    Hermann Boeker

    I had a boker pocket knife when I was a kid on the farm, bought it at a garage/farm sale. That was one of the best knives I ever had, really holds an edge. I think the newer models had like a image of a tree on the blade and where called "tree brand" anyone else seen these? BCD

    Can the ground cross with the neutral through the box?

    Not sure about the US code but I think here in Ontario if the wire is #10 and larger the wire can be marked with green tape on the ends, and as someone else stated the grounds need to go on the ground bar not neutral bar. bcd

    Garage door seals - $$$ flying from your wallet?

    I'm pretty sure they have a step or a "ship lap" with a rubber seal. the holes where pre-drilled for the hinges so they can't be backwards. My guess the rubber seal is not consistent or possibly damaged along the seam. Once the weather warms up I'm going to open the door and inspect the rubber...

    Garage door seals - $$$ flying from your wallet?

    Here's another pic of water dripping off the door panels inside when its opened. I just about had it with these doors and would not recommend them. I cannot set anything infront of the door for fear of it getting wet soaking up water.

    Garage door seals - $$$ flying from your wallet?

    Sorry I should maybe call it a sectional door 12' height, 6 panels. I have the same door as the first couple of pics you posted. Here are some pictures so you can see why I think the water is tracking horizontals and running down inside the galvanized metal ends. I'm getting no support from the...

    Garage door seals - $$$ flying from your wallet?

    Ok, looks like you know about roll-up doors and have the same doors that I have on my shop. Question, how firm should the weather seal door trim be forced against the door when it get screwed to the door jam? The reason Im asking is my doors leak. The door guy says the trim is not sealing and...

    Best Robertson Screwdrivers?

    If you want to stay with Canadian made there is always the Pic-quick multi bit. I have one in every vehicle, the quality is in my opinion pretty good too. The thing I like they use the longer bits which can easily be used in the drill. They can be bought everywhere. At least I think they are...

    steel truss or beam question

    To me that seems kinda light, I would use 3" channel for the frame, unless you already have material on hand. But a 420 JD is a good heavy tractor. I would use the 3 " channel all around the outside and the angle iron in between about 12" apart. 3" channel is common and price should be...

    New Leatherman Multi tools coming

    I know this was brought up here before but are they still made in the USA? If so why don't they stamp it on the casting? My son has an older wave that we bought about 10-15 yrs ago and it's stamped USA. I bought a charge TTi about 10 yrs ago, which I think is one of the best models they've...

    Grounding EMT

    We have all seen loose lock nuts, I'm not up on the Canadian code anymore but I believe here in Canada EMT cant be used as the ground. I would pull a ground wire. Down the road if you want to add circuits use it as a pull wire. BCD.
