    I value your opinion- what pocket knife are you carrying?

    I usually carry a Benchmade or a Tekut "orchid". don't know model of the Benchmade, haven't been able to find it online or at any flea markets. Both knives were found on the ground outside a building I frequent, so I didn't have to pay for either!!!

    sub panel wiring

    so, is the NEC 2014 more strict on issues? meaning, if I go by the 2014 manual/standard, will it pass the 2008 and 2011 manual/standards (whichever Indiana goes by)? i'm wanting to do the same as the OP, but yet to do much research on the wiring and such.

    Need shop plans to satisfy the HOA requirements

    fully agree with avoiding a HOA at all costs. they were the ONLY reason we moved out of our old house. we got things approved in writing, then when a new board was elected, our approval suddenly wasn't correct and they got their lawyers against us. even pointing out the faults in the rules...

    Sold our House - Everything's Headed to Storage - Tips?

    your story sounds similar to mine. luckily moved in with in-laws for only 2 months. best place to get boxes: fast food places. ask for the fry boxes. they go through tons of them, and they are all the same size (helps with storage) grocery stores have alot of boxes with handle holes in them, but...

    Workbench... mobile or stationary?

    i built a rolling cabinet with shelves that I put all my car stuff on (jack, stands, oil change stuff...). when I moved into new house, i built a work bench just taller then the cabinet. so the cabinet rolls out when I need it to, and i can use the workbench with a stool under it. works so far...

    Above overhead garage door storage-Need ideas

    i did something similar to the picture, but my 2x4s to be saved were 12' in length (in a 16ish foot garage). so i made the end closest to the garage door closed off (boxed look), and the end closest to the other end of garage open ended (think "L") and used rope to tie up the open end (to close...

    H.F. sand blast cabinet.

    So I just got the HF cabinet today. I looked at the screws and remember someone saying they replaced the screws with something else (maybe it was just the washers or the nuts, don't remember). Would rivets work the same or just use the supplied screws? Of course, still use silicon on the edges...

    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    found coupon. it was not 20% off entire purchase, it was 20%off single item. no exclusions mentioned. nothing saying it does not apply to tool carts, welders or anything of the such. The coupon does say that you have to fill it out- name, address, city, state, zip has no expiration date, also...

    any tree experts out there?

    when i did tree care before moving out of state, i was frequently on www.arboristsite.com . they were helpful, and like this site, had members worldwide. if a member isn't in your area, then they would definitely give details on what to do and products to use if needed. most of the members are...

    HOA approves storage shed a year ago then tries to fine me....please help

    While this is true (bolded part), there is a reason they have their power: civil contract. Us police officers cannot enforce the rules of a HOA because it is a civil matter. And because it is a civil matter, the constitution and bill of rights do not apply (example: HOA board members can enter...

    three way switch question

    question- instead of maintaining the 2 3-way switches, how would I go about removing the 3- way switches, and just go to a 1 pole switch? I have a 3-way switch in my house that controls the lights in the garage, along with the other 3-way switch in the garage. I would rather just have the 1...

    Another Compressor Question

    Thought I would hijack/piggyback on this thread since it was about new compressors. I also have a new 80 gallon compressor (that will be staying on the pallet). I have done a search for my question but came up with nothing. I read on here a while ago about after running the break in period, to...

    1st time home buyer advice

    My biggest mistake in our first house was a HOA. They are the only reason we moved. Loved the neighborhood, loved the neighbors, could afford the house. This past year, the HOA decided that they wanted to enforce the certain rules that they had not enforced for the previous 6 years. ... and they...
