I thought this was gonna be a complaint about your wife not coming with a manual.

I have three or four spares and a couple upside down rights in my tool bucket if you need a 'new' to you lefty or upside down righty.

Our compo board (and I suspect most others) have restricted gloveless use since before I started work on my first career path as a mechanic in the early 80's. I wouldn't use nitrile gloves as a general rule for what you are describing. The ones I've only seen are too short and for engine parts...

Some people are forced into the gobs. I'm doing a bathroom reno in a condo. The strata required full bore bunnysuits and paperwork before they would give authorization letter for owner to get building permits. Could have been done meeting all local codes and national standards for cheaper...

I recognized the tools as soldering irons and the leather tool only as a nameless leather tool so I looked up it up on a couple sites - swivel knife.

Most young bucks starting out had to learn the squeegee before being let loose with a wrench in most shops 'round here.

Grind out the rough stuff and hit with some epoxy. Nothing fancy. You'll appreciate the wear factor even though it won't be a showroom. One of the first auto shops I worked in had a fairly rough floor that we gave a lick of epoxy to. It made such a difference, it was worth it as far as I was...

Give it a faux finish paint job and any 'residual' texture left on the wall after scraping can be used as feature of the faux finish.

or snap all the heads off

Glad it's fixed. As another source for other leaks. I've had countless ABS traps leak in different suites and homes. I suspect they are getting bumped with stuff stored there, and or getting stressed from maybe not quite lining up and dealing with hot and cold water. Anyway I sometimes have to...

Not sure how well it will work. Our house was built in 1908 and had a fairly wet basement. During a reno of the basement we tried putting a little ditch around one room to catch and get rid water getting past the exterior drainage and past the hand poured porous cement that had cracked. It...

For 'standard ops' is that for detached as well as attached? I can see the rationale for the pain in the back, neck and *** for an attached set-up but am not sure I can follow the logic for a detached unit. Though I'm sure someone will set me straight on the logic applied for a detached garage.

Is that raised height the same as the house? At least the stuff stored around the perimeter will stay dryer when all the rain or snow gets in from the vehicle. It does snow there lots 7 months of the year right? Maybe you could ramp the step area on your main walking path at least.

I only flush my boat trailer on any regular schedule. The rest of the vehicles just get attention when brake lines get opened up for brake work, and then it is not necessarily a complete flush. An exception to that was my /97 Suburban 2500. The brakes were marginally sized in my opinion and...

Sorta like the developers in my area. They all have to report to the municipalities about the impacts their projects will have. They all present their traffic congestion reports as virtually nothing and after a few years of so many virtually nothings I live in a heavily congested region that not...

Looks like that floor joist is kinda in the way. Cut it out of the way and run a couple 2X's look like only 6" in the pix but whatever size existing is, between the joists on either side and pick up the cut joist with the new 2X's, add some more meet to your two joists you're working off of and...

100% silicone is great for a fish tank

Paint with exterior paint. Sprayed and back rolled. Spray a section and roll it while still wet and carry on. Use a very deep nap roller.

Say it isn't so. I thought, based on listening to the hype - the world was on the edge of extinction due to not jumping on the tankless method, which would also save us all kinds of money on heating the water. They are indestructable, last for 50+ years, and provide hot water at every single...

A drivers license? You guys are a tough crowd, and just what is your definition of showing up? Is noon ok most days?
