    Here's the link for the dewalt die grinder. Looks like no one near here has it. https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-20V-MAX-Cordless-Brushless-1-1-2-in-Variable-Speed-Die-Grinder-Tool-Only-DCG426B/303010265

    Mandatory Water Cutoff Valve?

    I installed one of those moen wifi shutoff valves in my boss's house several month's ago. The valve was required by his insurance company or they were going to cancel him. Same company as my house, but they've said nothing to me. I'm not sure what the difference is. He's had some claims, I have...

    Cast iron bandsaw table has a bow in it.

    You might go see what they've got. I can't imagine most places taking time to list their small cheap remnants online.

    Cast iron bandsaw table has a bow in it.

    Do you have any steel suppliers in your area? The ones around here have a remnants rack that holds cut-off pieces which sell for far cheaper than their regular stock. Since you don't need much & it doesn't need to be a particular size, around here I'd check that rack first.

    Quickjack stuck in up position...Rust?

    These ^ make sense. Call them first. I didn't read the fine print first time around, even though it's highlighted. Those guys probably have a method.

    Quickjack stuck in up position...Rust?

    I would try a large ratchet strap to pull & try to reverse the action of the ram. The first trick would be to operate the ratchet without putting limbs at risk if it were to suddenly collapse. Probably carefully reaching thru the center opening. If the ratchet alone wouldn't move it, then...

    Thanks again. I ended up going back to grab a pair for myself. Almost waited too long. Had to drive to Hyde Park (Rough feeling part of L.A.) where they said they had 3 left. I only saw 2 there & bought them for $65 each.

    More for the yellow team. Not quite as cheap as some of the close-outs that others have provided, but I bought a 3.6a cordless trim router that came with a 9 ah 60/20v flexvolt battery & fan cooled charger for $239. I use those 9 ah batteries for my chainsaws, weedeaters, 1/2" impact, & 4...

    Thanks. Showed it to my boss, & he bought 2 in Pasadena CA. They said they had 3 more at that point. $65 each. I may go back & grab one for myself. It took a little hunting. First with the boss. He wasn't seeing the tiny "See in-store clearance price" link on the HD website. At the store a few...

    Ever do something so stupid you wonder if you should be left unsupervised?

    There was that time where the demo guys didn't cover up the opening to the drain pipe when they removed the toilet. And dropped a lot of plaster debris down there. Being the "smart" guy that I am, & not wanting to reach my hand in there to clean it out, I grabbed a shop vac. Worked great for...

    1974 Quincy QR25 model 350 LS ROC 15 is going back to work... Hopefully.

    If you do this, spread them out wide in the trench. If they're tight together it can be a real pain later on to work on one without damaging the others.

    x2. Have had one in my daily tools since the 80s. Frequently loaned short term to those who show up unprepared.

    Monrovia CA had a few. The website said 3, but there were more there when I was there. Located at floor level on a shelf in a cage on an endcap at the front of the store. There have 2 less now. At work it's been a season of moving awkward to carry furniture. With more coming up. I hope these...

    stains

    Do you still have the old toilets? I would think you could set them up on sawhorses, fill them with water, then use the moisture meter underneath to see if moisture is migrating thru the worn glaze. It wouldn't need to be much, since that's a trapped location

    Are you using the wax seal with the plastic horn? I've quit using those in favor of the wax ring only. No reason for a funnel to direct a 2" opening into a 4" pipe. It can be a point of restriction, or cause years of unnecessary splashing against the wax.

    What type of roof?

    If you go architectual, I'd suggest a Class A fire rated shingle. At work we are encouraging it. We were too close to the Jan 7 Altadena fire for comfort. Thankfully nothing but heavy smoke, soot, & ash made it here, but the fire stopped about 4 blocks away. Later watching a documentary about...

    I thought the same thing at first, but then saw the clearance price link. It doesn't load right away, you have to wait for it. And when you click on it, the price doesn't change, but a bland pop-up window opens quietly at the bottom of the page. When I've hunted for other items set up like...
