    What gun are you guys using to spray fluid film w/ a 360degree nozzle

    I got this on amazon that was supposed to spray properly. It does spray w/o the extended hose but when I put on the hose w/ 4 holes on the perimeter of the nozzle is sprays strongly out of 1 and weak out of another. Two others it doesn't even spray out of so I have no idea if it's actually...

    Dumb sink plumbing/P trap question

    My sister put in a single drain sink. I put in a p trap for now but the bottom fitting is currently a slip fit which has very little material to allow sealing and isn't the right way to do it. I need slip fit into the disposal and into the home drain pipe and threaded coupling at the bottom...

    I am utterly shocked w/ milwaukee's incompetence. Trying to see if a tool is counterfeit

    I purchased a 6.5" fuel circular saw. The motor is LOUD. Louder than any fuel tool I've ever used. The switch is also different feeling than any other Milwaukee fuel tool I have and I have a lot. That could be because the cir. saw needs on/off and no linearity but I don't know. My first cir...

    Tight laundry room in garage, had to raise washer/dryer looking for opinions on shelves.

    I know code requires the gas dryer to be 16" off the floor in a garage but i never bothered to make a podium for them. Well wifey decided she wanted a front load washer and loading it is a pain so I finally made a podium. However, in doing this, I had to remove the wire shelf on the back wall...

    Water softener w/o a brine tank ?!?!

    My sister just bought a house and it has a water-right impression plus softener. HOWEVER, there is no brine tank. Looking at the head, I have to assume this a plug of some sort for where the brine tank hose would be. Is there any logical reason the previous owner would have removed the brine...

    SLA battery CCA vs. Ah ratings, DOES NOT COMPUTE....

    So I have this battery which is 650CCA yet shows 60Ah. From the conversions I've seen it should be CCA \ 7.25 or 89.6Ah but the battery label shows otherwise. I also looked an official AC Delco spec page and it also shows this as correct. The reason I'm even asking this is because a battery...

    RV gravity feed hose question. Corrugated tube to barb fitting, how can this seal?

    I am having to replace a gravity feed tube on my RV. The ID is corrugated. The fittings on either side are barbs. There is no sealant on this and I'm sort of at a loss how I can achieve a watertight seal w/ a corrugated ID and a barb using a hose clamp. The manual states that you can fill...

    Can you help me calculate load capacity of a 16ga. alum. 6063-T5 1" square tube that is 36" long?

    I've been trying to figure out the equation but I'm failing. I have to support the back off a fresh water tank for my RV. The tube will be sitting atop frame rails and under the floor the tank sits on. I am unsure of the size of the tank so I am going with the largest it can be (100g) so...

    Maybe you guys can help, looking for a way to mount bottom of a ladder back to rear of my class A motorhome

    Basically, I did what I thought would be a lasting repair a few years back. I used well nuts (Expanding rubber) and they worked, even though they are not exactly intended for this use case. The ladder is thin alum. tube and unfortunately (likely due to the cold of winter) the expanding force...

    Trying to offer my SIL some plumbing suggestions, need input

    She had a friend do a bathroom remodel for her. He's a tile setter, not a plumber. I noticed this drains VERY slowly and too slow to use it for more than maybe 1 minute. I went into the crawl space and found this. I also see he notched the top 1/2 of the floor joist to pass this PVC...

    A garage was added to this house and that second roof tied into the bottom roof is part of that addition. I am getting water behind my fascia where my gutter screws into and the wood is rotted there as well. I assume water is running down the roof and under the side panel and rotting the wood...

    RV guys, Do you guys use silicone sealant on the black water to closet flange down pipe?

    From the factory they gooped the **** out of the grommet (seal) to tank and the grommet to pipe connections w/ silicon sealant. The fit is tight and it's a rubber seal so I would assume it would do it's just fine by being installed dry but curious if they know something I don't? I have the...

    Opinions on RV bathroom floor and trim out

    I decided to replace my toilet and this turned into pulling the old tile floor as the new toilet would not cover the footprint of the old toilet. Originally there were 1" hex tiles down before and grout but I'm considering going laminate flooring. Either peel and stick or perhaps laminate...
