This is done on eBay all the time. Thought about doing it myself. Look at whats in the bigger sets, then look at the prices you could get for groupings of tools. (sockets, combo wrenches, nut drivers, etc.) Then realize how much you could net from selling that set in pieces. I think this is...

I find hand held nut drivers very useful. On vehicles, around the house and at my job. In fact, I used one this afternoon on a distributor cap. I used one yesterday on the TV. The hollow shafts do come in handy, too. I also use the magnetic nut drivers in drills, but usually only with self...

OMG! You pay for fill? I removed over 60 truckloads and didn't collect a dime! Oh, well. What's done is done. What's up with the angle cuts in the concrete? A design theme?

Yes, it'll be ok. This is done frequently in industrial buildings. The area of the pole building will be 5x's bigger than the room being cooled. You'll have to do something with the drain, though. Hose in the bucket, out the wall or (if you have one) your sink/floor drain. Depending where...

I've noticed a trend with the BMW crowd. They seem to get facts twisted. This one claims to have a ceiling height now of 11' 2". His plans seem to show a distance from the slab to the bottom of the repositioned joist of only 10' 5". If it really is the higher of the two, the engineering work...

I should print this out and show it to my wife. I still have another $43K to go. I spent $55K+ on my 24 X 35 detached. I put the + there because we just stopped adding up the total to ward of depression. Writing checks is therapeutic, isn't it? Two floors with the upper finished into a rec...

My tip would be furring strips. They hide any uneveness in the joists. Plus if you use 1 x 3's there is more surface area to hit with the screws, as well as more support at the joints. I couldn't tell how your cross braces were passing your joists and studs, but this could be an easy way of...

Maybe they do forklift and ladder safety training.

Single flares aren't used in brake lines. Used in things like icemaker water lines. Works better in copper, as steel would tend to split. Bubble flares and double flares are used in brake lines. Double flares are made at first using an adapter to create the bubble flare, then flared again...

Why not nose the boat in to the right and swing the rear over towards the wall. It could go right against the wall. Throw the fenders over the side if you want. The push mowers and lawn cart could be stowed on it. If the cart won't fit or is too unwieldy, I think most of them stand up when...

Don't forget the new impact wrench to go with that set. Get the lightweight model. Heck, if they knocked 10 pounds of the old heavyweight model, it would still be heavy. Ingersoll-Rand 1 in. Impact Wrench, Ultra Duty with 6 in. Extended Anvil Sears item #00919678000 Mfr. model #IR-210Ti-6 1600...

I was my own GC. I went the architect route as my garage is also a retaining wall. What was previously there was crush by the hillside. Something stronger than concrete block was needed. Footings are 4 feet wide at the base and the wall against the hill is 1 foot thick. Lots of rebar used...

As silly as it sounds, try ebay. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=mcmaster+carr Or just call them up and ask.

Here's a link to some anchors I've used. The Hilti's mentioned above are probably similar. I got them at Lowes. The setting tool is a separate item. http://www.confast.com/products/drop-in-anchor.asp You could sink these below floor level so a bolt could be reinstalled to protect the threads...

Are you sure the leads are plugged into the correct jack? Some of their meters use separate jacks for ohms and volts. This could be why you can still read ohms, the red lead is just plugged into the wrong jack to read volts. Weak battery can also cause misreadings, but not to the degree you're...

If I replace that switch with just a standard light switch, it will only work from that particular switch???? Maybe, maybe not. Its a bit involved, so to save time, check out this site http://www.electrical-online.com/howtoarticles/3&4WaySwitches.htm You should be able to then determine how...

The slab should rest on a ledge in the wall or footing. If the footer is poured and block laid on top of it, then maybe 4 courses of 12" block are laid and then 8" are laid. Similar to the way my walls were poured. The ledge can be seen in this photo. The rebar is resting on it in the...

"I'm still getting a nice large puddle at the back of my garage each and everytime it rains." Is it really coming in the front and running to the back? Or could the puddle be forming from seepage from underground or thru the back wall?

Maybe this could replace it. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=6970&productId=21917&R=21917
