    I had the house built in 2005 and we're the only people that have lived here. I'm thinking the electrician just didnt bother.

    Light switch ground wires not connected

    Wayne compressor refurb

    Did you end up needing to get parts for yours? I powered mine up, but it wont build pressure. I replaced the check valve, but no difference. Thinking I'll pull it apart and rebuild it if theres parts available.

    What is this press used for

    It was from the basement of our warehouse which used to be a shoe factory in the late 1800s. Possibly some sort of stamp or punch? We are actually about a 1/2 mile from Starrett's main office for reference.

    I had mice infiltrate a car. Besides chewed wiring in the dash and center console, I noticed the headliner stained. This is what I found. Thankfully I wore a respirator.

    Harbor Freight Tools, I quit.

    Very well stated. I research what I want/need and decide to buy it where I want. Some things don't need to be top end quality. I just try to make an informed decision on what works for me. Why wouldn't you use a coupon to save a couple bucks? I will say that one issue I've run into is the...
