    Ya just gotta laugh at CL scammers

    Whatever you do, don't just respond to a text with the word "YES". My best bud did that and then had an insurance scam billing his cell phone bill, and they had a "yes" to confirm his order for $30/month for scam cell phone insurance. So when they ask "do you still have the item" (never product...

    Eden Prairie MN Menards closing

    I am forced to agree with jmh21586, I needed 12 standard 2x4 studs in October, went through an entire pallet to just root through twisted mess of wood, If I need lumber, I go across the street to the Lowes, even if it is more cost, 85-90% of the stack is very good lumber there. :beer:

    Eden Prairie MN Menards closing

    Hey, another Springfieldian here (well, close... Athens) I have been disappointed in the varied items I have returned to "El Menardos" in recent times. Light fixtures, hardware and even about 10 of 30 iron pipe fittings that were mis-threaded. Please, I'm not bashing, I'm sure every retailer...

    Part Washer solvent - what do you use?

    For aqueous cleaners (water), the good stuff contains 2-Butoxyethanol, got hooked on this with Oil Eater brand products but the price is ridiculous. Have slowly changed over my washer to the water based degreaser that harbor freight sells by the gallon, it also contains 2-Butoxyethanol, so...

    mothballs in your walls?

    But mothballs do not last forever, to place them permanently behind walls. I would think if you tucked them behind cabinets/shelves where you could replace them would be better. I have read where people put the moth balls inside of an old pantyhose so they can "breathe" and then toss when no...

    Bugs and Spiders in the Garage

    Almost lost my index finger to a brown recluse spider bite, I don't care how many other bugs spiders eat, I don't tolerate them. I invested about 10 evenings 2 summers ago and spritzed each one with spray killer when the come out to set up shop in the moonlight. That slowed down the overall rate...
