A question for folks: What do you do that you can wear the soles out while the upper stays good enough to consider having new soles put on? I wear work boots daily on the farm. Plenty of time on gravel, but a lot on dirt as well. The uppers on my boots usually give out before the soles. Crawling...

Is this only happening during or after rain? If so, I’d look to see if the drains are keeping up with the gutters.

Bauer Backpack Sprayer 58671 https://www.harborfreight.com/20v-cordless-4-gallon-backpack-chemical-sprayer-tool-only-58671.html Mega Fail 100% Garbage. Dig into the reviews on their site and virtually everyone has the same problem. The pressure switch diaphragm starts leaking and ruins the...

X2 My first thought was a standalone Homelink receiver with switched outputs. Like this one https://topens.com/products/hlr01-homelink-compatible-universal-gate-door-opener-transmitters-remote-control-kit. You can use the switched outputs to actuate the button on the existing remotes or a...

One Key is a service so every user’s device reports location to the cloud servicewhen it gets close to any tag.

Cold air contains very little moisture. Usually the problem with unheated spaces is temperature changes. When the weather is cold for a while, then warms up you get warmer, wetter air coming in contact with metal and concrete that takes time to warm up and you get condensation. Usually the...

The scale of stealing all of those tools is mind boggling. Just the thought of cleaning up those piles of tools is staggering. Probably an army of addicts working 24/7 to accumulate them.

If it’s not living space, I’d treat it as outdoors. If there’s a long term power outage, you want freeze damage where it’s accessible without breaking concrete.

Might work somewhere, but no chance of pulling a post like that around here. A pressure washer after digging down a couple of feet all around might get it out.

What will you hook to on a rotted post? Not a chance in the word of pulling an intact concrete set post with either unless it’s barely in the ground. I have an 8000 pound plus tractor with loader and can easily lift the backend off the ground chained to a 6” round post set in concrete.

The amount of labor involved in pulling out a rotted post set in concrete and replacing it is far more than a few bucks for a sleeve.

A ground sleeve. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Post-Protector-6-in-x-6-in-x-42-in-In-Ground-Post-Decay-Protection-6642/203165686

Sleeve the post.

They probably used the same solution you used to cal it!

I had a 6” machinist’s rule that I had to have “calibrated”. It was used with a measuring microscope in an environment where we couldn’t put a moving measurement device or control the exact distance to the item being measured. Drove me crazy I had to send it in every 6 months for them to attach...

We had a new roof put on last year. 10/12 pitch. Roofers first job with them and they absolutely loved them. Two different times, other crews stopped by to see them in action.

Fixtures are a problem in a power failure. Traps can’t be left dry, and they will be damaged if they freeze. A small propane heater in the bathroom that doesn’t need electricity might be an answer.

Around here, it’s cheaper to get trusses made than to frame it yourself. You might check that before committing to rafters.

About the second time you have to redo a job you paid somebody to do because you didn’t have time, tools start to seem like a huge bargain.

Tools don’t cost money, they SAVE money.
