I recently noticed the exhaust from my heater smelled a little odd when i was outside so i started looking into it. I must say i've had this heater for about 10 years with no issues and no maintenance either. I found the lower tube not as hot as the others. Line pressure and manifold pressure...

I'm going to be replacing the decking on my utility trailer in the near future and while looking at it i noticed these welds run the entire inside corner. The flat bar was welded in after the decking went in so it needs to come out. I'll remove the wood before cutting. What's the best way to cut...

SOLD! I have an old 1954 Johnson 10hp that i have no use for anymore. It ran good years ago and wouldnt take much to get it running again. About 15 years ago i tore it down and put in new gaskets, ignition components, and made sure things looked good inside. Has great compression and not stuck...

I'm installing a dual zone Mitsubishi floor mounted mini split system in my house and something occurred to as i'm gathering components for the install, do i need 2 service valves? I got 1 service valve but do i need 2 in this application? I have 1 Mitsubishi Diamondback valve now.

I'm repainting a set of rims for my truck since the ones on there have seen better days, not my first rodeo redoing rims, but i'm wondering what type of prep i should do to the plastic center caps before shooting them. They are OEM Toyota center caps, which are plastic, and i'm using a 2 stage...

So i have a 32 year old Peerless boiler for FHW heat for my house but i burn wood so i will very rarely ever need heat from this boiler. I switched the domestic hot water over to a hybrid water heater years ago. This past summer i spent $800 on fuel and repairs/cleaning but i've come to the...

Seeing if there might be any interest in these lally columns. They're about 30 years old and have some surface rust at the base and there's some rust spots towards the top of them, as seen in the pic. The rust is mostly at the ends of the columns and the rest isnt to bad. 3 are about 80 1/4"...

So what's the consensus of these types for cooling in a house? The wall mount just isnt doable so now i'm thinking about a floor mounted model or concealed that i can mount in the basement and run a very short section of duct work into the living room. I know about the low static pressure in the...

I went into my attic yesterday to take a couple pics for the roofing guy and i happen to notice that on one of the trusses, the connector plate was starting to pull out. Then i started looking at other trusses and a lot of the plates are pulling out. My plan is to press them back in but i'd like...

I have some left over 6-3 w/ground romex type NM-B that i have no use for. There's one piece thats 35' long, never used, and a piece 13 1/2' that was used as an extension cord so there are some minor abrasions on it. Take it all for $40. Home Depot sells a 25' length for $62.

Ok so this isnt about my garage but about my master bedroom closet. The closet is about 5x6 and sits at very back left corner of my Ranch so 2 of the walls of the closet are exterior walls. It's not heated except for whatever heat makes it way in there from the bedroom. My issue is when it gets...

I have not seen a post like this on here so i thought i'd toss out some info after talking to an insulation installer just to give people a ballpark of the cost of insulation based on different materials used. Of course the cost will differ depending on location. I happen to be checking out a...

Ok, so i picked up this old Hobart scale to use around the house so i'm reviewing the instructions for it and it has 2 dampers that contain Ice Machine Oil to help dampen the movement of the scale. Based on the way there was no dampening of the scale when i checked it out, it seems as though...

So my el cheapo HF bolt-together trailer needs to be upgraded so i'm here for some advice from others. Granted, that trailer has taken an incredible amount of abuse but it's time for something better. Currently it's a single axle 4'x5' tilting bed with atv tires. The good part about it is that...

Does anyone have an opinion or experience with a ducted mini-split system?? I have yet to come across one but they seem like a decent idea as opposed to the heads on the wall or ceiling cassettes. I'd prefer to have the duct work in the basement vs the attic just so it's not fighting the...

I recently bought a new 12" miter saw so my older 10" saw needs a new home. I just put a new Dewalt blade on it then trimmed out a room so the blade hasnt seen much action and it's still sharp. It also comes with 2 Diablo blades that have been used but i just use them for cutting anything that...

I have this older Craftsman bandsaw that i got from my grandfather's estate but i rarely ever use it and could use the space. When i got it i put on a 1/2hp motor and built the rolling stand it's on now. I also replaced the tires, got 2 new blades for it and put on cool blocks. All the bearings...

If anyone local may want an AC for the garage, shed or shop i have a used one that i had in my garage. It worked ok, but i can tell it's starting to get tired because the air isnt as cold as it should be out of it. It sure beats working without one though. So if anyone is interested it's free, i...
