I have recently learned that there are tankless NG units which can be mounted on an outside wall without needing any enclosure. This has piqued my interest for a few reasons, primarily to get the 50gal old-school unit and its purpose-built closet and piping out of a spare bedroom. Also to...

I picked up an older aluminum boat from a buddy and am planning to fix it up and go fishing, again. It's an Aluma Weld XP50 17' with their 'padded Vee' hull design. The company changed their name from AlumaWeld to Xpress boats, many years ago; I'm not sure why. It's the same boat. I always...

Looking for some How-To ideas. I just acquired a twenty year old AlumaWeld (now Xpress) aluminum bass boat and have decided to restore it. The boat is solid, all welded aluminum (NO wood anywhere) and will outlast most of us. Functionally it needs only a steering cable to go fishing but I've...

Does anything effectively stick to old tar paper? I am doing a quick rehab of a bedroom in my 70yo house in East Tx. This is the last room that I’ve opened up to insulate/rewire/ seal up etc. (I’ve done the rest as individual projects over the years I’ve been here.) since I’m doing this one from...

My top rant about the HF shopping model is finally being addressed as they reluctantly drag themselves over the threshold of the computer age. A new email from Harbor Freight: "And now, members will get their special Inside Track Club discounts automatically when they check out in stores or...

Im picking one up today for a small project or two. On paper, at least, it looks like a lot of tool for the money. Item 5907 62927 Is it junk or joy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Months ago at a garage sale I bought an old vise because even though I’m NOT a vice collector, I’ve seen so much on GJ about them, I know they have *some* value. I think I paid eighty or ninety bucks for this thinking oh it’s clearly worth that, I can’t get hurt on the money. AFTER I got home I...

from faceBook of course americanutools.com got some pretty good prices, I'll say! $1700 milwaukee set for wait for it... 99 bux! PayPal only! Whaddadeal!

I’m in the process of installing three Chamberlain RJ020 openers (about the same as Liftmaster 8500) and the included safety sensors are effective but they are really likely to get destroyed because of the mounting method and location. I’m looking for ideas for a way to protect them OR to...

To me there is something mesmerizing about watching someone who just knows what they are doing...doing something I always wondered, just how they did. Post up your faves and include a word or two for the search engine to find later mine is a Carriage WHEELWRIGHT. Stumbled onto this one today

I'm selling an old 20gl Sears compressor, asking 200 bux; no biggie, if sells or not. It's on Marketplace. I got a message on it from a fellow offering an old welder in trade. It's an industrial AC TIG Miller 330A B/P There's a pic or two. He claims it "was working" when last stored, three years...

I've been looking for a backup genset for a while as we have too-frequent outages. A friend recently went with a turnkey 22KW (or a 20?) Generac install and he loves it so far. His setup requires some load shedding as his place has pretty much electric everything (and two of each) yet he does...

I HAD to post this here to get all of your opinions on this "starter". I can't find a horsepower rating but it's *listed* so it must be GOOD, eh? Would any of you use this on, say, a 10HP 3ph motor? (No, I'm NOT thinking of doing this, no use for it) just wanted to see what you think about it...

Has anyone tried these brackets? I just saw their website moments ago via a CL ad. They look VERY interesting....I might just have to copy them! Post Rack

What is the common thought on using 4-square boxes (plastic, w/covers) in the accessible attic space? What does code say or maybe what is common practice? The project at hand is my (old) house and making some changes to a room's use. I'm adding outlets to current code and lighting, including a...

Dried, Cracked, Sagging... Repairing attached Garage And Now, BUGS!! Termite Damage I’ve built a pole barn shop (threads here all about it) but the subject today is not the shop but in fact, the old attached garage on my house. The house is 60-70 years old and a cheaply-built pier&beam ranch...

I’m about to have my home appraised because I’m going to refi. Of course, I’ve built a detached pole barn (30x40) recently and I’m wondering what you guys have seen as far as the impact on your real property appraisals. I spent about 35k building my shop, but what percentage of that investment...

1. I have NO info on this, not affiliated. 2. I know it's obviously ancient, thought you guys might appreciate. 3. I saw it on FB MP, for info you'll need to contact them. 4. I know NOTHING about it or the seller. 5. I apologize if this is not the correct place to post it. Vintage drill Press.

Just a couple of minor fixes to address annoyances. The HF cherry picker (Foldable Engine Hoist) has been annoying me every time I use/move/store/ bump into/ it. Problem 1.) the handle is supposed to stow by inserting into a tube welded on the side, but the tube is stupid-short and allows the...
