    Best toolbox budget $600-$700

    Agreed. Surprised no one else mentioned the Huskys have been recently redesigned. Look good (blacked out with satin black finish), decent specs, soft close slides like the Milwaukee boxes, and at a reasonable price. Been checking them out online - unfortunately, local HD doesn't have one to...

    Is this Husky tool chest comparable quality to the harbor freight 44"?

    I've often wondered about the durability of the HF's drawer latches. I'm beginning to think that for myself, they'd be a pain to deal with while getting into many drawers quickly. Haven't seen the new version of the Husky boxes, but do like the soft/auto close slides on the Milwaukee boxes at...

    Speaker-Audio Wiring

    Cat5 or other twisted pair for pre-amp levels (RCA cables) = yes. Using it to run med/large speakers = absolutely not. Those in the car audio industry can probably remember the marketing hype behind O2 free cables and how they used the skin effect of AC power to "prove" that higher strand...

    Plywood floor coverings

    Hoops, IMO the diamond plate would/could make it difficult to roll things across - depending on size of the wheels of your dollies/carts/ect (noisy too). Sheet steel would be best I think, just don't plan on doing sprints on it - could be slipperyish when coverd in dust, weld splatter. Heat from...

    NG Condensing Boilers for closed loop radiant floor

    Verm - Wow 28 zones! That layout must be impressive to look at So are you saying that every two years you are spending $300 for an ion rod/ignitor in addition to the cleaning? Do you have to neutralize the condensate?

    How to Pressure Test Pex Tubing Using Sharkbite Fittings

    Usually, you'd just cap the end of the last loop and daisy chain the remaining loops with connectors, install the pressure fitting on the end of the first loop and pressure test the whole thing at once. If a pressure loss exsists, you'd have to isolate loop by loop to find the culprit. If you...

    NG Condensing Boilers for closed loop radiant floor

    jonjon - excellent info, wish you were local..... I've gotten so many conflicting stories from heat contractors on which type of system I should replace my aging oil boiler with (and sticker shock from thier quotes!). Pretty much made up my mind, I'll research it some more and do it myself...

    Lowe's clearing out JM insulation

    I'll store it for you..... in my walls and ceiling :lol_hitti OP - thanks for the tip about the 20%, I was watching it regularly, but haven't been to Lowes in awhile now. Does anyone else think the big box stores sell insulation at a premium..... and now at 20% off, its just about "normal"...

    Hot tub breaker randomly trips .

    Leeboy - I worked on a friends tub that was doing the exact same thing. I found a small amount of corrosion around the heater terminals. This was providing enough of a path to ground to trip gfci. Ensure that heater studs and copper bus bars are clean. I read that your heater was replaced...

    All terrain tool carts, creepers and such.

    yeah, that Dogbone creeper had a version for rough surfaces had bigger wheels IIRC. I've got the regular version and love it, do wish it was about 4" longer - sometimes the wheel pods interfere with where my shoulders need to be. http://www.bonecreeper.com/products.html

    Drill Dr 750x $70 off

    LOL at the guy who "can't afford to save anymore money" I bought one few years ago..... seems like it was about 120 bux at the time. Anyhow, I really like it. Do pay attention to the instructions so that you can set it up right. It can sharpen bits to 118deg or 130deg (IIRC). I ran through...
