    Garage slab concrete install hacks

    Seems like weekly there is a new thread here on how it went bad for someone's slab poor. Why is that? Do people not check references of the contractors? Do they no go out and look at previous jobs? Is there that many hack job fly by nighters who think they can pour a slab? Seems like this topic...

    Water witching RE: how-to-find-drain-pipe

    How does it work? I have bent a couple coat hangers and tried it (out of curiosity) and it does apparently work (for me anyways). Found my septic and well lines at 3 different houses I've owned over the years. I cant explain why it works for me. And I am the last one to believe in witchery and...

    When trying to post a pic I took on my IPhone it shows in the message sideways everytime. I tried turning my phone sideways and taking the pic but the same thing. I also tried copying the pic to my computer and when I view it on my computer it is right side up but when I post it here it is...

    Highlighting engraved numbers on tools

    As I grow old it's a lot harder to see the engraved (stamped) numbers on tools. wrenches, sockets, etc. I've watched several vids but not sure of the best way. Most are painting the engraved numbers on the tool and wiping off the excess. There are several "paints" and even powder coating dust...

    My ShelterLogic shed needs a new roof

    Well after 4 years of having this shed, the fabric/tarp finally ripped at a seam on the roof at the ridge. The constant banging with a broom from the inside to get the snow to slide off after every storm and the UV took it's toll. The frame is very strong and anchored well. I was thinking of...

    Past postings

    I went to my profile to view my past postings and can only get to the last 500. I wanted to see how I acted and posted 20 years ago when I joined this site. :bounce: I would assume Ryan doesn't save them all due to storage space.

    Snap On 3/8 bent handle flex head 80 tooth ratchet

    As the title says, at an affordable price. I'm in Canada so exchange rate is a consideration. I know some guys here have bought one and then didn't like it or never use it. I have a couple 32 tooth versions and would like to try an 80 tooth.

    Motorcycle/ATV piston ring compressors

    For the most part I haven't had a problem squeezing the rings with my fingers and guiding the the cyl down, but sometimes I have had a hard time on some later bikes. They don't have much of a chamfer on the bottom of the cyl and it is hard to squeeze the rings enough with my fingers. I'm tired...

    Converting SO ratchets

    I have 2 SO flex head 3/8 ratchets that are probably 20 years old or so. They are 32 tooth ratchets and I was wondering if the rebuild kits from the FL80 series ratchets would fit mine so I can have 80 tooth ratchets? They are F832 and F732A ratchets.

    Is there really any difference in engine oils?

    In comparing between say Canadian Tires house brand 10W30 (14.99/gal) and say Castrol GTX 10/30 (25.99/gal). I personally don't think so and have no proof to back that up but was just wondering.
