Been a lot of old threads that suddenly appear in the new posts due to weird bumps. Not sure if a spammer bumped them or if someone just isn't paying attention, but answering a question that was asked 10 years ago seems unnecessary.... Is there any way to give a "warning" when you reply to a...

Didn't mean to takeover another thread. Need an outdoor concrete sealer that can be used on integral dyed concrete with a colored cure/release agent. Some previous conversation below

Looking for old round(ish) metal valve handles. Someone out there has a bucket I bet.

Ok, trying to button up some long standing outdoor projects this spring. Planning on doing a faux stone facade on the front of the walkout basement (will blend siding/concrete/retaining wall). 1). How are people running gravel/stone driveways up to this material? Any issues with splash, frost...

I've probably got 3 or 4 of these kicking around: Which are great with standard paper (rubber backed ftw), OK with PSA and not great with hook and loop discs. 99% of the time I grab a piece of scrap and wrap whatever paper I have around that. Saw this today and figured I'd give it a go...

Got a bunch of shaker cabinet doors in hickory I'm working to finish and install. No real indication of what the "front" should be, but one face seems to have a slightly eased edge and this in general is the best looking face. A few panels have had some less then desirable grain or blemishes in...

Wasn't paying attention last week and ordered some 71B3750 hinges and the flat base/clip. What face frame adapter do I need?

Background: many moons ago I wanted to add some switches next to the door in my basement/garage (courtesy lights and 2 outdoor lights). I did 4" boxes in the ceiling, transitioning to thwn and conduit from there. Somehow I measured wrong (or probably had a different plan back then) and now that...

Got about 24 doors to drill for concealed hinges soon. I'll do 1-2 by hand, but thinking I'll get a jig for this. Any suggestions?

Who here uses expanding foam spray guns? I bought a cheap one last summer, should have bought one years ago. Game changer over the stupid cans and lots more "flavors" of materials available. Any tips/tricks to getting a "fan" spray pattern? Have some wider areas I'd like to hit and don't want...

Not sure if I've somehow missed it, but are these tags new?

I'm assuming I'm doing it wrong as I can't seem to find a solution that works between the orange box and a quick search. Need a 3 gang box that can be surface mounted with conduit. Cover needs to have at least one "decora" gang, 2 normal switches and preferably no sharp corners. Currently have...

I have a couple lights on my entry that I need a good (works, lasts and isn't super expensive) astronomical timer for. Looked at the orange box last weekend and all they stocked was their house brand...

Heard a low rumbling tonight while making dinner, figured the fridge got pushed too far back again, nope. Got louder, figured helicopter (life flight runs up the valley), went outside and dead quiet. Finally figured out it was the blower on the furnace. Blower has been set to circulate all...

Curious more then any real plans, does NEC currently allow for overhead exterior feeds? What wire for a simple 120v circuit or maybe a small sub? Looks like #6 is the smallest common overhead drop cable

So years ago I picked up several sheets of 4x10 slatwall of FB marketplace. Some of it was damaged, some of it got wet, all of it warped quickly as it's MDF. I hung half a sheet and saved another 4 sheets, enough to do a wall in the basement. Never found a good source for hardware and frankly...

Anyone have a foot detail on how a metal roof should get flashed into a wall? I'm looking for details where the roof is narrower then the wall, and how the roof flashing ties into the rake trim Terrible picture I stole from a roof supplier, the white arrow is where I'm focused: Another way...

So I've got a basketcase forced hot air system.... Vertical off the top of the furnace, "T" into the 8x16 main trunk. ~30' one way and maybe 6' the other. On the short side, there is a 6" branch off to the bathroom register, then a foot later another 6" duct right where the main trunk ends...

So need to put the vinyl siding back on the gable end of my house (longish story not for here). Painfully obvious today that hand nailing is a bad idea as it makes the wall bounce. Will also be re-siding house in the next year. Need a bailer recommendation that won't break the bank, going to be...

Have the rules changed in regards to commercial accounts? Seems to be more and more normal "members" join and then within a few posts are linking their channels or just outright plugging products and services. Some try to be subtle, but their post(s) history makes it clear why they're here...
