    Rotten egg smell in my well water

    Thank you so much for the response's guys. There is a company where I always had water tested whenever we bought our homes I never thought to have this done again. The first time this happened was when we returned from a vacation and the house had sat dormant for a good week. I've learned...

    Rotten egg smell in my well water

    Saw a similar thread, but that was on a shared well. Private well, we have been here 13 years. A few months ago our well water began smelling like rotten eggs. Not every day, it came and went. We have a Reem gas heater that was here when we bought the house. Water softer was put in 7-8...

    Heat gun.

    I have a HF corded gun I've used for years. But I get wanting a cordless. I'm fully invested into the Milwaukee M12/M18 system. I bought their M18 heat gun - returned it 2 days later. Not a bad heat gun, but I was ashamed I'd paid $100+ for that thing - in no way on this earth was it worth...

    pneumatic HF jack help

    @ BIIIK I bought the 20 ton jack @racecouger - that is exactly the pedal I bought! as pictured, it came with the push quick connect fittings. The narrower orifice got me to thinking it would not provide enough volume. Seeing your set up and recommendation, I'm going to just adapt as you did...

    pneumatic HF jack help

    Put a HF pneumatic jack on my shop press. I want to run it with a foot pedal to free up both hands. Ordered a foot pedal off Amazon but it is not tapped for 1/4x20 threads so I can put a barb on it and run hose off it. Which also brought up the thought even if it did, is it able to handle the...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Welded (I use that term loosely) the broken passenger seat frame on my '05 Buick. Replaced some missing bolts on the driveshaft on my Wrangler and finally got around to putting the snow blade on my 1025. It was 50* out and wanted to get this done long before 0* and 12" of snow was flying.

    Oxy/Acetylene gauge question

    Those gauges were probably around during the Eisenhower administration. They were in horrible condition. Had I thought they were rebuildable I'd have tried to salvage them. I still have all his torches and hope to rebuild those. But those gauges were very rough. I'm restoring the cart he...

    Oxy/Acetylene gauge question

    My tanks are 250/420 I think. They belonged to my grandfather on his farm. I inherited them. The gauges that came with them were old and I don't trust them so I tossed them. I don't know enough about guages to know what I need. I have large tips that will cut through at least 3" steel. I...

    upgrading from Series 2 - Series 3 not worth it

    I recently "upgraded" my series 2 72" to a series 3. Wanted to add a top box to my series 2, but wanted it to match and really wanted the two longer drawers on the series 3 cabinet. Here's my takeaway. In the end, not worth it. The two top long drawers are nice, which was one of my main...

    shop heater recommendation - propane

    Venting isn't a problem, but will have to go out the wall. Had a metal roof put on, not cutting a hole in it.
