    cement board screws?

    ok appreciate it. Forgot about the cement board used for tile. I thought I was told the smartside stuff had cement in it for some reason. I should research the materials I reckon.

    cement board screws?

    New house with hardie siding and smartside soffits and trim. Was at a hardware store and ran across cement board screws. Never knew of such. I ran an exterior screw in a piece of scrap of the smartside and it wouldn’t have held in nothing. Builder told me a lot of times they use anchors.? I...

    Thank you Mainer.. why the heck they can't just make ONE battery "type" for each amp hour rating is beyond me. Who the hell wants to buy the "not so good" battery for an expensive tool? Oh well........

    Forgot to add that my batteries say 20V max XR Don't see XR on these. They make too many kinds of the same **** these days on everything it seems to me.

    Plumbers? Toilet rough in size - 11 1/2"

    have any of y'all looked at the attachment on my first post? From what I see, there's no clear sign of a tank lid to wall measurement unless it's the 1 3/16" they list at the top left. I see from the finished wall to the supply intake there's 3 5/8". Those measurements are what makes me...

    Plumbers? Toilet rough in size - 11 1/2"

    Can someone confirm if I can use this crapper with a rough in measurement of 11 1/2". It's advertised as a 12" rough in. According to the attached drawing it looks like I'll have plenty of clearance from the back of the tank lid to my wall. Or, is there a reason I don't see that would make...

    Understanding AGM vs Lithium LiFePO4 charging and use in motorcycle (2019 Harley)

    Never tried a lithium in any of my scooters. They may be wonderful. Don't know. What I do know is of all the stinking batteries I've bought over many years on different motorcycles, the factory batteries from the harley house have been the best, hands down. That is compared to what you could...

    Terminating low voltage Network cables, tools and connectors ??

    All good info. If I’m figuring this right, and using a patch panel, it looks like I’ll be punchin a helluva lot more than crimpin. Punch down rj45 females for patch panel and wall plates. I suppose just choose a reputable brand same as the crimp connectors? I believe the only place I’ll be...

    Terminating low voltage Network cables, tools and connectors ??

    Appreciate all the input. I have read where they say to be sure to use the correct connectors for your application but when I shopped around I got confused as I couldn’t find the specs I was looking for. Seemed they said good for this, that and bacon fat, wide range, but nothing specific. No...

    Terminating low voltage Network cables, tools and connectors ??

    Brandon, I do understand the reason for using a patch cable in those situations but, all my cables to the WAP's and cameras will be within the device connection or in the soffit, or ceiling. Still not a good idea to terminate straight to those devices? Thanks

Mostly #10 and 12 copper, control cable, switchboard wire in Substations. Enough that I've had major hand surgery on both hands. But I know nothing about this stuff. I...
