We get a lot of leaves at my home. So far, I've spent about 12 hours, and I've filled around 30 bags with mulched leaves. I have a nice setup for corralling leaves; two hand-held electric blowers that I use simultaneously. The problem is the leaves in the beds next to the house. I got...

I've got 250 red bricks from the Triangle Brick Company that are left over after my garage project. I'd like to get $100 for them. I'm throwing in a large bag of sand that was left over and there are many partial bricks that are usable for those places where a full brick is too large.

I'm having a garage added on the side of my home and the contractor poured a curb at the back that is 3 feet long by 6 inches high and 8 inches wide. I asked him about that, and he said it was to cover the foundation. I'm puzzled, because I expect the foundation to extend to the full length of...

I'm having a garage built under my deck, using one wall of the house. The brickwork will cover part of the box, but not all of it. The box will no longer be used. It's a 3-1/2" box, and it's right up against the sheathing where the brick will be installed. What should I do to make it...

https://aladdinlightlift.com/ I got one of these so I don't have to shinny up a tall ladder to clean our chandelier. They are made by a small company in Alabama. I spoke with the owner who was generous with his time and provided some tips for the installation. The installation manual is very...

The Nashville Habitat store has about a dozen DeWalt corded impact wrenches in 3/4" and 1/2". They have several Bosch corded jig saws. They were bringing out more tools in large gray cases, such as ones that hold hammer drills and some Metabo cases.

There are two holes in the backyard of a property I own that I need to resolve before they get any larger. It's been developing for over a year. When I first saw these holes, I thought an animal was digging in the yard, so I put gravel down to discourage them. We've had some heavy rains and...

Home Despot in Brentwood TN is apparently switching out some Milwaukee for DeWalt. This was in the closeout section and the similar DeWalt is on the floor. I looked up the retail price on just the right angle attachment, and it is over $30.

My Ryobi Garage door opener went kaput and Ryobi no longer sells parts. Which type would you choose and why?

Anyone know what job these pliers were meant for?

Update: The lamp connector is weather tight, so it can't be backprobed. The only exposed connection is inside the plug. I had to diagnose an LED array on a taillight that was out. I determined that the array was good, just not getting power. I wanted to test the connection to the wire...

It's $10 more than last time, but still a great deal...

I've seen some butchers in my day, and this guy is one of them. Watch how he "fixes" LED lights.

I needed an adapter for a bluetooth device. I could only find them on AliExpress. They were coming from China, and would take weeks, so I ordered a new Bluetooth device that they claimed was sourced in the USA. The new device took over two weeks to arrive, just days before the adapter coming...

I bought a few Aramark jackets years ago. They were made in foreign countries like Vietnam. The jackets are still very functional, rain repellant and warm. I bought two jackets this year and these are made in China. One jacket is supposed to be wind resistant, but the wind cuts right...

Several years ago I was meandering around a mall near Lake Elsinore CA, waiting for Mrs. Plombob, and I wandered into a store that was kind of a "Sharper Image" for tools. Some useful tools, lots of junk and a bargain bin. I found these three DeStaco clamps in the bargain bin. They were...
