    A friend of mine and his wife bought an older building in a small town and have turned it into a successful business. It has brick walls that they have left exposed inside. They look cool but he's complaining about the 100 year old mortar getting grit everywhere. They are looking for a way...

    Anyone have a pair of Knipex adjustable pliers?

    Like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X4J2EI/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I first saw Musti1 using a pair of these and like how they worked.

    Anybody have a pet flap in your garage door?

    I was considering putting one of those pet doors in my roll up garage door to give my Rodent Removal Officer access on chilly and rainy nights. Do any of you have one of these? Do they cause any problems I need to worry about? I can't see it providing any advantage to a thief (unless they're...
