Morning! A friend recommend me this "great concrete contractor." I gave the guy a shot and dreadfully regret it. Since this was last year and I have had time to cool down, can I get my steps skim coated to make them smooth? Would it last? Even though I live in MN, I never put salt down as it...

Hey guys, Curious if anyone is a Manager/Director of Facilities. I've been Managing Office Services for the last 10 years at Fortune headquarters and was recently promoted. Today my position is geared towards financials, capital projects, technology, and space planning. Within the next...

New garage door installed today and now I have a gap. We have tried to adjust the garage door and shoved filler in the bottom seal which did not solve it. I have around a 1/4" exposed that I need to seal. The garage door is squared but the concrete has settled in this spot. Garage door company...

Is there that much of a difference in the anodized rod from a 6, 9, or 12 year water heater warranty? I'm looking at AO Smith (Lowes) or Rheem (HomeDepot) to replace my 16 years old AO Smith water heater. AO Smith has confirmed their tanks are all the same. My water isn't soft but not super...

Last winter, my aluminum garage door froze and apparently made a couple of small slices/tears on a couple of panels. Is it possible for me to put JB weld in these panels, or am I looking at a whole new garage door? I do have those long supports that run across the whole width of the garage door.

I see battery conversion kits that will allow you to plug and play a battery from one manufacture to another. In my case, I like the idea of the Ryobi portable pressure washer. Since I already have a Ridgid battery and both are from TTI, I wonder if the batteries have similar technology...

Long story short, I paid a guy $3,800 dollars to do my front steps, side steps and ground pads. He was recommended to me by a couple of coworkers who swear by his work as everyone in their family used him. My old steps were failing and I had a mouse problem which meant they had to go. This guy...

Hello, Mice are getting in my house underneath my front step. They continue to burrow holes around the cement stoop and tunnel underneath it. I have pushed about 6 inches of galvanized metal inside the dirt with river rock back filling the void around the perimeter of the stoop. Mice continue...

Hey everyone! I need your expertise if I need to get rid of my tree or if it's fine. 15+ years ago, the old home owner had a bon fire in the backyard and it got close to the tree and caused damage. The reason I know is because of my neighbor had to call the fire department. A couple years...

Good afternoon everyone! I'll cut to the chase as I need your expertise and it's stressing me out. I have a 24x24 garage that has R13 on the walls and an open hip roof ceiling (shallow ceiling, roof has two vents). I want to heat the garage this winter just enough to take the cold off...

Anyone have any experience they can share around a standard plug-in infrared heater? I'm trying to think of ways to keep warm in the garage this winter when working on small proejcts. My local HVAC company will not install a heater in my garage unless I put a ceiling in (worried about heat...

Normal to have a light oil coating come out of the air valve drainage on a small 4 gallon air compressor? Thank you Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

Hey Everyone, Ever since owning my home, I have always struggled from having the floor drain not back up. I have brought in two plumbers in which both have said the pipe is not clogged and recommend me to put a rub plug in the sink with small holes in it (which I did and helps). Here is what...

Good morning, Has anyone had any luck with a Dyna-Glo 30k garage heater? The manual says it requires a 100lb propane tank, but I feel that is a little excessive. Do you think a 40lb tank would work? I have a 24x24 garage that will be insulated with R13 all around. I'm hoping this heater...

Hello, Has anyone purchased the Harbor Freight Daytona dolly's? I am looking to see if you can jack the tire up and lock the them in place once you have your desired height. This way it's not being held on the hydraulic pump over winter. Are these hard on your tires for long term storage? I...

Hello, I recently got trained in CFR49 and IATA and seeing who else is certified to ship hazderous materials? I am looking to see what software businesses are using and methods to protect themselves. Unfortunately the instructor didn't go to much into detail and the employee who should be...

What's your favorite method/recommendation for drywall sanding? In the past I have used hand sanders with paper and hand sanders that hook up with a bucket of water and a vacuum. One method leaves dust and sand marks and the other has to much suction from the vacuum. I hate dust, it gets every...

Ok is it me, or are they junk? I have been told they only last a couple of seasons due to the bearing design. Gosh I can't imagine this would be true without a law suit. So what would you do? (If I had money to throw, I would get a new furnace). The current inducer motor I switched out with...

Hey everyone, So I am kind of puzzled and hoping my inducer motor isn't going out again. Two years back i replaced my inducer motor since my old was making a high pitch sound. Since replacing with a used assembly, it vibrates. It's a floating 80 percent model btw. If I put my finger on it...

Hey Guys, The other day I received something by a company that didn't know what it was. It was found in there basement sitting next to other auction items. They were going to throw it away, but asked me if I wanted it. Now I know Mickey Mantle stuff goes for big money but has anyone seen...
