I have a friend who I'm quite sure has a plugged sewer lateral. I have a good idea why, but talking about it leads to the exchange of heated opinions, so lets just say it's not a collapsed pipe or root intrusions. Floor drains back up when the washer drains. Not a lot, about a 5 sq ft circle of...

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-power-tool/ottawa/older-tools/1730739024 There's a block grinder in there. I finally decided I would never have a use for most of it, so I figured I'd repost it in case someone local was interested. No acquaintance, just passing it on.

Moved to Free Parking forum.

I found some very nice steel doors to replace old rotten ones at a friend's place but they are about 1/4" too wide for the first existing frame. Just wondering what you would do to accommodate this. I was thinking I could cut out the existing door jamb with an oscillating tool, using the wide...

Anybody have tips to bleed the air out of a floor jack? I replaced the u-cup on the ram and refilled the tank and cylinder but I can't pump up the jack now. Thanks in advance.

I found one of these at work and I'm wondering what it's actually used for. Did I find something I desperately needed all these years and didn't know it, or is it useless? It seems to have had next to zero use.

Does anyone have any experience using lead to fix body panels? I'm working on an old motorycle tank and would like to fill in two indentations where the tank badges were. There were a few small holes created when the badge mounts were removed. I sucessfully filled them with solder, now I would...

Found this going out for scrap. Had to ask if it was worth messing with. It weighs a ****** ton. Department stated it wasnt functioning but it could be something simple. I havent dug into it yet.

Just wondering how much protection I would need when spraying this as it contains isocyanates. I have access to a booth with filter pads and a 3m full face mask with organic vapor filters. Discussion of this product ranges from "its no biggie" to "you'll kill all your neighbours if you spray it...

Did you ever buy a tool just because it was so cheap, even though you knew you'd probably never use it? I bought a $10 Black and Decker circular saw off of Kijiji, just because it was $10, and a higher spec roller bearing model that was probably destined for the trash. It is pristine, and will...

Picked this up for free on the local classifieds. Saw the brand name and figured I was getting a USA made jack, but saw the made in China as I was taking the pic. Worth fixing? Can I get seals from the local hydraulic shop or am I out of luck?

Does anyone know the Freemason's Handshake necessary to source the proper fuel pump for a 17.5hp Kohler Command? I took every number I could find off of this motor and went to the local small engine sales and service shop and the counter guy couldn't find the proper one, saying he did not have...

Is there any safe and legal method for getting 110v service from a 3 prong 220v plug? I have several in a convenient location to power tools. I was thinking an adapter cable might exist, but it seems the only way to make it work would be running the 110v neutral to the 220v ground, which doesn't...

Trying to fix a non operational GE furnace blower motor for a friend. I found a faulty thermistor in the ecm motor control board and I am going to swap it out. $10 component VS $1000-$2500 motor replacement. The furnace is a Carrier Weathermaker Infinity. It is 22 years old. Repairmen are...

Decent quality? Worth picking up at the thrift store? Just saw a 3/8" Diehl Craftsman for $10. Felt hefty, like a quality piece, and certainly looked like it could spin a 1/2" chuck easily enough.

May be useful for some.
