I'm having a garage built under my deck, using one wall of the house. The brickwork will cover part of the box, but not all of it. The box will no longer be used. It's a 3-1/2" box, and it's right up against the sheathing where the brick will be installed. What should I do to make it...

There's no way that is an antique. That's a PT Cruiser in the illustration. :ROFLMAO:

Contact Zeetrio on the board. He restores old machinery. He did my drill press and it's beautiful. PM me if he isn't on the board any longer. I haven't seen him here for a while.

If you are interested in obtaining old blasting handbooks, Rocks of Ages has some from the early 1900s. https://www.rxofages.com/abebooks.htm

That ebay listing is a pair of Steeldraulic pliers. Those were for truck brakes a long time ago.

Yes, you should have. I just found a 10" piece for $10 and cleaned it up.

A friend of mine went to work for a municipal electrical utility. Started as a helper and 30 years later he was running a department. He retired with a gold pension which includes almost no cost health care. The downside is he worked a huge amount of hours and his health paid a price. I...

I've had about five different drill sharpeners. I was lucky to find a Drill Doctor at an estate sale, and picked it up for $12. It's better than all of the others. It only takes a few minutes to learn. I'm sure the Durex is a better machine, but for $4,300, it should be.

That's a very good question. There was no pile of dirt around the hole. That's what got me thinking it was created by water and not an animal.

I moved across the country seven years ago. I gave away lots of tools and a cart. We had a two-day estate sale. I sold three of my four rollaways and their tools and the large tools. I filled three foot lockers with the hand tools from the rollaway. I put the test equipment and other...

I had a plumber run a scope down the two holes in the yard. Turns out the one under the driveway wasn't a drain. It didn't go very far. We enlarged the opening of the other hole and discovered it was a massive gopher den. I filled both holes with 12 bags of large river rock, small river...

https://aladdinlightlift.com/ I got one of these so I don't have to shinny up a tall ladder to clean our chandelier. They are made by a small company in Alabama. I spoke with the owner who was generous with his time and provided some tips for the installation. The installation manual is very...

The Nashville Habitat store has about a dozen DeWalt corded impact wrenches in 3/4" and 1/2". They have several Bosch corded jig saws. They were bringing out more tools in large gray cases, such as ones that hold hammer drills and some Metabo cases.

Well, you aren't far off from what carlaise proposed! That's some good advice. We can get fireworks all year round (go figure!) but it's a bit of a drive. The soil isn't heavy clay, but it has some clay. This is an old area, the lines are all above ground, so it can't be a cable. I doubt...

There are two holes in the backyard of a property I own that I need to resolve before they get any larger. It's been developing for over a year. When I first saw these holes, I thought an animal was digging in the yard, so I put gravel down to discourage them. We've had some heavy rains and...

Home Despot in Brentwood TN is apparently switching out some Milwaukee for DeWalt. This was in the closeout section and the similar DeWalt is on the floor. I looked up the retail price on just the right angle attachment, and it is over $30.

In all the decades I've collected tools, I don't think I've ever seen a Mephisto tool

I have stands I bought in the 1970's. I trust them. They are well-made and show no signs of aging. I don't trust jacks new or old. Especially new, because they're usually made in China.

I had a bowed slab raised with foam. It doesn't carry any weight, but I'm sure there are companies that have materials that can support a truck. I used this company and they were very good. They have info on their website that might help you. https://groundupfoundationrepair.com/
