Sounds like it needs a trip back for warranty work.

FWIW, My son sent me a listing for a home for sale in the town I grew up in. In a rural area, but still not “country”, but they built a very small home with a huge shop and it was condemned and they never got to move in. Told him to look into the specifics but they didn’t have time to dig...

You might get authorization if you disguise it as a home with rear entry doors so it doesn’t look like a garage? Honestly, start with reading zoning laws in your area. When we were looking at our lake place this time last year, first thing I did was read up on simple things like a storage shed...

Give her time, she’ll come around. Looks like she’s getting comfortable with you.

I would have just filed the front of the sight down to match it.

I disagree. I got tired of tripping over power cords and constantly plugging and unplugging different tools into my extension cord. And the more cords I have, the bigger the trip hazard. Cannot tell you how many times I’ve pulled the trigger on the miter saw or table saw only to be followed up...

my son works for a guy like this. Lives in a gated community with rear garage entry facing the marsh. You can’t tell it’s a garage from the front. But the guy wants project cars built and at the same time he‘s constantly filling the shop with Corvettes and car Lifts to make room for more. He...

I made one out of a 5 gallon homer bucket, clear hose, an air hose fitting and used cigars for the smoke. It worked.

I wanted one of the green ones. Went to three different HF stores. Everyone (including the one I ordered online) would have the front right wheel sitting higher than the other three. Like the frame was welded up on a bad jig. Checked an orange one in the store and it was better, although it...

Mostly Milwaukee M12 & M18. But had to try out the Ryobi 18v hand held pressure washer. It was meh…had to buy a real one. I still use it for smaller jobs on the dock. I did buy the Ryobi 18V edger and it kicks ***. Also tried the Ryobi stick vac and it was a real POS. I should have...

Damnit! I do not want yet another battery platform. And my corded Bosch is getting long in the tooth.

There was a thread here on GJ a while back where a guy tested the M18 big boy and mid torque using torque sticks. The mid hit too fast and would not give the stick time to react and they would not work. The big boy hits slower and allows the torque stick time to do its job. I tested it with...

I did it here in SC. No fancy air dryer boxes, just correctly running air lines with a high quality water trap before your hose is all you need. If compressor is outside in a hut, it would benefit to also add some air circulation other than what the flywheel fan adds. Bigger the hut with higher...

Had a friend build one at his lake home. Shop was basically for boat and car storage off season since he’s not a wrench turner. But his local code made him jump through quite a few hoops. Double layers of Sheetrock on both sides of the wall, floor to ceiling that separates shop from living...

Yea, timeline is painful. Think about your cost savings vs. inflation and dragging it out 10 years. Might benefit to hire out years 1-3 to expedite 4-10. With the rapidly rising inflation you can lock in your investment at today’s inflation rate vs years down the road. What happens if you...

I have the Cutech 8” bench top model. Really nice unit. Not enough space for full size floor models.

I think the only items I’ve ever bought from them was specific size drill rod. They were very cheap and shipping was a bit high, but still a hell of a lot cheaper than “centering rods” to check the alignment on a silencer once mounted on a rifle barrel. Gun smith suppliers were charging $75+...

That’s good to know. I only do my own because I want Mobile 1 and not the blend Ford uses. Now there’s no way I’d bring in my own Motorcraft filter, but those are the only ones I use. I did pay my dealership to change my trans fluid when my car was new. Well known issue with the MT-82 in the...

My brother owned a Midas franchise and he did an exorbitant parts mark up as well. I’m talking about something I could walk in Advance and buy for $25 he was marking up to $75. Then he told me he was tired of customers complaining about it. I asked him what scale was he using for markups...

I want an older 318 with a bucket loader really bad. Planning on a Hustler ZTR in the spring, but no way to swing both and main focus is mowing and bagging. I guess it will just be a pipe dream.
