How much do you get for the flashlights?

I have one of these. A totally useless, obsolete item. I haven't touched it since the 80s. It's so useless, I can't even ebay it.

I got one, was my father's. I don't think he was ever a paperboy, though.

Vinyl window fabricator shops are numerous in my area, YMMV. I would think they could give you a decent price on fixed pane windows. Worth calling around.

Seems everything with these new brand names shows up as "can't use" on the 20% coupon.

Cut whatever you have to to get it apart. The real challenge is going to come when you tackle the outer metal sleeve after you dig the rubber out. You can cut some slots inside the tube with a sawzall or hacksaw but sharpen your chisels, you're gonna need them.

If it's a replaceable rubber bushing, I would drill the rubber out and replace the destroyed parts. The bolt is going to be hardened steel, my choice would be a cutting wheel.

Never used the stuff, always been a copper guy and I'm pretty good with it. I may be doing some small plumbing jobs, water not HVAC. Is there any advantage in trying pex? I know it's flexible and easier to run. I have everything I need to work copper and wouldn't want to invest in any more...

I remember seeing asbestos boards inside toasters when I was a kid.

Is the attic directly above the garage or is there a room in between?

If you're running new wire through the walls, it's pretty much a given that you'll be opening some holes not just at the panel but in places along the entire path.

The stuff should be thoroughly soaked through with water/dish detergent solution before touching it. Once soaked, it can't become airborne. Get it in plastic bags while wet and seal the bags tight. Of course you want to wear a good respirator and full body coverall which also gets sealed in bags.

Without knowing if these are recent immigrant families who arrive with nothing or just needy families who have been here a while it's hard to guess. My thinking is if he likes tools and likes to fix things that he already has a hammer and pliers and screwdrivers and if he doesn't, he can buy...

I submitted pretty early, still waiting. Has anybody who claimed A+B received their card yet?

Back in the 80s on a trip to DC. Walking down the street on a very hot summer night. As we walked passed a cabbie getting a jump start - boom. He got sprayed in the eyes and couldn't see, we guided him into a coffee shop and flushed his eyes. To this day I always close my eyes before I clamp the...

I always assumed that gift card transactions were handled by some third party service such as a bank or credit card company, not the actual merchant's system.

A fine piece of work.

I would think a quick lube place would frown on taking oil from a DIY oil changer. I dunno, I never tried, I gave up on doing my own oil changes years ago for several reasons, disposal being one of them. My local quick change place does a decent job for $19 and the 10 min it takes. They haven't...

I'd feel better if they did ask for ID. Still waiting for my card. I think it's insane to send activated cards worth hundreds of dollars in the mail. There should have been some sort of online activation system that only the original claimant could use. If my card is lost or stolen in the mail...

Is your name printed on the card?
