Pianos are tricky to move. We have specialty moving companies that deal with pianos.

I am sure if DWB has to abandon his piano he would salvage the wire for putting invisible holes on drywall.

Piano wires are good for removing mirrors that’s been glued on the wall.

I think south Florida is worse, much worse. What Kurt showed is common here 😱 and I am not kidding.

Aren’t pink and camo contradictory?

I personally prefer type L copper for water supply lines.

I don’t bother with CPVC after seeing how easy their joints can fail.

Galvanized no thanks.

PEX, agree with CB about critters chewing through PEX in attics and wall cavities. But one big advantage of PEX is you can minimize the number of joints significantly. If I pipe with PEX I would…[Read more]

I wear a bow tie when I put on suspenders.

Today Amazon has the D handle hammer at $219 and the L shaped hammer at $320 USD.

I bet the new compact one will fit inside an LBoxx and the old one won’t. I don’t know for sure just a guess.

In one of the pictures I see what looks like a downspout running down behind the hedges. Does it discharge onto the bed or connect to a French drain under the bed? Also a manifold under the mailboxes can’t tell what kind.

That picture showing the outside table with umbrella in the middle of a concrete deck. How is that area sloped? Is there a…[Read more]

Very nice vanity fitted in that space. Do you have to…[Read more]

It’s under “Limited Lifetime Warranty” against defective workmanship and materials.

Except they decided this is not a defect but “normal wear and tear” which I am not sure I agree but I am not going to waste time fighting for a $60 blow torch.

Not sure why, but if a drill breaks after 3 years with a wobbling drill chuck I am more likely to…[Read more]

One is more compact and the dust collection is better integrated?

I know one of the Bosch rotary hammers there is adjustment angle to SDS attachment so if you are using a chipping bit you can hold it how you like it and re-orient the chipping bit. I think it’s one of those with a superhero names.

What is the fundamental problem you are trying to solve?

Is the existing walkway too narrow with the hedges and you want the footprint of the planter to be part of the walkway?

I would just remove the hedges put geotextiles down then mulch on top, the mulch can be decorative river rock stone mulch or similar.

If you pour concrete it’s going to…[Read more]

But the m12 chainsaw will compete with Bosch NAINA mini chainsaw 😂 and yes the power station could be nice.

These are NOT new tools in the pipeline but the guy went through Milwaukee’s patent applications and design drawings and shared what Milwaukee could be working on.

I find the M12 chainsaw and the propane powered battery charger LOL.

not so much about what I did today, but I was using my hole saws several days ago.

I am usually very careful and know what goes where, but that day the mosquitoes were out and I was in a hurry to pack up at dusk at a rental and lost my pilot bit for my hole saw.

Strangely enough a few days later I found it rolling out of the top of the truck…[Read more]
