    Question for professional plumbers

    I do remodeling, and all the plumbers around us use the Uponor wirsbo propex stuff. Seems to be the most fool proof pex system. Dave

    Mortising a door striker plate on vinyl?

    this cheesy kit, actually has a cool little template to rout out for the plate depth. I wish I could find a heavy duty version. It might be worth it for your one time job thou. You screw the template guide into the screw holes, and it allows you use a mini router thing with any drill, you...

    Any TV/Cable/Directv experts out there?? Need help

    Since it is digital now days, I would be inclined to try it with rg6quad, BUT if have spools of the stuff. I would try it on the spool, usually you can get at booth ends, slap some connectors on it and try it out before you go with pulling it in the conduit. Digital will keep the pic going...

    Help Me ID MY DADS OLD Wilton

    Thanks Driveitfar, that time line would roughly line up with what I was thinking. I was born in 71, and can remember tinkering around with it my whole life. The 645 seems to be the nearest match I have found. I got to spend some more it this evening. I was cleaning on it some more, and...

    Speaker wiring, splitter & amp recommendations

    If I understand your needs right, you could use a simple speaker selector box. These allow you to use multiple sets of speakers off one amp (it keeps the impedance at the amp proper) Some of them have volume controls for each zone. These range in price from about $80 to $300 or so for ir...

    Useful Oscillating Tool Attachments

    I use the diamond tile/grout tip quite often. I also use the scraper blade too, but I just use an old saw blade. That is the only drawback to these tools, if you hit a nail or two you loose teeth, but do not toss the blades. Once they are to worn out for cutting anymore, they work great for...

    Heating office above 24x36 detached garage
