Has anyone ever heard of them. All I have found is they teamed up circa 1922. I have an ancient Drill Press they built. It has the pulleys used in the old overhead steam driven/canvas belt days. We want to make an end table out of it. Before we do anything we would love to have the history.

I bought a property with an old house on it. The house is a simple one story frame structure, 1153 square feet and 105 years old. It has lived a full life but it needs to come down. Holes in the floor, roof is on its last legs, no hvac, no water heater, bad plumbing and asbestos shingles for...

My AHU has been running continuously 24/7. I removed the thermostat from the wall as it is easily removable for backup battery access. The AHU continued to run. I changed the batteries. The AHU continued to run. The t-stat was then manually operated to complete shutdown mode and the AHU...

As I put together my gas grill I found this little item about 6" long. What is it please?

We have to move our Conex box to make room for a 24 x 12 garage. It is a 40' box and weighs about 8200 pounds according to what I read on the internet. The box is currently on a large concrete slab and needs to go onto a dirt lot just off of the existing slab. We have a forklift that can lift...

In preparation for a new garage slab I have a stump about 36" diameter right where i want my slab. Can I burn it down to 12" - 18" below grade and have the site prepped with the remainder of the stump in place, or should I have a backhoe just tear it all out?

Quick one - Should a drain line for a washing machine in a new house have a trap or just drain straight to the main drain?

I have a small hole in our home floor tile about 1" x 2" x 3/4" deep. The tile is the gray color of old barn siding (with no paint). The hole is where my desk chair sits so it needs to cure out to a hard finish. Any ideas on what to use to fill this hole?

I have fully prepped my garage floor for an epoxy coating. Ground it, cleaned it and it is ready for the primer and the rest of the epoxy package. The question is, since I have driven on it during the week there has to be some rubber on the pavement. Should I just give it a simple cleaning with...

When my son picked up my floor grinder they gave him a a dual instead of the single I had reserved. No instructions. I presume these stones stay in place via gravity/machine weight. I keep "throwing stones" every time I start the machine. They gave me 5 right hand and 1 left hand magnetic steel...

I just moved into a new home. The entire house has PEX plumbing piping. There is a soft water hookup available with power and a drain line, all pre-installed. I have never worked with PEX. Is there an easy way to tie into the PEX piping with PVC/CPVC so I don't have to buy an expensive tool?
