I'm trying to find some replacement weatherstripping for the sides of my garage doors on my steel building. Looks like a hard u channel that takes a rubber seal, but I need to replace the whole thing. The hard plastic U channel goes on either side of the door rail hardware and it's sort of...

I need to create some braces for some brackets I'm installing across some basement beams. Very similar to the attached: I was thinking about cutting the length in 3/4" conduit and cutting some steel plate to stamp the ends in my hydraulic press. Then I'll just drill them. The drawings I...

Working on my mother's mobility scooter which houses two 12v batteries for a 24v motor. My sister replaced the original batteries with SLA12-12F2 Duracell Ultra 12V 12AH AGM Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Battery with F2 Terminals. Performance has declined and I went and grabbed them today. One is...

Not sure how hot this is, but I sure jumped on it. If you have an old Innova scanner and go through the process for their upgrade program (send them a picture of your old scanner with your email address visible on a post it note - took me about 5 minutes) they will send you an Amazon discount...

Not sure how hot this one is but I've wanted to try the SK X frames and this is the best price I've seen @$49.98. Sizes 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 17mm. Here's the link to Lowes. Mine had a couple of sets so I'll pick it up tomorrow...

I've been checking the SK site periodically for X frame wrenches and just saw an add that they are coming to Lowes. Search didn't show any threads on this so I thought I'd post it up. Not sure when they are supposed to arrive, but I'll have to check Lowes next time I'm in.

I'm going to be pulling up carpet in my dining rooom, living room and hallway. I have several dogs (2 Boxers and a Boston Terrier) and I can't smell them, but I'm used to it. I was thinking about painting/sealing the subfloor prior to putting down the vinyl as a means to control/prevent the...

Had to go up on the roof today and noticed that my chimney crown is a mess. Looks like I get to pour a new one, but I need to seal this up in the next few days. Was thinking about tarping it with a strap but the wind is pretty pervasive here in Kansas. What would you do? I don't use this...

Over the last few weeks I've noticed the brick fascia (not sure that's the correct word) is seperating from my house. What's the best way to fix this and if the fix is extensive, what is the best way to weatherproof from the snow?

Costco in Wichita has these two packs on clearance for $9.97. These are the thinner gloves without a lot of padding.

Saw these on Amazon today: Bounder LED lights 10 pack. 10 lights for $118.99. You can link up to 4. 4000 lumens @5K. Good reviews. I'm sure these aren't top quality, but for $12/fixture, it might be a fit for someone.

I grabbed some 2x4x10 treated lumber for a sill plate on my concrete pad for the wife's shed. I had to cut two of them down for the shed and the other two ends were 120" so I just layed them out. My squaring was going poorly and I measured the full pieces and they were 121 inches and 121 1/2"...

Good afternoon. I'm putting one of those pre-cut sheds on an existing 10x10 concrete pad. I've got the treated lumber going down for the sill (2x4x10 treated lumber) and a stack of tapcons but I'm not sure if I should put down silicone, adhesive or some foam insulation under the treated...

Afternoon, I have acquired a pallet nailer (Grip Rite GRTCN90P. PDF here) NIB for free. I've got a small rigid pin nailer and a finish nailer, but I've never used anything like this. I just bought a shed kit from Lowes and it seems like a framing/roofing nailer might be handy. In looking...

I've been looking for ways to organize my sockets for quite a while now. I've tried all kinds of brands and I'm always going back to those pin holders on the portable tool boxes like these. In an effort to recreate, I've tried setting nails in the back of thin plywood and painting them with...

I've got some wall anchors that I need to tighten up and I'd like to use something better than my 16" pliers. Nut looks like this and measures 1.25" side to side. I have a 1 1/4 12 point socket, but it's too small. I don't have a 1 1/4" wrench. I have 8 of these I'm going to need to tighten...

Good day everyone. I see boxes like this advertised for auto lifts: All of the instructions I see say do not drill into the lift. Let's say I want to mount one of these on my lift and there are no bolts/holes available. How would you mount it - on the lift - without drilling into the lift...

Good day everyone. I'm looking at some drawings of wall anchoring and I'm not sure exactly what kind of bolt this is. There are expansion bolts on the diagram as well, but this one isn't labeled expansion. This is an option for holding 4x13 beams against the wall at the bottom. Thinking...

I saw the 1/4" and 3/8" set on here a while back and just saw the 1/2" set was out and on sale right now for 69.95. I really like the set and thought I'd pass it along. Here's my setup now.

I'm having some issues with a PoE (power over ethernet) device that is sometimes failing to operate correctly. I have a suspicion that it's something on my switch. I've gone back and forth between the switch vendor and the phone vendor and neither is to blame (allegedly). So, I need to find...
