Found water leaking under the upstairs bathroom. The shower drain Tee's into what I believe is a vent on it's way to the main outflow line. It was put together with a ****** and a 2" rubber coupler. The ****** has rusted away to nothing and the drain line isn't connected anymore. Unless theres...

The opener on my shop just died. Preliminary troubleshooting indicates the control board is dead. A replacement board is $144. It currently has a 'liftmaster profesional' 1/2hp opener, which I feel is a bit small. It worked fine until it didn't, and the tag says 2007. The door is about 10x12...

I installed a 36k multi with 3 12k air handlers. My original intentions were to put them all upstairs/ground floor, where AC would be most beneficial. Mid install, I decided one handler would be in a part of the house mostly unused until we complete some remodel, maybe in a couple years. I then...

I have a long unused grain storage facility on my property. There are 9 Silos all on very nice concrete pads. I would like to open the side of at least one and use it for storage. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of job? I'm thinking I need to build a frame to support the...

Sorry I didn't take any pictures... I just had a modular home removed. It was about 35x60. What was left was a pretty nice pad with a concrete foundation for the perimeter and center. It has it's own septic, well hookup, natural gas and electrical utilities to the site (they were just...

Some of these popped up at a local farm auction, they're all new and wrapped up so I can't really check out the drawers.... Has anyone seen one in person or used one? I searched the interwebs and only found other auction sites selling them, no reviews. Thanks!

Bought an old house in a place I've never lived before and am getting a little sticker shock from next months projected utilities cost. Spring/summer/fall were all about $150/month. My property has 3 gas meters and 3 electric meters, one being commercial so $50 of that is just meter/service...

I'm looking for a wifi house thermometer that I can read while on a roadtrip. I would rather not buy a $200 smart thermostat to accomplish it. I see lots of WiFi thermometers for sale, but it's unclear which ones can be monitored via internet vs on the same wifi network. Any suggestions? I...

Just bought some property that has 3 different power supplies on it. House. (110+220) MIL House. (110) Shop (110+220) + Grain facility (480). The Grain facility has it's own 3 phase that will likely never be used again. It's pretty much the same distance from the Grain facility to the power...

Anyone used these? They were in last months Matco flyer and my employee bought them. I thought they were so cool I ordered the Amazon equivalent. I haven't used mine but he used his the first day and liked them. Anyone else have any experience? I'm thinking it will take the spot of black vinyl...

Sorry if this is a duplicate post, a short search didn't get any good results. I'm moving soon, and looking at properties. I'm juggling the idea of buying a preexisting structure or building one when I get there. The place I'm thinking about has a very nice shop, but there is a good chance it...

Bought a trailer used last year and the 110 would trip the GFCI on my house whenever I plugged in the shore power. I found an interior trim screw that must have pierced a wire and grounded it out. Now it doesn't trip the house GFCI, but it trips one of the trailer 110v circuits. The circuit in...

For Auxiliary heating in my shop (3000 sq/ft) I have some natural gas Infrared ceiling mounted heaters. They are currently controlled by 2 way switches mounted on the wall, completely manual. 4 heaters, 4 switches. My idea was to replace the switches with thermostats so they could pick up the...

The rural town I live in is proposing a covenant to new constructions that would require having garage. I'm in the middle of a ******* match with some transplants about it, and wondering if this is normal. I've never heard of such a thing. Thanks for any input...

I have a small-ish ( 3 mechanics) independent Repair shop and want to add a tire machine and balancer. Anyone have any suggestions for best value, features and quality? Not interested in any of the home grade chinese stuff, looking for something name brand or with a super reputation. We don't...

I use pneumatic and cordless tools at home and work (automotive). I have quite a few dewalt 18v tools (nicad and lithium) and would like to consolidate them at home and replace my at work tools with an inclusive line of cordless tools. I also have some Bosch 10.8/12v lithium compact drivers I'm...

Long time lurker, very infrequent poster. OK, not that long. Lived in Alaska and never had a decent garage, all my work was in the dirt (and snow) or a friends borrowed garage. Having worked in a professional garage and a helicopter hangar, this really bothered me. Our next house will be...
