Was talking about installing a propane fired garage heater and a builder I work with often said that since this is in a garage, that the flue pipe must be dual construction. One for the exhaust and a fresh air intake. I have never heard of this. Does anyone have any insight?

First let me state that I absolutely hate well houses. So, to start, I got called to re-wire an old wellhouse (pit). The wire coming into the well house is buried under concrete, so we have to deal with what we have. It is old 12 UF without a ground. I ran it into a 4" square metal box and from...

I brought these 2 spoke shaves at the local Re-Store yesterday for $1.50 each but have no idea how or what the little one does or works. Both marked "SNELL & ATHERTON.

I have a small cinderblock shop that has a small office attached. Living at an elevation of 8,000' many furnaces have an oxygen depletion sensor that won't let the furnace work above 4,000' maximum. The office is small but in need of heat. I was thinking of a free-standing vent free or a small...

It is a tape measure clamp to pull tight a tape. Looks like a pair of scissors handles with no blades. I have trouble posting...

I recently acquired a vintage Yerkes-Plumb broadaxe head with the poll instead of being flat, instead has a set of 3 initials cast proud onto the poll. The few times I worked as a logger we would mark the trees we fell with marked initials but with a colored grease pencil. Could this be the...

Good morning. I have a question I hope others have experience with. I live in a house that has wooden decks and sidewalks. Over the years and different owners, decks have been replaced and stained. The problem I am having is, each deck has a different color stain. It has been 5 years since we...
