    Ice damming issues

    11 years ago we moved into an existing house. The first couple winters were fine, no ice dams. One year we had a lot of snow & an ice dam formed at one particular place in the roof. Eventually we found the ice was melting & leaking into the house. Took a lot more work to figure this all out than...

    Flash light addict

    I tried doing the *** change on a couple of the 2 AA Maglites. Maybe it's the make of the LED itself, but the thing is too dim to matter much. I had a 4 D Maglite in the truck for years. Pretty much every winter the Ds die. Then at some point I need the light & don't have it. Then the last...

    Build our own Barbacue?

    I moved into a place that had a pile of cinder blocks in the back yard.I ended up using them to build a 10' wide x 3' deep BBQ. I bought a $200 stainless gas grill from Home Depot, removed the grill itself from the cart & installed it on the brick structure. Then built the counter using marine...

    Pole Barn Home/Shop

    Build it! There are several threads here where its been done. Resale is effected to some degree (if you care) but only because its hard to get comps. But they are out there.

    Pet Doors (for garage)

    We've had the pet doors with the flaps coming into the living area of our home in the past. But got tired of hearing the things open & close every time the dogs went in & out. Plus we had a few wild animals or neighbor pets come in occasionally. Or the wind blowing it open. In the end we bought...

    How to remove graffiti on a garage door

    Seems like using a pressure washer would make a ice berg of his driveway & door. I'd try Goof Off or acetone first. Might come off pretty easy with the cold temps.

    Advice for a move to Seattle

    Good luck. I moved away from Redmond 10 years ago & you couldn't pay me enough to move back. Seattle rain is NOTHING like Dallas rain. Check out the condos at the north end of Sammamish. Waterfront, easy drive to work & close to your price range.

    Bad Craigslist sellers

    I've done hundreds of deals on CL over the years. I've had people to my house for them & never had a problem. But over the last couple years there have been a couple of robberies that came from a CL deal. So I started meeting people at a local pub/restaurant. The lot is well lit with traffic all...

    I have the Costco infrared heater & a patio umbrella heater that I store in the garage suspended from the ceiling. Both of them turned on will warm the place up in an hour or so on the coldest winter days.

    Why in the South do you see combo Meter/Main panels outside??

    In that other "northern CA", we have the panel in the laundry/mud room, inside the house, in the entry from the garage. Same in WA state too.
