    Problems with Liftmaster opener

    This started about 3 weeks ago.... sometimes the opener will not open the door, either with remote, or hardwired button. Come back later, and it works fine. Opener came new with the house, so is only 7yrs old. Any ideas on a fix?

    Low water pressure in our home.

    Our water pressure in our house has dropped to almost nothing. There is not a leak, as the meter is not running when everything is off. The water supply for our subdivision is on a closed system (whatever that means). We have a pressure releaving valve at the street, and an hot water...

    The Gator Pit I order was finally ready last week, so I went and picked it up on Friday. I had time today, so I lit a fire in it, to get it seasoned. Time to stock up on some wood, and get to grillin'

    Bend Pak HD-9 problem

    This lift is 2.5yrs old, and I love it. I had my Mustang parked on the lift, and the lift raised up. Been up there all week. Needed to bring it down today, and noticed that the cables had slack in them, under the ramp. That was odd, as it has never done that before. I have the air bottle kit...

    Picked up my new car yesterday

    Ordered this thing back in June, and picked it up yesterday.... 2013 Taurus SHO. This car runs good... the Motor Trend specs on it have it faster than my '99 Lightning was when it was stock. I am going to enjoy this thing... a heck of a lot more fun than the vehicle it replaced... a '06 Scion xA...

    Roll-up door electric opener

    Looking at possibly doing this to the doors on my shop, and was wondering what was a good one to go with? I have three roll-up doors on the front of my shop, so I probably would do one at a time, instead of buying all three at once, to offset cost. Here's one of the doors, right after they...

    Ok, I am 43yrs old. I remember reading these stories about these children when I was young. They would solve problems and build things. It was a series of books. One of the kids had won some call in show that provided them with a chauffeur.... their transportation. Do not remember all the...

    Oil drain barrel

    I'm making an oil drain barrel out of a 55 gal drum, and need some assistance. I bought a catch pan, but want to have the pipe coming from it to the barrel to be adjustable, so I can use it for varying heights, if need be. The catch pan has a 3/4" outlet on it, but am gonna use the 2" bung on...
