    Adding a handle to a pancake compressor

    Very nice. That seems like a very hefty motor and pump for a little pancake. Is it a 3 gallon?

    Light switches don't use the ground?

    There was a scene in that show that still bothers me to this day. Barney had to squirt his little tank of knockout gas into the hotel room next door. He unscrews an outlet in his room then uses special fancy spy tools to unscrew the outlet on the other side of the wall in the adjoining room...

    How to install light fixture in 60 year old Chicago high rise

    I would use one of these directly into the back of the fixture. I can't imagine the fixture is so slim that you can't fit a couple of wire nuts inside. http://www.orbitelectric.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/1200x1200/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/d/u/duplex_ac_flex_mc_conn.jpg

    Light switches don't use the ground?

    I remember soldering a piece of bare copper to a ground that was cut 1" past the jacket in a switch box. In a plastic box you might be able to pull some more cable through if it doesn't have some kind of clamp on it. Depending on how it's wired, if power hits the switch box first, you will need...

    Cordless Powered Caulking Gun

    I get that this an excuse to buy a new tool but... When I think of caulking on gutters I think a few end caps and and a few joint connectors and some corner connectors, maybe a 10" bead on each. How big is this gutter job?

    Checks and no proof of purchase gift cards were sent out months ago. The class that is still waiting is those who submitted documentation and opted for gift cards. None of those have been mailed yet.

    Man did I just luck into a haul tonight...

    Did the soda can cause the stain or did the wily seller put it on top of the stain to hide it for the photo?

    Accidental bathroom remodel

    Two hours ago, lady next door ringing my doorbell in a mad panic "help me, my whole house is flooding!". I grab a pair of channellocks and charge to the rescue. The plastic nut that holds the flex feed to the toilet tank had cracked right off and was ******* all over the room. I shut the valve...

    Tools to cut down urban overgrowth

    If the OP's block is similar the the one behind, it looks like everything going in or out of the backyard must go through the house. Full concrete pad? I wouldn't want to get involved in that job. Pavers is the way to go but hauling all that gravel through the house? Might have to just go with...

    Tools to cut down urban overgrowth

    I would be very careful spraying chemicals in that environment. If you kill the guy next door's tomato plants or rose bushes he will not be happy.

    Accidental bathroom remodel

    I have that same blue in one of my bathrooms. It was done some time in the 60s. The fixtures and tile were coordinated by American Standard for color match. The sink and crapper are gone, replaced with white. Still have the blue 4'X4' high wall tub/shower base.
