    Diffident, If it was in Lancaster County, PA it was me. Sorry man! (sort of🙄) The seller's father had a workshop with a bunch of late 60s and 70s (like an estate sale but not advertised) craftsman machines (Taiwan vintage) and hand tools I took pics if you are interested, PM me. I have his...

    Pole barn engineer stamp

    I would suggest to make the permit process part of your contract with the supplier, and responsibilty for any changes to be their responsibilty. I had a similar situation with a fencing contract. I have a next door neighbor who was not happy about my soon to be installed fence. In the...

    PVC drainage questions

    I missed the detail where you back yard slopes to a pond. 2% would probably put your outfall in mid slope. As '56 said, follow the existing slope.

    PVC drainage questions

    Magic, One more thing: i am in favor of gluing pvc once evrything is laid out and fitted. If you need to change something in the future, and after cutting out the section you need to alter, it is very easy to accomodate with a straight slip coupling (no stop in the inside diameter). The slip...

    PVC drainage questions

    Dear magical facial hair, I would recommend a 2 % grade (as you have stated) 1/4" ÷ 12" = 2%. Other option from spout to grate (as Ace has suggested) is adding a wye conn at the spout connection as a clean out for flushing and inspection access but making it closed at that connection point...

    New Lumber Prices

    I paid $80 / sheet x 2 for 3/8 sanded plywood 2 weeks ago. I also made a mistake last year when working on a basement subfloor and bought 3/4" (23/32) PT 4x8 sheets of plywood (at normal prices). I had to have HD cut them in half for transport. Then I was reading my vinyl planking install...

    Black & Decker Workmate

    Picked up my second WM today, a 79-001 type 6 or 7 (judging by wolfcj's excellent research) for $25. It has the three boot feet, and 1 leveling foot. Needs some spray paint clean-up, and general cleaning and lube. But it opened easily, and the jawz are in pretty good shape. One hit on the...

    Factory of Safety when buying jack/jack stands?

    I had the HF 6 ton jackstands that were recalled. Scared the piss out of me the number of times I have been under them. I have always been careful using wheel chocks the vehicle gets lifted. No more. I returned them for a refund. This is what I replaced them with...

    Meet the fleet/ show us your wheelbarrows

    THE END OF THE 4 CU FT WHEELBARROW!! I went to try to buy a new Ames/True Temper/ Blue Hawk 4 cu ft wheelbarrow. They do not make them anymore! They were all made by Ames (I believe) and rebranded for Ace Lowes, etc. My 20 year old true temper had a rotted and broken handle, and a crack in...

    Showoff your work tables (not benches)

    I ran into a craigslist ad in Delaware for a Hamilton drafting table. I actually put it in my office at work. I use it for thinking amd handwritten note-taking. It does not have a monitor. I rewired an old Dacor drafting lamp to dual LEDs for awesome lighting. I will look at some of the...

    Cheap LED Shop Lighting

    Ryan, I have rewired about 10 fluorescent fixtues to date ( all direct 120v bulbs). If you study the wiring diagram closely and take your time with the 1st one, you will wonder why you hesitated. It is no more difficult than changing out an outlet to a grounded in an old house. Pretty...
