    Suggestions for a 10' workbench top?

    I built mine out of 2x6s, similar construction as a deck. Then glued down a piece tempered hardboard on top. Over the last 10 years I've replaced the hardboard layer twice when it gets too oily or dirty that I can't stand it anymore.. Its cheap, and durable, and looks good.

    led dimmer

    I installed LEDs in our kitchen some time ago. The wife complained about them being too bright/too white. I ended up swapping out the bulbs for something less wattage, more natural light. The dimmer we have came from Home Depot, brand is Lutron. There is a small switch on the back of it that...

    Teardrop trailer build

    Cool build. Any reason you didnt go tankless? Smaller, less expensive, lighter weight, built in pump. Seems like a slam dunk.

    Recommend me a good obd2 scanner

    This..... I have Torque displaying a transmission temp gauge in my 05 Chevy Avalanche. It seems to work really well. I found info online about loading Torque with the GM codes.

    Bluetooth garage door openers?

    I use Garage Door Buddy from a droid cell phone or my wife's iPhone. Works well over the WiFi. To get it to work over the internet you'll have to setup port forwarding & dynamic DNS on your home router. Then you can open, close or check it from anywhere you have cell service...

    Whole House Humidifier

    I have one on our forced air heating/AC setup. Works great. Solved those winter time ****** noses if you know what I mean. I think what it does best is disperse the moisture throughout the entire house. With several individual units, you will end up with some parts of the house that are humid...

    Cool Finds

    For about 12 yrs now we have lived in a neighborhood that shares a 300' x 100' sandy beach on the shores of the lake. Before us the property was part of a small resort with vacation cabins & boat rentals that date back almost 100 years. I can't begin to count how many times I've found old beer...

    Melting ice outside with hot water?

    2/3 isopropyl alcohol / 1/3 water in a spray bottle. Lowers the melting temp to like -120 degrees. Clears the windshield pretty easily. For the ice jam, I get a pair of women's knee high nylons, fill them with SnoMelt, and toss them on the roof where the jam typically starts. I might have to do...

    Car Battery During Storage/ Winter time

    I wish...... before I started using smart chargers, lost several batteries in ATVs & golf carts that were sitting in a cold garage. Twice I saw them get slushy & never take a charge again when we'd see temps in the single digits. I started using a Battery Tender & haven't seen it since. Same...

    Car Battery During Storage/ Winter time

    Theres a big difference between a trickle charger & a smart charger. If it gets cold in your area, get the smart charger. I've used Battery Tenders & Guest's for years in boats, ATVs & motorcycles with good luck.
