Looking at buying this house and it needs a new driveway. Any idea what it would cost to get all of this driveway paved? Would need to remove the old asphalt and then pave it and all the gravel parts. I had one done this big 20 years ago and something makes me think costs have gone up. lol

I just moved into a rental house. Around 1,200 sq/ft each floor. 2 floors. Electric heat, 2 stand alone gas fireplaces and a mini spit. I keep the electric heat off and the doors closed in the 4 bedrooms I don't use. Keep it on in my bedroom, bathroom and downstairs where I watch TV every night...

But someone decided to paint the guard and base. I want to remove the paint (would be nice to only strip the top and leave the...

This came up 10 minutes away for $80. Couldn’t resist. To what stage do I clean it up? First need a key cause when you tilt it to put in the front car seat all the drawers slide out. Good candidate for a restore gents?

I used my pressure washer last week for 3 days and today no pressure. Starts fine, but less pressure than the garden hose. The motor does not kick in like before when you squeezed the trigger. Nozzles, filter, hoses all clear. Any ideas gents?

This the fan motor for the bathroom at work and it squeals like a banshee. It's a 40 year old (guessing) unit that is hard wired and the box is built into the ceiling. It would be the easiest to buy a new fan with housing, but the install would be a pain and it's not like I have my tools at...

Hello, I'm putting railing on the deck on the front of the house and need suggestions on covering up the boards. Trying to make it so water does not drip down below. Doesn't have to be 100% waterproof as it isn't now. I thought of ply and then vinyl, but that got expensive fast. Probably going...

New air line and a package of new fittings. New fittings don’t fit my old fittings. Have they changed? I didn’t get the memo.

I am in my garage and the compressor is running. Suddenly the blow off valve goes off and the compressor is still running. I flip the off switch and it stays running so I unplug it.

My 1/2" torque wrench is a cheap 25 year old tool and is slipping occasionally. For the most part I just use it for wheels, which is fairly often. Budget of around $200. Is a higher end used one worth getting? If ridden hard, I worry it will be out of wack. What do you think?
