if you do the strip light, use a staple or a wire staple to attach to the rafters. you are right about the tape not sticking, leave it on the lights, never know if you will want to take them down and replace/relocate the lights i did a quick search on amazon for strip lights. there is a 32' roll...

Here is a screen shot of purchase. Price was $70. Only downfall is I thought the sprayer was longer. I would guess it's maybe a 2'hose

my first house had a button pad for the front door lock- batteries died monthly. so we ended up just using the key every time second house had the touch pad- lock would beep like it had dead batteries after a few weeks, but the touch pad always worked. we got tired of always hearing the beep...

when i moved into my last house, my first purchase was an 80 gallon compressor. at the time, i didn't have many air tools (just some basic stuff i had from an old 10 gallon one). my brother in law came over and criticized me for getting such a big compressor, and "why would you need something...

I found a cheap pair of steel toe boots at goodwill. Put in a comfort sole and been happy for past 3 years. First year didn't do much work as I was in an office, but last 2 they have been my only pair of boots for service industry jobs. Hey, when you pay $5 for boots, I don't get too picky...

update to the issues we sold the house. the buyer that the inspection was with backed out. she lowered it to $6251 instead of $10k. odd amount. she threatened to take us to court if we didn't let her out AND return earnest money (didnt give reason for either). our realtor told us that there was...

i have read threads in the past where people have built a pole barn and turned it into a house. i recall there being someone in dayton OH area that did it (i remember it because my brother lives out in that area). but that was a while ago With me being a DishTV installer, i have seen a few...

so, here is an update. yer is wanting to withdraw her offer. her reason is that we are not offering $10,000 credit for FUTURE repairs, in addition to already agreed upon home warranty. We erpaired/replaced almost all of the inspection requests (we did not do the cosmetic stuff like replace the...

My realtor sent me the inspection report with requested fixes. the report looks like an idiot wrote it. "house was cluttered", "i saw space heaters", "extension cords in attic to heat lamp" (obviously didn't go into attic or plug in light, its the only source of light up there), "gutter spout...

Quick synopsis of me seling my home House was built about 1945, most of wiring is from around that time (i cannot date it exactly, but for my question, lets presume it is from that year). I state "most of the wiring is from around that time" because there was an expansion made to the house. The...

Some above mentioned checking the GIS. That has been the first place i looked after driving by a house. That should tell you any out building that the county is aware of (i.e. permitted), along with a general plot size and map of it. best of all, it will show what the taxes have been in the...

we used to buy new vacuums at stores... then we discovered Goodwill Outlet (everything is priced based on weight). I have bought 2 Oreck XL commercial vacs. only thing that needed replaced was the belt (which an extra one was in the "replacement belt holder"). due to the weight, they were both...
