Mine quit, first no reverse, now nothing. Before I pitch it, I wondered if I could buy a new switch at a reasonable cost. HF says they are available but do not have any information on where. Anybody know where I can buy one? (I do not use the wrench that often to justify a high dollar one)...

Currently we have a rocker switch on the side of our kitchen cabinet island. It keeps getting bumped on and off. I want to recess it in. I would be happy with a typical toggle switch if it was recessed. I keep thinking of the old recessed outlet they used to put on kitchen soffits to power a...

I just bought a car hauler trailer with diamond plate steel floor. I think I want to add some more tie down points like the 4 there now. They are recessed rings basically flush to the floor secured by 4 bolts. What would be the best way to cut the holes to recess the "ring cup" into it. Will...

I have a new house and had a stainless steel double wall chimney put in from the basement thru the first floor and out the roof. I find that I have a back draft on the chimney. The stove installer thinks it is a result of the house being too tight. I foamed the walls an inch and then batts of...

I have a wood stove without a fan to circulate the air around it. I would like to put a small fan near it and have it come on and off as the wood stove heats up. Similar to the simple plug in I have that keeps the crawl space above freezing. I just plug the disc heater into it and when it gets...

Went to Menards today to get a Profusion 5,000 watt heater. They were out but had a Comfort Zone 5,000 watt heater for the same price. It appears to be the same identical unit but it says it is made in Canada while I thought the Profusion was made in USA. The controls, settings, etc all are in...

Was just on CL under tools and saw three lifts for sale in one ad. Price was $850. It was listed yesterday. One was a rotary and one appeared to be low lift two post.

I have an older model brake and they do not make the replacement slide in vinyl strip anymore. I talked to tapco and there are no replacement parts available for the older model. The strip is narrower then the replacement strip they offer. Has anybody found a replacement for the older model...

I have three garage doors to buy for my new house. The first bid is with a 6.5 r value. To increase it to 12.9 r value the cost increases by 15% , to increase the r value to 18.4, it increases by 20% from the base price. I am trying to decide if there is enough of a value increase to justify...

I think my touch pad is not working properly. When I want to take the plow up or down, it works fine and relatively quickly. When I want to angle it left or right it is sluggish but does make noise if it does not move. I had a new solenoid installed on it about a month ago when it would not...

Just bought a blow torch to hook to a 20# LPG tank for starting brush pile fires and burning weeds. The gas line is only 6 feet or so. Can I use an air line hose to extend the line? Do I need a special type of rubber line? I hate to spend too much as I only have $15 in the torch after the 25%...

wiring my new house for a door bell. Would like one that has a ringer for first floor as well as one I can put in basement workshop. Do they make such an item? I tried searching but when you put in "double ringer door bell" it wants to send you to two tone for front and back door.

Does anybody have sliding windows in their garage door? I was thinking how nice it would be to keep the door closed and yet have venitlation and screens. I have never seen them but it seems like a neat idea. I am thinking of something similar to sliding basement windows, long and narrow say...

I was just given this framing nailer from my son in law. It has never been used. He figures if he gives it to me I will have it set up and ready for him to borrow when he needs it, pretty smart guy. Anyway, I have been trying to find nails for it. I have read the operating instructions...

Looking for suggestions for a small air compressor for my son for Christmas. He is a homeowner not a handyman person. I see him using it for lawn mower tire, bicycle tire and an occassional car tire. No tools or painting applications. I would like something with on board storage of hose...

I have a 9 foot opening in my new basement garage area that leads to the rest of the basement. The building inspector says I need to close it off (with or without a typical door) or make the area it leads to fireproof also. Fireproof meaning drywall on the ceiling. Any ideas how to create a...

I am building a new house and just bought a used (good condition) heavy black electric cord to run from the temporary elec pole to the house. Seller thinks it is # 6 wire. I know enough about wire that I am sure it is # 10 or bigger . Since I am only using a power drill or circular saw, etc I...

double post, sorry

I am building a new house with ground level garage with steps to basement in garage plus a 20 x 40 man cave garage in basement. I am wondering about fumes, mainly gas fumes. I know gas is heavier then air so they accumulate on the floor. My floor drains exit to daylight so they should help...
