I agree - be civil. But also be firm. "Your guy did this. When my wife asked him to move, he told her ***. I know it's not your fault, but you're in charge, so I'm asking you to tell everyone on the site that if they park on my property again they're getting towed without warning."

My folks had their concrete screen porch floor painted awhile back. It was worn back down to the concrete in the foot traffic areas within 2 years, and that's just with shoes going over it. Picture how fast your paint's gonna look bad with cars moving around on top of it. Depends on what kind...

I just bolted mine into the studs. They have slots going all the way across the cabinets, so you never have a problem putting them into studs, and the cabinets also bolt to each other so every stud ends up supporting the whole system, as do the tall cabinets which are sitting on the floor. This...

You have hundreds-to-thousands of pounds resting on that hockey puck and pressing it into the jack. Anything that would make the hockey puck slip, like say, a bulldozer, would make the car fall off the jack anyway. As long as you use jack stands every time you jack the car up you'll be fine...

They're both great jacks. I always recommend the Costco one if you're budget-conscious when the Northern one isn't on sale, but when it is, the XL35 is a no-brainer. I've had one for years now and it's never had an issue.

No problem! That is an *awesome* car. Good show getting the right lamps - they'll look much better.

You might have the switch reversed in the last two settings. ZERO: Obvious LANT: Lanterns - or what we Americans call parking lights. PHAR: Phare, French for headlight. CODE: Phares code, or dipped headlights. Probably refers to the law (code) that says you dim the lights when there's oncoming...

Keep practicing your writing. As you write more, you'll get better. Write every day - it's the only way to get good at it. You never know - you might end up with a book deal out of it. Anthony Bourdain wrote a compelling book about life as a chef, then found himself with a contract for a TV show...

I usually jump on Costco deals, but I've avoided these because every Feit LED bulb I've ever gotten has failed within a year. And then they play the semantics games by saying that the guarantee only applies to the diode itself and not the control board, which is what fries.

Well, he wags his tail, greets me at the door when I come home, and plays fetch, so he *thinks* he's a dog, anyway...

That's how to do it. We moved several boulders weighing a little more than 1,000 pounds doing this. You can even make a makeshift sling out of ratchet straps if you don't have a real one handy. Do it in reverse when you need the rock to be precisely positioned where you put it.

I've never had a collapsible hose that lasted. Some don't even make it a whole season. Going on 5 years with the Flexzillas now and they're still good. No leaks at all, and they really are easy to handle. I second the vote for drip. We went full drip last year for all of the flower and...

That's gotta be it. My uncle had a Chrysler back when he was in college. I bet dad stole his socket by accident while they were working on the car together. ;)

Rapidair has something close to what you're looking for. https://shop.rapidairproducts.com/product/90100/90100---RapidAir-Compressed-Air-Outlet-Kit/ But then you have to install a rapidair system.

Why not just a regular 90 and then screw a male-thread quick disconnect onto it? Like this, but with an elbow instead of a T:

The craigslist suggestion is good. Especially around the end of fall semester. I often see rolling tool chests full of tools being sold for pennies on the dollar because someone went to trade school and bought them all before deciding they didn't want to do that trade after all. Don't dismiss...

That was fast. Thanks! Now the mystery is why he had it in his box of car tools.

Found it rattling around in the bottom of my dad's old tool box. He died years ago so I can't ask him. He would probably have gotten it some time between 1950 and 1970. It's a 1/4 inch drive socket with no visible markings on it.

They can try, but won't get anywhere. The time for them to have objected to it was during or shortly after construction. I wouldn't be concerned about that. It's even possible that it was built before the HOA formed in which case it was grandfathered in. If they haven't done anything about it...

If it works for you, great! Mine was going through 3 walls, a floor, and a metal ceiling, and my router sucked, so I got a lot of dropouts until I upgraded the router.
