to the current thermostat. Will this work? Or at least will this type work (if it doesn't go low enough)...

We've got a Sterling brand NG heater installed similarly to the one you have. It is excellent at heating the upper portion of the garage. I put in an industrial ceiling fan, running on a very low speed. Circulates the air and keeps the whole garage warm, rather than the top half hot and the...

I'm thinking of building a secret compartment in my basement. Right now we have a bare wall, below grade with about a 3x4 space designed for a fireplace (which isn't there right now). In this picture (which was the way house looked when we bought it) you can see the big old console TV and the...

nehog, since this will be a more or less permanent installation, I have thought against using a battery charger. Otherwise, thanx for the great advice, you and others above. I just have to find the right power supply now.

Perfect. Thanx for the info.

I want to install a car stereo inside. I have a sauna and want to put a stereo in there. Actually, I need a marine stereo and speakers due to the heat and humidity. I am not putting in a separate amp. I will not be cranking the unit. So, I know I need an a regulated 12V DC power supply...
