I just saw this old house this weekend and they were talking about doing a net zero house and to improve the efficiency they used 24" oc studs instead of 16" oc. The larger spacing meant the insulation bays were larger and that less studs could be used. Wood is apparently a poor insulator and...

do you have to use a dedicated airbrush compressor or can a regular shop compressor be used?

I use this once a year. https://www.amazon.com/Gardus-RLE202-LintEater-Rotary-Cleaning/dp/B0014CN8Y8/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1540127860&sr=8-6&keywords=vent+cleaner it amazing how much lint gets stuck in the tube.

thank you!!!!

I've been liking the Bosch Impact Tough bits, they have a little bit of texture so they seem to grab the screw heads better then my previous Dewalt and Milwaukee ones. PB swiss makes some awesome bits, but they are pricey, too much to be used in a powered driver. I only use these bits in my...

for flies the Rescue! disposable fly traps works great, they really can catch hundreds of flies and last about 4-5 weeks. Get it at home depot, its around $5.

I have the Maytag IQ drive (Nordyne inverter compressor) and I love it. it's so quiet compared to the old single stage Rheem. I would never go back to a single stage. it so much more comfortable to just have the AC chugging along at a slow speed to maintain the temp rather then having it come...

thanks for the tip Stuart, but I found these on ebay. came out to $5.70 a piece. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Canvas-Precision-Screwdriver-Tool-Pouch-for-Wiha-Wera-Precision-Tools-3-Pack/382258273706?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 I ordered 3 of them and they are...

looking for a storage roll or case to store things like punches or aircraft drill bits. it needs to be at least 6" long. something similar to this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044YGCA0/?tag=atomicindus08-20 any ideas where to find one?

just a wild *** thought but what about putting paper towels down on the concrete and then saturating it with Evaporust, cover with a plastic sheet and let it sit for a few hours. then just rinse away with a hose. It's environmentally safe so should not hurt your grass. Another thing is iron-x...

I just bought one from snap on website last week, same size 1/4-20. try ordering it again, i just checked and it went right into my cart. I don't know how they can do free shipping on no minimum order, they must be loosing money. they sent it FEDEX to me and I got it in a couple of days. The...

that's what I was thinking, wine in a 5gal bucket? lol.

the replacement brush will not match your existing one as far as the length dimension is concerned. the existing one is worn out so its shorter. I'm guessing that the 0.25"x0.50" is the cross sectional area of the brush which is the important numbers you're looking for. The length will be...

If it takes AAA or AA I now put in energizer ulitmate lithium. It costs more but it won't leak and seems to last longer when used in a flashlight in the car glove box which will kill an alkaline. It's also much lighter. I just wish they made them in D-cell sizes.

If you're looking for a small grip then the dewalt 12v would be your best bet. the Milwaukee and Bosch 12v has the batteries in the grip which is why it is so fat.

I haven't tried that one but I don't really like ratcheting scissors type of cutter. From the ones I've used the blade starts to deflect and twist as you cut so it comes out of square. I've been using this one and while occasionally I'll still get a crooked cut, its a vast improvement. it...

I have it, its works good on plumbing pipe to get a grip. like when you dry fit pvc pipe before gluing and it gets stuck. easy to twist and remove the PVC with this wrench. I'm sure it has a specific use but this is the type of application I've used it on.

funny you should mention this. When I added the Rtech foam boards to my garage door after a about 2-3 months the spring broke and left me stuck outside. The boards feel like they are as light as air but I guess the just the little added weight is actually enough to do some damage. When I had...

I have 35 panels installed in 2012. When we purchased it, I checked with my insurance company GEICO and they said that it was covered under the existing policy and there would be no extra charge. we do have dual coverage, standard homeowners and also hurricane and it is covered under both.

add some of this to the drain pan quarterly. it will help to dissolve and remove the sludge that is blocking the drain line. https://www.amazon.com/Rectorseal-68115-Hydrex-Tabs-200-Tablet/dp/B008A3UCYS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1529098244&sr=8-6&keywords=ac+tablets
