Greetings all. I am enclosing my water heater and gas forced air furnace in their own sealed/separate space and need to provide independent vent air to that new space. According to my calcs I will need two 4" vent lines to the exterior (The furnace is direct vent so the vents only have to...

Greetings all I am trying to pass a water line and an electrical conduit under my perimeter foundation (Below grey breaker box in photo.). In the not too distant future I also want to replace the slab as well. My issue is that the house is built on sand (Good ol' beach sand. Really.) and...

Greetings all I'm slowly adding power tools to my home shop and a floor standing drill press is next on the list. I've tried to read up here using the search tool but everything I could find was for old / used presses and for a variety of reasons I am interested in new. I have experience...

Radio Shack small-part storage cabinets? Greetings All As you all probably know by now, Radio Shack is closing ~4000 stores nationwide, and they started the liquidation sales this weekend. I am sad to see them go, as I'm sure many here are, but the silver lining may be all the surplus store...
