    Garage Automation: What have you done?

    Same! I can turn the garage lights on by voice and play music that’s about it in the garage. Well the doors are WiFi enabled and I have a security camera too. I have turned off the alarm and had deliveries placed in the garage when not home. I talk to them through the front door camera, turn...

    Buying land without a current survey

    I don’t think 2004 is stale at all. My proprieties were divided in the ‘70s. I just did a survey on my primary residence. For a small property in CA it was $5k. Sure enough my property lines are on the neighbors side of the fence on two sides. I’m doing a very expensive backyard...

    Calling a bolt by its head size

    This is how I do it as well. Taking it out is one thing, replacing it with like for like is another.

    New addition not uniform with old roof

    This right here is what you need to do. If they are going to point fingers let them do it in front of each other.

    Should the standard length of a 3/8"-drive ratchet be longer?

    Bought the f80, t72, ff80 and tf72 snapon ratchets last year. So standard length 3/8” and 1/4” in regular and flex head. I bought online and didn’t see them first. I was very disappointed at the length. Haven’t brought myself to get the longer versions as I just don’t wrench enough anymore.

    Did I Make a Mistake?

    I like Tekton, Gear Wrench is decent. I have a lot of their ratcheting wrenches. You did fine. Good price I say keep it and don’t stress. Get some organizing rails and a toolbox.

    Car Storage Conundrum

    I agree there could be a lot of work getting that door working. Can you see the door from the interior or is there a false wall on the interior? May need a header for the actual door. Pursue the lift.

    Which M12 impact, stubby 3/8" or stubby 1/2"

    I got the 3/8” and the 1/4”. Probably didn’t need both. I use the 1/4” a lot but it’s probably just because I have it and put the 1/4” sockets in an easier location. I had nice 1/4” snap on impact sockets that were a gift from a friend so that’s part of why I bought it. Buy what you have...

    Honda Generator Propane Conversion

    Well it’s that time of year again. Worried about summer power outages. I have a brand new EU3000 Honda generator I picked up last year. I see people converting them to propane and would much rather store propane tanks than plastic gas cans. Any thoughts on the conversion? Reliability...
