    Leaf shredders?

    I've been looking into a leaf mulcher as well. Looks like they are not very expensive. HD has the corded 12 amp Works WG509 with metal impeller that looks like it would do a good job. 18:1 mulch ratio. I haven't pulled the trigger yet because I missed the weather window for mulching. It will...

    Best and least complicated side mount opener ?

    Definitely need the spring assist if you want your door to open all the way. I've got a Liftmaster 8500 and works great now, but I replaced the cables twice before I figured out why they were coming off all the time. I'm lucky I didn't damage the door while I figured that out. I don't have...

    Agree, Lots of commercials out there drumming up fear about RFID cards, but there are really very few issuers using that contactless card reader technology. All the new cards going out today require the card to be physical inserted into the card reader. The only RFID card I have is my employee...

    GAS tankless water heaters

    I've have a Takagi T-K1 for 12 years now. Love it. Cost about $1600 installed about 2.5x the cost of a tank. Great investment, I will never go back to a tank. Minimum flow rate is critical. I live in the midwest so solution for me was to put high flow shower heads and faucets where the flow...

    Mr. Funnel??

    I've got one I've used for kerosene. Works good, separates water from fuel well. I don't remember the model, but its a decent size funnel about 4-5 inches wide. I use it when transferring kerosene from barrel to a smaller can.

    Still lovin it. Still working hard to move up there full time soon. It is so much nicer to work on improvements rather than repairs. This summer's improvements in the garage include insulating, installing plywood for the walls, sealing the floor and installing jack shaft garage door opener...

    Applying concrete densifier

    Getting ready to apply LegacyInd H39 densifier to my garage floor and apron. Like to spray it on. Is a garden sprayer appropriate? Also any reason I should keep the densifier off the concrete block stem wall? Do I need to mask of the stem wall or not worry about a little overspray?

    DIY disasters

    A month into ownership of my first house, decided to take care of the slow draining bath tub. I got a drain snake and spent 1/2 hour getting it through the big clog. Tub drained great. I spent another hour running water into the tub while I cleaned the tile and scrubed tub. Finally decided to...

    Electric Hot Water Heaters, what do you recommend/use?

    One downside to the Bradford White HWH's is the sacrificial anode is integrated with the hot water outlet. Makes changing anodes a bit more of a chore.
