    Garden hose reel recommendations?

    Did you loosen the Phillips head screw on the strap all the way? I used 3/4 hose and it was a bit snug, but it did fit.

    Building with Reclaimed Heritage Brick (and Demolishing a House)

    Summer of 1976 or 1977 I was 13 or 14. We tore down a double bricked wall and a utility room built of brick inside our carport for an addition onto the house. Brick by brick. I spent the entire summer cleaning said bricks of all mortar. These were the old bricks before they were made with the 3...

    Garden hose reel recommendations?

    Just an update. My Eley arrived yesterday. Yea, this is a very nice product! Wow! Also went with the extra capacity kit. Hopefully I'll have it installed by this weekend. Now I'm thinking of one for the hose bib in the front yard too.

    Garden hose reel recommendations?

    Quick question. I’m looking at the website and some photos show the copper curved connection and some show the hose directly attached to the center post. Which way does it come?

    Input Needed: I’m out of room

    You got the land and apparently the money, build another garage. Maybe build it bigger than you need though? Because you know you will be adding more to the stable.

    Garage Door height restriction - creative solution suggestions?

    This was almost a year ago. Wonder what the outcome was?? I was going to suggest putting the garage on hydraulics and lift the garage 2’ when needed.

    Creative Solution for Garage Door Opener

    My old house had a real low garage and opener. Not sure if you could get away with mounting the opener on the beam itself or not. But here’s a pic of my old setup. Looking closer, I just don't see a way to do it. The chain or jack screw has to be higher than your beam will allow. Unless you...

    Another garden hose thread. This time, 3/4" only please.

    OK, Forget pumps, transfer tanks, etc. Starting reading and from what I can tell, I would need a transfer pump and a pressure pump from the tank to the PW. I did a search for Rain Bird hose and got a pleasant surprise (other than no one having it in stock anywhere I guess due to fall coming...

    Another garden hose thread. This time, 3/4" only please.

    I've been looking for an excuse to buy the M18 transfer pump. So I'd just need the pump to a tank, then from the tank to the PW? And yes, fresh water. Going to start looking into this idea.....

    Another garden hose thread. This time, 3/4" only please.

    While a pump would possibly do the trick on the dock, I do plan on using it around the rest of the house as well, so I still need some quality hose. FWIW, I just watched the HF Predator pump video. Guy cranked it up and it started dancing around a little. All I could imagine is that thing...
