Got one. Changing struts on the wife's T&C the other weekend, but the front tire wouldn't come off. I am about 2-3 ft from my pickup so I lean back on my pickup bed and try to "drop kick" the tire off. Well, shoe slips and I nail my shin on the fender, resulting in raised welt and bleeding...

Love looking through this thread from time to time. Last night I installed the last of new shocks on my 09 Sierra. Only 1 broken bolt and had to take the front in to install the springs, but otherwise a success for the first time. Was fun taking the struts to town hanging out of the bags on...

x4 on the set the springs properly. Mine is 9Hx18W and works fine for 3 years now.

+1 on the low speed one from Harbor Freight. I have one at home that has mixed about 20 bags of concrete and 10 bags of mortar in tubs or 5 gal buckets. Still works like new and much cheaper than the rest. I don't recommend the normal drills there, but the low speed one is good.

The t&p will go on the side of the hot valve coming out of the bottom of the twh. Quick question about that. Is it a normal valve like that on a water heater or is it a special valve for hydronic applications? How can I better arrange or change the temp/pressure gauge so it is not an air trap...

I appreciate any feedback. Thanks. I love this forum. Sent from my SM-T310 using Tapatalk

Some notes. Things will be straight when i put it all together. The left vertical will elbow over to the bottom manifold. The 4th loop on manifold will be capped for now until I fab up a heat exchanger. Want the ability to keep shop about 50 and turn that on to heat up quick for parties and...

Long time reader. One of my first posts. trying to put my panel together for hydronic floor heat. Have takagi jr twh for heat 960 sq ft 3 loops about 300 ft each. That part is fine. What I am looking for advice on is the integration panel. I will post a couple pics of a dry fit that I propped...

The manual does not even have an option to hook up a flue. It is all built into the front of the unit. so guess that will not work. I don't want to hook that up outside when it hits -30F here in the winter before the wind chill. Thanks for the help.

I said i would vent it outside. Is there any real good reason i should not be able to do this? What is the biggest difference b/t indoor and outdoor boilers? --Other than it being outside.

Can I use an external tankless water heater safely inside for floor heat Hi, I built my shop about 2 years ago and want to finally get my floor heat going which has just had my 3 loops hanging out of the floor with duct tape on the ends. I live in ND and each loop is just under 300'. Shop is...

I remember why he said he didnt want to change the direction of the drum was that the door would not open as high. Seems to make some sense. Thanks for the ceiling idea patten. Will probably give that a try tomorrow. Is that what you had to do judging from the picture?

I am confused here and hoping the GJ wealth of knowledge can help me. I hired a guy to install a liftmaster 3800 opener. The overhead door is 18x9 and has a 10 ft ceiling. There is a low headroom track (double track). After he installed i noticed 2 things. 1. When the sensors are...

I just had one of these installed a couple months ago. The thing I noticed was that there seems to be another sensor that flips out like the keypad covers you usually install outside. Check that and make sure that all the wires are connected under the panel on the opener itself. I believe...

Long time reader, first real question. How can I protect the insulation around the slab so that no small animals/insects get into it? I have heard of mice eating their way in and then eating the insulation under the slab also hence compromising the base under the concrete. Am I putting the...

Koditten, Don't want to steal the post, but did you use rebar all the way through, or rebar around edges and mesh in middle? Did you raise the bar in middle during pour or anything special? Getting ready to do mine in about 1 month. I'd appreciate any info you have. Last slab i poured...

If you have a menards or big box nearby they should have a project center desk. At menards, they have a computer that will give you a basic cost of an X by X building. You can choose stick built or pole barn style. Here is a link to a 22 x 22 for $4K. Hope this helps...

Thought I would post this for anyone interested. I personally got the HF combo for about $560 with the 20% off, but for those of you who could not handle the red finish on that one, here is a decent one. Description below: Craftsman 23 Drawer, 52 in. Combo - Black Sold by Sears .Online...

I think the question is what are you going to be doing with your garage? What types of things are you going to store and how? Are you going to build an overhead storage or put shelves on the side? Are you going to have workbenches? Are you going to be just doing maintenance on vehicles...
