Hello Everyone, I'm in need of a somewhat (seemingly) difficult to find speciality faster we need thousands of. I'm looking for tapered self drilling extended tip bolts that a nut can be threaded upon. I've checked with McMaster Carr, Grainer, Bolt Depot and done some poking around on line...

Hello - I bought this when the land was cleared for my barn. Mint condition and always stored inside. Was used to split approx. six cord of wood. This is the model below. http://www.troybilt.com/equipment/troybilt/ls-27-tb-hydraulic-log-splitter Photos upon request. Thank you. Regards, Al

Hello - I hope this finds you well . . . I have a dedicated 20amp 220 line, single receptacle, in the garage that I use only in the winter for a ceiling mounted heater. My mid-rise car lift calls for 20amp service so when I plug it in to the 15amp 110V receptacle it trips the breaker 60%...

Guys, I can use a little help please. We are having our boiler replaced this very minute and they are replacing the 40 gal hot water storage tank. The old HWS tank was feed with 3/4" and it's outlet was 3/4" as well. The plumber here today used 1/2" to feed the tank (from the boiler) and...

I got this while cleaning out my mother in laws house. The house was built in 1925. It looks like it was originally green, not sure the dividers are original. Kind of cool with the hip roof top and all. Thought I'd share. Ever seen one like this? Regards, .

Ok, I'm just in the beginning stages of considering this. First, I will hire a professional boiler tech to do this, but before I proceed, I'm looking for advice to see if it is possible. The owners manual covers both types. Please allow me to fill you in. I have an opportunity to get a 2012...

Hello - We have a vaulted/cathedral ceiling in our family room built in 1986. I've taken a photo to show how we are experiencing heat loss through the can area. It is always easy to spot when there is a light snow. This has been going on since the house was new. The same thing happens on the...

In my new build I had the electrician install a 12 slot load panel. He is busy on a large job and lives almost three hours away (good friend who is licensed), so it was tough to get him out here on a weekend. We won't be doing full wiring until the spring or when the weather warms up, so I had...

I'm looking to install one in my attached insulated garage. Sort of like the size of an old steam radiator. It would be fed from a circulator from my oil boiler. Any tips on makers or where to look are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

It was a freebie. It has been outside for a few years used as fuel storage. Just one shelf, some rust through on the bottom lip of one door as shown. Bottom shelf has just surface rust, seems pretty solid otherwise. I'm thinking not a full resto, just a wire wheel a little primer and paint...

I'm in the middle of my build and could use some advice please. The upstairs will be for storage but it is possible I might need to bring something large like a car hood or couch up there, so I'd like to have a removable handrail. It would need to be somewhat lightweight and easily removable...

cut-off scrap blocks? With my build there are a bunch of left-over blocks 6-18" 2x6. Something useful? Thanks!

Guys I could use some advice here please. The foundation is in and the floor and pads are poured. I'm at the point of choosing materials for siding. Although the garage sits well back on my property the facade will be seen from the road. I'd like the facade to match the house which has...

This is a product which appears to be OSB w/ vapor barrier attached, then you tape the seams. My builder is suggesting it and it doesn't look like a bad thing for the exterior walls, not sure about the roof. Think I'd rather go w/ plywood there. http://www.zipsystem.com/ Any thoughts? Thank...

It is time for me to ask this question please. I'm leaning toward a steel door w/ no windows. In-swing doors can get rammed in, out-swing can pried open. Any thoughts are well appreciated. Thank you

My floor will be poured next week and the concrete will cut expansion joints no charge. Do I need them? And what size? The floor is 34'x30' inside the foundation. Any advice is well appreciated - Thank you! Regards,

My floor will be poured in two weeks. The inside dimension is 30' front to back. This will be used more for storage in the winter rather than a workshop. Since I won't be bringing wet or snow covered cars in, what pitch would you use? The concrete guy said three inches first, then I told him...

Up here in the northeast a back-up is a good idea. I've been thinking about a diesel rather than gasoline or propane because I could tie it in to my oil tank which usually has a couple hundred gallons in it and I wouldn't need to deal w/ refueling concerns on a regular basis. Any thoughts...

This question is in regards to the sides and top trim weatherstripping, not the door bottom. I've had to replace the wooden w/ plastic feather-edge type every five years or so and would like a better solution if any of you can recommend one please. The new ones of this type are all plastic...
