I've got all wood, single pane windows on the south side (front) of the house that are 30+ years old and failing. This side of the house gets really hot on a sunny day and gets full weather all year round. I need to replace all of the windows (four) and probably the front door as well before...

I cannot seem to find a couple of threads on how to build an antenna solution for use with FM radio in the shop when experiencing the problem with fluorescent ballasts and radio reception. Can anyone produce a link?

Just got the costco online coupon email indicating MaxJax lifts are $1999 at costco. The price includes delivery. For some reason, posting the link isn't working. Easy to google. Last time they went on sale, I used that fact to get lower/matching price quotes from the other vendors. I think...

I have a MaxJax with a Trooper in the air. After lifting the car to the top, I went to let her down onto the highest safety stop and one side lowered but the other is stuck in the up position. I put some jack stands under the arms of the stuck side to off load the weight from the...

Figuring on swapping out the ****** in my old Trooper and wondering which way to go: Arcan floor jack from Costco: (http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200345429_200345429) mated to this adapter...

Tell me you think this is viable: I have a 28x28 pole barn with a shallow pitch roof (4/14) under a bunch of very large and very productive trees. I have an on-going problem with accessing it safely to get branches and leaves off. It's corregated steel and slipperier than snot even when dry...

Hello heaterphiles, Moving forward on my heating project and could use experienced recommendations with regard to sizing a NG unit heater. I've settled on either the Modine or the Reznor. Disclaimer: I used probably six or seven BTU/heat loss/heater sizing calculators that came-up with...

Stopped by HF last night to pick-up a torque wrench and asked about arrival of the 13 drawer cabinet in the gloss red finish (like the 5 drawer is currently). I was told that there are no plans to move from the dull dark pinkish powder coated version. When asked about the move toward gloss on...

Just about to tear into a gasket job on an old Quincy compressor. The bolts holding the cylinder casing onto the crank casing are recessed such that there are fin castings directly above the bolts leaving only about 3/4" of clearance above the bolt. I can easily get a standard wrench in there...

Just about to pull the trigger on one of these and can't for the life of me figure-out how to get it home. Dealer says I have to either have a forklift available to offload it or I can get it from the terminal (wherever that is) if i pay additional $. Another vendor said "no problem, we'll...

Per the title, I'm trying to figure-out how to get up on the shop roof without damaging it. The roof is made of corregated, powder-coated steel and is supported by rafters on 2 ft centers. I'm pretty sure If I get up there, I'm going to dent or pucker a panel. My shop is under the trees and...

Hello all, First post here (have been lurking) on this wonderful site. Have been contemplating a lift and have been somewhat intrigued by the Maxjax. The main question that I have for those of you who own/use one is whether or not you would have made the same choice/purchase if you had higher...
