I was looking into a central vacuum system for my house when I first moved in. I was going to run PVC to the drop and then use this system called Hide-A-Hose? that retracts the hose into the PVC hardlines when not in use. There's a couple different variations of this idea out there, but I...

I'll be watching this one. Especially because I need some custom skid plates for my Jeep. '87 with a 5.3L AX15 combo.

I've been watching this thread for awhile since I've been on the board. I just wanted to throw out a warning/disclaimer for people in the US looking to buy this lift. Currently, the rate of duty on it from China should be 0%. However, the US is different from every other country in world in...

Just this week I had some theft from my 87 Jeep. My tuffy glove compartment was unlocked because it only had two cheapie screwdrivers in it that they left. But they also stole my stereo out of the dash. I always buy the cheapest stereo that has an aux input on the front for my ipod because...

I've got an 07 Mazda 3 with a manual for my DD. It's a blast to drive. My fiancee's sister has an 06 Mazda 3 with an automatic and her transmission is crapping out at 50k miles. I got to drive the 09 Mazda 6 for about a week when my car was in an accident and I really liked it. I'll give you...

Glad it's working out for you. Not sure if Radon is an issue in your area, but if it is, you might want to add a 4" PVC pipe to the cap, vent it outside and then seal the cap real good.

I use Google SketchUp, it's a free CAD program, pretty easy to get the hang of, just give yourself an hour or two messing around.

Not sure how different CA is from VA, but there's no way you should have to pay a ticket before going to court for it. That's completely contrary to the entire Justice system. As for the DA not getting involved in a simple traffic infraction, sure it might not be the actual DA, but the...

As an additional option from a situation similar to yours, give a call to the DA for traffic court. Explain that the officer was mistaken in thinking you were on the phone. Offer to send the DA your notarized cell phone records. Explain that you have no problem in showing up to court but that...

Well since the wall isn't load-bearing, it's really easy to do the work yourself on this. If you've never done any construction before, it's intimidating, but don't let that stop you. The best way to start is really just to swing a hammer into a wall (make sure there's no outlets around!)...

I'll consolidate in this post since similar suggestions keep being raised: 1. The boat is 6" too long for the garage. 2. The boat and trailer are both new and you won't sell. 3. The boat is a $70k boat you got for designing a website and therefore you won't park it outside. 4. The trailer...

Well look at that, they're right by me. I'm just about a mile southeast from there. Springfield is the area where all the highways converge (I95, I395, I495) and is only about 2 miles southwest of them. Old Town really is a good time, Murphy's Irish Pub is a favorite, but I also really like...

Thanks! That's actually where I live, in Alexandria. Not the nice Old Town area, but closer to Springfield. Nice 1960's home that I've been redoing and no HOA :bounce:

I'm from Northern Virgina, just outside DC. I've been lurking the forums for a while and thought I would register. I currently have no garage, but I'm in the planning stages for building an attached one on my home and the advice and ideas here have been top notch.
