That looks much better. I think sliders have gotten a bad rap. We have a 30 year old+ 8 ft. Andersen slider in our house that works great. It...
Its sad the quality of stuff that's available these days. Galvanized pipe and fittings are prime examples. You can tell that most of the stuff...
Maybe this: Added a 2" receiver / winch mount to my trailer
Aluminum oxide can be added to polyurethane to make a much tougher finish. Some floor polys are sold that already contain the aluminum oxide like...
Polarity is critical with LED lights where it wasn't before with incandescent lights. LEDs won't work if the positive and negative are reversed....
I'm spending mine preparing for snow! Got the stoves going and headed out now to put some chains on the tractor.
Yeah, except that there's a 4" pipe passing through where the plywood would best go. I've done what you're suggesting elsewhere in the house...
This is an unheated garage/shop below our kitchen.
The exit point is shown in the photo at the lower left. It's a drain/vent in a wall and would be tough to lower the tee. Any lowering without...
The air handler is about 12 ft. away. I'd like to use 8" round duct to feed two registers but will have to separate into 2, 6" round ducts for...
