And by the way, thanks for all the input here, I appreciate it. My plan for later this evening is to cut and replace about 4' of the pipe, use a typical PVC coupling on one end and if most likely a slip coupler on the other as I do not expect it will have much give in the pipe to be able to...

I suspect the damage occurred when the previous owner finished the basement bathroom and he either tried to move it or pry against it. There was substandard framing around it that was sorta "tacked" to the joists. There is no obvious sharp impact point on it. I found a *lot* of work that was...

It’s definitely a crack, not a scratch. I all but assumed that replacing the damaged section is the right approach, but thanks for confirming it. I guess I know what I’m doing tomorrow! Lol

While demoing Sheetrock and framing in the basement for a sauna that we are going to build, I uncovered a section of horizontal run of the schedule 40 plumbing stack that has what appeared to be an old approx 12” crack in it. I cleaned off the area, which was showing signs of old weepage, and...

Completely unrelated to *anything*, but my wife decided we needed to take up animal dentistry in our spare time recently and ordered this gem from Amazon… Now, I don’t know what kind of behavior dogs engage in over in China, but I told my wife that if I ever catch our dogs drinking tea or...

I’m curious, what sort of rules? You would be a welcome addition out at our community.

Welcome back, I’ve been lame too. We should get together soon and catch up!

Lest anyone thinks I’ve been resting on my laurels over the last week or so… Demo is ongoing and one wall is framed. As more gets removed, I am finding more things that the previous owner did that I will be undoing, as the shower was not properly done at the base, resulting in some mold growth...

There are epic examples of prose, and then there is this… a tale worthy of Homer, written by the Bard himself. Bra-Vo, I say, bravo!

I look at what you accomplish and think to myself… “I’m not worthy of being on this forum”. Thank you for sharing, Randy, you really are an inspiration.

Yeah, what Logan said. I don’t have a fixture table yet so I don’t have a dog in the hunt as far as “need”, but I like the concept, execution and packaging.

I’ll add my encouragement as well on it…. When that one bites, it bites hard. If you are working anywhere in the area of the IMS, it’s worth doing on those cars.

Thanks for the tip on sharp edged stripes, but I’m out if it takes anything more than 5,200 coats. Lol After owning a decent number of Porsches, I’m down to a 2011 Boxster Spyder and an 1982 928, and I’m hoping I ride out the rest of my days with those two cars. They provide all the “Porsche”...

I’m sorta hoping a Porsche shows up in some of your pictures before too long…. Lol Congrats on the house, I am looking forward to watching the updates.

I’m also very interested in getting a scanner, but my pain threshold is about $300 for one. More than that and I’ll wait. The ones I have seen before that works cost $1,000’s of dollars and I just don’t have a need for that level of performance. I am looking to capture basic features of...

Here's a "bar napkin sketch" I drew up to show my wife the proposed layout. Very ugly from a CAD perspective but she said yes so it did it's job... The drawing cuts off the bottom 3/4 of the basement floor. We will still have plenty of space for future shows at our place. We just won't be...

Since I’m already in the middle of one construction project at home (the aforementioned overhead shelves, almost complete minus lights, sheet rock and paint), I figured I might as well double down on my misery, and start a basement renovation project that my wife and I have been discussing for a...

Lights and a stand added to the xmas sawtree… I still need to fancy up the clamp jaws, but my wife is happy with the results so that may wait until next year.

In the spirit of Xmas…. my wife suggested using my grandfathers handsaw (circa 1920’s)as a Xmas decoration, so I got busy with the printer and made clamp jaws and a “topper” for it. I have a similar saw from my other grandfather (circa 1950’s) that will be getting the same treatment. My wife...

Heck yeah, I’m in! I am already looking at these for my garage condo….
