    Hardwood Kitchen Flooring- Under the Cabinets or Not?

    Hey Guys: We're having our kitchen remodeled and have come upon an interesting choice. Some of the remodelers/floor guys say to lay the new hardwood and install the cabinets over it. Some say it's a waste of good hardwood material and offers no benefits, put the cabinets on plywood to get the...

    Window A/C- No Evap Drain?

    Hey guys- I bought a used (prod 3-2012, model# AHH24DQH1) GE window unit A/C for cooling my shop, it's 24,100BTU, 220v. I installed it today per directions with a 5* slant, it cools my 1000sf work area great. There's no water drain! I can look through the vents while it's running, the evap...

    DIY Car Body Soda Blasting/Walnut Hulls

    Yes, I did a search and it seems all of the threads are about sending out a body to be blasted. I have a good 5hp Quincy pump and a 100lb capacity gravity fed blaster and I should be able to do this myself. It might work well with walnut shells or soda but I'm not against buying a piece of...

    Mig Welding- Harbor Freight Wire vs Name Brand

    Hey guys: I'm restoring an old car and migging in a lot of panels, I moved up from a Lincoln Handy Mig to a Millermatic 135 and am amazed at how much better it welds. I've used both name brand and HF wire in both welders and can't really tell a difference between the two. Can any experiences...

    Air Jack on a Four Post Lift

    Hey guys: A friend of mine just bought a Backyard Buddy and we're wondering how an air jack like this would work. He's got the sliding crossmember designed for jacks but I don't think an air/hydraulic one will fit well. Is anyone using a jack in this situation they really like? Thanks!

    Rejuvenating Milwaukee Batteries

    Hey Guys: Yes, I did a search and did not come up with anything. I have 4 12v Milwaukee cordless drill batteries that are not worth a **** to use right now- some won't charge at all, some work for 2 minutes and die. I thought there was a thread about rejuvenating these batteries but I can't...

We're staying in Harrisburg (I made the reservations months ago and that's the closest I could get at a reasonable price!), arriving Wednesday and departing Friday. We're thinking about "Night...

    Craigslist Search Engine

    Is anyone using a search engine that they like? I used CraigsPal but it was shut down recently due to a cease-and-desist order (?). I liked it's ability to filter in many ways like location, price, category, etc. When I Google Craigslist search engines I get so much BS it's unreal. Thanks!

    School Me on DeVilbiss Guns

    Howdy guys: I'm looking to buy a new half-decent paint gun and am overwhelmed by the choices available. I had couple of DeVilbiss guns years ago when I had the shop but they went with the shop sale. I need to paint some panels on a car I'm selling so I am once again going to try my hand :lol...
