North central Florida, Marion county. I"ve had a shop building (tin shed) installed to replace one that was here when we moved in. And we had a small horse barn&tack room set up (also tin sheds) as well. Next effort, this spring is to put electric out to the barn and water as well. Previous home...

We're just finishing wife's 3 stall barn. Actually a 14x24 car port with stall panels and 12x14 tack room. Until (if?) we can get electric run out to it maybe I can get a battery start generator for it. Looks like we'll be 3-4 months getting electric in, electrician + permits + trenching, etc so...

Anybody know what this is? It's plugged in to our garage opener outlet and it's live (judging by the green LED) but it's not wired to anything. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

We've got 3 of these florescent fixtures. One in the kitchen and 2 in the utility room. Pictures are attach. In the utility room the far one shuts down after a while. I suspect it overheats? I want to replace them with LED fixtures but how do I get the plastic grid/lens off? It doesn't want to...

When we had the barn/shop put up, early summer, I asked for one 240/20 amp socket for my contractors saw. This is what I got:

I finished hanging the ceiling in my new small shop. The clearance between the ceiling and the overhead garage door, with the door in the up - retracted position, is 2 inches. Not enough space to hang the 4' LED fixtures I bought. Clearly didn't think that through! Rather than redoing the...

I'm looking for a pre-oiled(?) wrap for hand tools that see only occasional use. What's the correct terminology I need to plug 8nto Google?

I bought a set of cheap-ish air tools (at a Lowe's) maybe 3-4 years ago. Stapler, Pin Nailer, Brad Nailer. Used the Pin Nailer once and Stapler once and set them all aside for other things. They don't want to work now. Is this usual for air tools? They need to be exercised on a regular basis or...

I got one of these and it's operation is spotty. Turn it on, one press or long press, and it glows green. It's supposed to, right? But get it near an outlet, even push the nose into the hot slot and 9 times out of 10 - nothing. I've seen it used and react by just getting it near a hot lead. What...

We purchased a retirement home that had a nice size 36x12 Gambrel roof shed. Great for my work shop. Except ... headroom under the loft is confining, I'm 6-foot tall and feel like I'm going to bang my head on the loft joists when I'm under the loft. The loft is about 12' front- to-back so I'm...

Briefly I'm looking for a tool that is used to assemble 90* plastic hydraulic line fittings. Wife has a horse drawn carriage that has disk brakes on the rear set of 4 wheels. The brakes locked up and then one of the lines blew out at the (left rear) wheel. All the pieces are still attached, I...

I'm looking for a source for a Quick Jack. The kind that lifts the front or rear of a Cobra replica via "hooks". I don't have a Cobra nor a replica I have another use for one.

Trying to convince wife (snowball chance in hell comes to mind) that I do know what I'm talking about. I remarked that a wrench length is related to it's jaw size. An nn" wrench is x long so you don't put too much torque on the nut or bolt head and "wrench" things off. So she said "(Alright...

With 135k on our Toyota Tundra (2008) I'm contemplating new shocks. Don't think I need anything more than OEM replacements but it looks like I'll need spring compressors for the fronts cause they are coil-overs. So just what am I getting myself into? Brother says he's heard stories of people...

I'm looking for an alternative to a ratchet and socket to use on a wheel hub-nut. Here's my situation: Wifie has a pair of mini horses and they are trained to drive, that is pull a carriage, rather than to be ridden. She bought a new 4 wheel carriage that has alloy wheels (_not_ wood). And the...
