Althugh I am not a plumber I do work in a shop with 16 or so of them and our company policy is NO sharkbites. Apparently we are not the only shop too. Seems like there have been a number of claims locally of the fittings not holding and resulting water damage. Again, no personal experience but...

Was checking out roller cabinets at Sears the other day and they have a cute tyke size one. Kept trying to thing who I could buy it for. Would be a perfect size for your grandson.

All right, I read them all because I didn't want to tell one that was already up. I drive an HVAC service truck and dreaming up pranks seems to be a favourite pass time. A couple that are never old... Take the window washer tube out of its mount on the hood and pass it thru the firewall. Duct...

Maybe a poor mans 'in floor heat' for the room directly above. HA. My guess it was the standard ceiling heat vent that they put in the basement and whoever installed the drop ceiling couldn't be bothered to properly drop it down. If the basement is warm enough without it just plug it. I would...

Can you remove the boot (the rectangle piece) and extend the pipe so it is past, or before the lighting, and then drop it down to tile height and then attach the boot and grille? You can turn it off but there will still be leakage so you'll be heating the ceiling space a bit. The proper way to...

Very cool. And in the summer you can sell ice cream cones.

Big dump last weekend with more forcast starting tomorrow. And technically we're only three weeks into winter. But I have my tickets to Cancun to keep me warm.

Was looking for a thread to post pictures of my new Craftsman toolbox on, but I think I'll just throw a blanket over it and keep my garage door shut now......

Another classic case o0f 'I know its not the right way but i'm in a hurry', I was grinding the burrs off some shackles i made for a trailer on the pedestal grinder WITH MY GLOVES ON, and i noticed that the rest was a ways back from the stone but i was trying to get the job done so i decided not...

Jack Olsen, I really like the clean and practical look of your table and plan on using that as my template. I have a couple of small changes I am going to make but keep it similar. I am going to make a 2X4 border around the tool board that the table will rest against, this will allow me to inset...

This is sad news for me as I have been waiting for MY ratchet to arrive from eBay which I paid for on December 12. It was listed as 'Snap-on 3/8" drive DUAL 80 Ratchet F80 7 1/2" Long NICE'. I am curious who the seller is. I've been debating emailing and asking for a tracking number from him. I...

I prefer the legs myself as I did metal fabrication as a journeyman welder for many years and I tend to be a little rough. I'm guessing that your legs lock in place to make the table sturdier which is good. Your first table looks like its steel. Is it heavy? Do you have pictures ot the hardware...

As I've seen in a few posts, some members have opted to build work benches that can conveiniently fold up to the wall and lock in place when they are not in use. This is a great idea and one that I haven't thought of before but I am always looking for another place to work from. I am wondering...

After consulting most of my buddies after buying my house last summer (and having not yet discovered this forum) I went ahead and insulated, vapour barriered and sheeted in my walls with 1/2 inch plywood. I am very happy I went this route because I am not restricted to 'finding the studs' when I...

Go ahead and post it andrew. I could use a laugh. Its been snowin' here all day.

Im going to echo the guys that say dont let price be your determining factor. Im an HVAC mechanic and we make lots of service $$$ from the customers that went with "the deal" to save some cash and then paid it plus more in the long run to have things corrected. A deal usually means the installer...

View of the sundeck. We got dumped on.

Re: What did you do to your garage today? Installed the casters on my new craftsman roller cabinet, thought out how the new shelving is going to go and then detailed my 2006 Explorer Limited.

I was led to this forum while looking for some feedback on wrench racks and rails, of all things. I knew that garages were a bit of an obsession with some men but I was in awe of the throngs of guys active on a forum such as this. Its comforting to know i'm not alone with this illness and shall...
