Hi All, Building a house and doing a lot of the work myself, including the plans. Had an engineer do the foundation plan, pier and beam, and he just did the pre-pour inspection on my footer. He also "sealed" the plans for the house which is to be a "SIP" project. I am trying to avoid my...

I am betting that someone on this forum can tell me how to adjust the crosshair sight in a survey transit I bought, model in the title. I am just a home hack trying to use the transit for some initial elevations to show a contractor kinda what I want. I will depend on him to use a more...

Hi all, Here is the scenario. There is an existing older house on the property but I think it has a small capacity hookup, maybe just 75amp. I want to keep that little house as a guest house and install a new meter to replace the old one and run service to the new house underground, about...

Hi all, I'm researching the idea of spray foam insulation for a house in south Florida that I just bought. I looked into the attic to see 2' on center trusses with plywood decking so I think that the foam would stick well to that. The living room has a cathedral ceiling but there looks to be...

I just drained the oil out of my 40 year old 2 HP Craftsman compressor. It has been sitting a lot and I thought I'd clean it up for maybe another 40 years of use. There was a lot of sludge in the crankcase and I ran some ATF with Acetone through it with the bottom drain open so that there was no...

I won't blame the moderators at all for throwing this off as too off topic. However, I'm sure someone on here can easily answer my stupid question. I am looking at buying some property in S. Florida. I've only seen pictures of it but it looks like there is a 2 1/2" PVC pipe sticking up out of...

Apologies up front for posting questions before introducing myself. Cannot remember how I learned about this site, but it seems related to the HAMB and I've been over there so long, this just felt like home. So, from that you can tell that I am into old hot rods as I am currently putting...

Howdy All, I am thinking about putting new pre-colored siding on the old house and garage where there is now painted exterior plywood siding. Did a search on here and see Hardi-board mentioned a lot. Is that the front runner as far as endurance and longevity? Is it a good idea to put some...
