When we bought our place, there was only a submerged water pump 120 feet down the well. Then, the 40 year old pump failed and it snowballed into lots of repair and upgrades. In the last 18 months we did some serious water system upgrades consisting of: New submerged pump 3000 gallon storage...

We have a 3000 gallon storage tank. If, for example, the in ground well pump failed, the jet pump could draw off the tank for quite a while until we knew we had a problem. Then the problem is compounded because with an empty tank there is no reaction time and any repair becomes an emergency...

It is in the garage and will sometimes be used on coveralls, so it counts.:thumbup: I'm in the market for a new clothes washer and gas dryer. They should be able to stack, or not, and not be stupid expensive. What is out there with a good track record? We haven't bought a set in a very long...

Well for starters, they make a good product at a good price. But the real reason is the service above and beyond. First, I took delivery of my HD-9 recently and it was scraped up fairly good. I'm not a tool polisher, I'm a user, but it was rough. I PM'ed Jeff asking about a close color match I...

I got the lift all set up a few weeks ago and recently made up some simple accessories to make day to day use easier. First the jack tray. I may eventually get a rolling jack, but for now I will use this. I made it as wide as my jackstands and the center jack plate slides back and forth to...

I'm in need of a box/pan brake. Does anyone have any experience with a 3 in 1 machine? A shear would be nice, a roller would be handy sometimes. Something like this...

So I have scissor trusses in the shop. Currently the door tracks are the typical 90* turn just above the door header. There is room for the end of the tracks to go up 3 feet to better match the angle of the trusses. I studied it for a bit today and it appears as if I could take a small pie cut...

I have a gravel driveway and the weeds in it are driving me nuts. I'm looking for something to help this, but I'm not into spraying lots of pesticides. I've tried weed burners, but they came right back. I've heard road salt or vinegar can work, but do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks

Hi guys. I've been on the Hamb for quite a while and have lurked off and on here. My hobbies and occasional side job is building hot rods. About 5 years ago we bought an old potato farm and remodeled a portion of it into our house. What was left was a 6 car attached garage, a falling down but...
