    Need to cut in an old work box into a tiled wall. Never attempted that before. I'm thinking use my milwaukee OMT to do it, but not sure what blade is best? Diamond grit, Carbide grit? which brand is best?

    Recommend a welder for me

    I went down the path. Wound up with a Lincoln 210, 80cf gas bottle, auto helmet, consumables, etc and ran a 240 line to the garage and I'm welding now. I would go with a 210 machine, it can do just about anything a hobbyist would want. Brand is up to you, I went with lincoln because my local mom...

    Teach me about chainsaw chains

    That's what I did. The M18 uses standard Oregon bars, when the original chain dulled out, I bought a .50 Oregon bar 16" and regular Oregon chain. Runs just the same, chain cuts better as it's non-kickback safety and replacements are available widely.

    Bulk Propane

    Get the biggest tank that is reasonable (250?), allows you to fill during warmer months when prices drop. I would do the lease to start and see about eventually buying a tank if the numbers make sense. A lot easier to have a company come fill a big tank, than deal with swapping out tanks and...

    Cement board around shower in remodel; questions

    Skip the cement board/hardi board. Schluter, Wedi Board or Kerdi Board, Ditra for the floor tile. Much, much better. There is an increase in cost, but after remodeling with this stuff it's impervious. I personally prefer Wedi, but they all work. Had a shower where the pan leaked 2x over the...

    whole house surge protector.

    I put one on my panel when I built my house, it's been lit up green ever since. Not sure if it's done anything, no way to tell except that no electronics have ever been fried in 15 years. Not sure if it's coincidence or due to the surge protector. It's a pretty inexpensive add in the total...

    Propane for an outbuilding?

    For occasional use get a 250 tank, would last for plenty of time and give you options to fill off season when propane prices dip.

    Generator - Gas or Diesel

    Tanks are buried all the time, more expensive as they are coated to prevent corrosion. I had mine buried because it's in my front yard essentially. 1000gal (I said LB, it's gallons) are filled to 80%. Last fill, which was a partial was around $2.75 per gallon delivered if I recall correctly. I...

    Generator - Gas or Diesel

    I have a 22kw standby with auto switch, 1000lb propane tank. I bought the genny as a package online, delivered by truck. My electrician wired it in. Had the LP company bury the 1000lb tank and plumb it in. All for approx. $7500 in the Northeast US, so not the cheapest area. The 1000 lb tank will...
