Glad I read this. My 100+ year old house was replumbed about 25 years ago with pvc/cpvc. I was thinking it might be time to do it again. Then I see in that technical bulletin "Because PVC is immune to corrosion, a minimum service life of at least 100 years can be expected". None of my pipe is...

I've had the best results using automotive touchup rattle cans, it seems to dry a bit slower. If you are outside, paint early in the morning when the temperature is cooler, which also slows drying. I've done some motorcycle tanks and fenders and have had almost no sanding to get a smooth finish...

Your proposed method works. I've done it.

VERY nice jig!

Finally got my hotrod bike off the lift. It was a part time project so it took way too long. I think all I have left to do is to connect the rear light and put on a fuel hose and it should be back on the road. You may notice there's no paint on the tank or fenders. Once I got the paint stripped...

My T12 fluorescents didn't like cold weather and I didn't like the energy usage and cost of the bulbs. So, in order to get better light distribution, reduce energy costs and get longer life out of the bulbs I chose to go with screw in LED bulbs. I have a 24' x 30' garage with a 9' ceiling. I...

I'll edit it.

It may be related to how often the lights are turned on and off. I have 4 fixtures that are cycled dozens of times a day and the bulbs last about 4 or 5 months. I also have one fixture that is on 24/7 and the same bulbs have been in it for about 6 years since I installed it. Same Sylvania bulbs...

Looks pretty neat but doesn't seem practical to have so much space out of reach.

Keep a piece of masonite handy to put on your benchtop when working on things that will damage the surface. I've been doing it for almost 50 years.

I cut a few inches off the bottom of my drywall and installed a strip of composite deck trim. It's sealed to the floor with urethane caulking. This past winter I had almost 1/2" of water laying up against it several times and it didn't hurt it at all. It's hard to see in the photo but there's a...

Add some diagonal bracing.

I tried a belt sander. Now it's sitting on the shelf in non-running condition after a crash.
