    Can’t help myself sometimes, bought a floor jack at an estate sale

    I have almost the same jack but branded Lincoln and a C series. Bought a nice rebuild kit from a seller on ebay (NorthCoastHYD, no affiliation to me) in Ohio.

    Retaining wall

    Tie backs are not going to pull that wall back to plumb without excavating. It's likely the concrete is broken.

    Roof is leaking ….newer home

    You're right that a nail missed the batten strip. However there shouldn't be water under the tile and it looks like it's been ponding against the high side of the batten. Need a roofer.

    Most likely the substrate was contaminated by chlorides, sulfates, or nitrates, resulting in under-film corrosion. Could try washing with a product such as chlor-rid before before and after blast.

    Anyone buy a snap on box as a hobbyist? Any regrets? Should I get one or stay away?

    Buy them used, buy them often. Can never have too many SnapOn roll cabs.

    Struggling with wedge anchors in my slab, need some clarification on epoxy anchors.

    Sounds like a 4" slab minus conical shaped blowouts on the soil side.

    Can I get rid of these joists?

    ^^This. That structure has very little lateral load resistance so seismic performance remains tied to its light weight. I wouldn't remove those braces and would not be adding weight up high.

    Bracing for uprights

    Failure mode is likely either the column to base plate connection, base plate deformation, or the anchor bolts themselves.
