They're "*** bolts".

The only overkill going on is that price for concrete!! :wtf: Second that. $75 cy in Kansas.

Just had the same delimma over the weekend Dave. A buddy of mine came up with an almost ridiculous supply of used 4 lamp 4' lay-in flourescent fixtures for the best price - free. I was considering my options for mounting. At first I thought I would recess them, but considering I already have...

Mine tops out at about 26 1/2'. But next to the house, it's in proportion.

The Skilsaw HD77 (or Mag version) is the absolute workhorse of the construction industry. Nearly indestructible and the only saw I use on jobsites. We beat the living **** out these outside in the rain, snow, dust, etc. and I've never had one fail. You can find these in left handed (right...

I'm suprised to see a residential type builder using snap ties or loop ties to begin with. Typically they use wire ties, which are a big pain in the ****, have sharp ends and leave a ridge of concrete around where they poke through the forms. They must use a modular form system like Simons or...

****, you can;t even read that. I never know how much to resize and still be able to see something. Here is a link: http://www.conspecmkt.com/pdf/TDS_24.pdf

It should not be sealed perse. However, to aid in curing the slab, it is OK to use a dissipating cure. This will keep moisture in the slab longer giving higher ultimate strength and durability. However, it is not permanent and is compatible with VCT installations. Here is an example. I...

The easiest way is to call the local concrete ready-mix company. They'll be able to tell you who the local testing companies are. Terracon is a large nation wide testing agency that may exist in your neck of the woods. Local code office will also have that information. Otherwise, check the...

I doubt your local code will allow anything. The code enforcement office would be the place to start.

Not so quick on the "most modern concrete is 3000 psi". There are a lot of factors that go into the ultimate strength of the concrete. Only some of which are attributable to the mix design of the concrete. Who actually poured the slab will make a huge difference. Among other things, water to...

The trouble I see is with the size. 4 x 1 1/2 is not a common size for a heavy duty caster. The absolute best rating I can find a on wheel that size that won't damage the floor is 750 lbs. Listed at $34 each for the wheel alone, not including the caster. A replacement wheel in other words...

That's exactly what I'm saying. Up until last fall when the starter lost alignment, it started fine. Even last weekend I instinctively reached down and hit the key. Plenty of juice but just a lot of grinding. I'm out of town at the moment and there's no telling if I'll even be able to read...

Depends on what you're painting I guess. Water will leave a nasty fish eye on your brand new paint if it goes through the gun. The seperator seems like cheap insurance versus sanding down an entire body panel and re-shooting.

Rick, The check valve wouln't have anything to do with a tripped circuit breaker. Is it an on board breaker or the one in your electric panel? If it's the one in the panel and you're having intermitent tripping problems, I would look at the breaker. Did it just start doing this one day or...

You guys are spoiled. My grandfather bought a 36" Toro back when I was 5 or 6 years old (25 or 26 years ago). Can't even tell you what HP it is, but I'm guessing around 8. It's has a B&S engine. When he passed my dad got it. He only used it for a year before he got a big craftsman and only...

Dude, I would so have to reconfigure that front down tube and sprocket support set up and drop in an old iron head sporty mill. Keep the shifter of course. Oh, and add brakes. And tanks. Pedal power just ain't enough. Still sweet though.

You will have to de-humidify, a lot. Just the relative humidity in the air can cause unprotected steel to rust in short order. You would have to get it down so low that it would be very uncomfortable to work in and dangerous due to static discharge and stuff. I would recommend getting the...

I wanna see the running tally on what all that costs. I bet if you added it up, it would be more than my car is worth. Of course it's not a Jag. Then again, reviewing the list again, I might be pushing 50%.

Dan, Take a look at ebay. They have a ton of DIY kits to retrofit regular fridges. Most around $150 complete, including the CO2 tank. I have two neighbors that both have one. They do the full size keg though. Around here a pony is $50. A full keg of Keystone is $65. Economics is better...
