    Above 1200 Sq/FT 86's 20HP shop

    86, Great progress, keep at it! Your photos with the insulation “bricks” reminded me when I purchased those exact same ones from Menards a few years ago when I finished my garage. I purchased about 30 blocks which took two trips and about 2 months of constant shuffling in my garage because I...

    TV mounts require lag bolts?

    Since my employer designs and manufactures TV mounts, I would recommend utilizing the lags included with the mount. The cabinet screws you reference, I would strongly suggest not using those. As stated earlier, it doesn’t take much force for the TV to act as a lever and those cabinet screws...

    Shed Build Construction

    Great build D45 and that color appears to be holding up well after nearly three years. Vents will help a lot, roll up door is slick too. Any further plans on the lean to?

    Entry level cordless tools

    Don't forget to check out Hitachi as well. Had my set for 5+ years as DIY use and just recently upgraded to a 3.0 slim lithium ion battery from one of the first that finally died.

    Truly incredible build - just lost the last two hours of my life stumbling into this thread but well worth it! Your drive and attention to detail is top notch. Nice collection of period correct items you are adding as well. I was just in Des Moines this past week for the first time, I can see...

    Need help choosing a riding mower

    That is a garden tractor hill. The mowers you listed in your original post would be lucky to make it a couple of years. Heat kills the hydrostatic if they are not made for it. Like an earlier poster mentioned; John Deere GT225, GT235, GT245, 325, 335, 345, 425,445, 455 are designed to handle...

    Need help choosing a riding mower

    Rockin, Based off the previous owners equipment, sounds like some terrain that the box store mowers aren't anywhere near capable of handling. Something along these lines would be as close to a subcompact at your price point; https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/grd/5999104659.html as long as...

    Looking for ideas for inside walls....

    Ain't that the truth! I went with drywall on the bottom 4 feet and then slatwall up to the ceiling. Gives me the versatility to swap things around and adjust storage if needed.

    TEKTON! I have the 24" version, works flawlessly in breaking mower blade bolts free and the price was right for the two times a year I'll use it.

    Tekton Breaker Bar versus stubborn mower bolt....

    The bolt didn't stand a chance. What have I been doing my whole life (all 32 years) without a breaker bar!? First time putting the 24inch 1/2" drive bar to use and popped those bolts off the X360 48" deck without breaking a sweat. Great product for the money and the few times I will end up...

    Craftsman Pro Screwdrivers Black Friday Sale

    I read this thread at 11a on Sunday, by 2:30 I had another 20 screwdrivers I didn't need! Basically took all the non-torx they had left. Unlike some, I'm not overly concerned about making a complete set, anything with the grip handle is what I prefer. They actually had a couple of the longer...
