I am in the process of a full kitchen remodel. We're currently at the stage to start purchasing flooring. We are going with 100% waterproof vinyl planks. I am currently looking at two brands, Mohawk and Mannington. I visited a local store that are vendors for these brands, but their samples...

So I purchased an American Standard 3.5 ton 16 seer ac/gas package unit about three years ago if I remember correctly. This is a variable speed unit and only supposed to run on high when demand requires it. I was able to get a better deal since I bought it and had it installed in the...

I am a diy'er. I did some tile in my bathroom about five years and did my homework. The job turned out very well. Due to a leaky washing machine a few weeks ago, I'm doing it again in my son's room. I finally got the tile done and I'm about to grout it. The grout that my wife picked up from...

I've had this drill press for probably seven years now but it hasn't worked for the last two. I haven't really needed it too much but it sure makes life easier when I do. I'm pretty sure the vfd went out. It has a vfd on it because it is a 3 phase motor and I only have 220 v at home. I was...

Hey guys.. was home yesterday evening and noticed my temperature rising and the fan not blowing in the house. I was outside till 2 AM trying to figure it out and so far it's not the usual that I've found in the past. What I have is a heat and air packaged unit outside. The only thing...

I'm looking for a non contact pen style dc voltage locator. I have several for AC voltage but need a decent one for DC as well. I find myself occasionally working on some spool coils that run on 24v DC and it's a pain in the rear using a meter and having to make contact. Anyone out there know...

I have a bearing going down on my trailer so I decided to pull the wheel off this evening and inspect the bearings. As I'm pulling the wheel lug nuts off with my IR Ti, the thing starts to stay running as if I'm holding the trigger down. It hung just a little so I clicked the trigger several...

I moved into my house about three years ago and have done a lot of work from one end to the other. I have some walls that were textured before I moved in and I can't stand to look at them much longer. I'm not a drywall guy so I'm looking for some help on how to fix them. I'm hoping I don't...

I've have a problem that started yesterday. When I turn my desktop on, about 5 to 10 seconds in, the ceiling light in the bedroom starts flickering off until both the computer and the light shut off. After about 5 seconds, the light comes back on and I can re-attempt to turn the pc back on...

I'm sure some of you have tried different ways of ridding your small tires of tubes. Lawnmowers, dolleys, wheel barrels and others. I have a dolley that has tubed tires and it seems like everytime I need to use it, the tires are low. Then every other time I put air in them, the tube tears at...

A guy I work with gave me a Hobart 125 EZ today. We had talked about it before and he had told me that he hardly used it and that it broke on him shortly after purchasing it. He later on bought a gas stick welder and put this one back in the box. I told him he should bring it to work and we...

My wife's Grandpa passed a few years ago and after everyone got what they wanted.. these were the only things left. I loaded them up and thought maybe I could use the motors for something some day. They've been sitting covered up since. Trying to justify a reason to keep them or just throw...

Been looking for an older drill press for a while now and come across this one on craigslist. I've not been around a lot of them so I don't know what they're worth. What would I expect to pay for this one? It's listed as 20" and they want $400.

I've never really worked with building wooden structures. I've just not been around it in my line of business so I lack the skills and knowledge. In the future when I take these projects on, I would like to have the knowledge of building things right the first time. This goes for all sorts of...

I'm not familiar with drill presses but I've been watching craigslist here lately for one and haven't had a lot of luck. I found this one that is listed at an auction tomorrow.. but couldn't identify it through the side picture. Can anyone identify this and tell me if it's worth messing with...

Was just visiting chili's in the wonderful state of oklahoma and saw this.. The pic speaks for itself. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

Anyone have any ideas on how to black out your garage door windows to prevent thieves from taking a look inside? I've used that white Christmas spray foam before but it starts to look bad after a while.

I just bought this thing and decided to hook it up tonight and it popped and blew the inside out. I'm beginning to think either I bought the wrong thing or this meter was incorrectly advertised. Here is the ebay link from where I purchased it...

I just built a hand rail for my church and was about to start painting it with some old Caterpillar black medium gloss paint that I had sitting on the shelf. This stuff has turned into a sludgy gel. Is there anyway to save this stuff now or does it need to be thrown in the trash? Thanks
