    Looking to buy: Teach me your ways about snow blowers / throwers

    This. Except I have the 24" with last year of the the B&S engines. That thing is a little beast. ...and I'd sell it to you if you were in WI. We just bought a new house with a 3-stall by 65 foot driveway. Bought a Deere lawn tractor with blower from my FIL for pennies. The Ariens has sat all...

    DIY Granite Cutting

    This. We went from a decent NG stove with cast grates to an induction top in our new place. I will never go back to gas if I can help it. Ever. All that time spent cleaning grease off of those grates and burners. And cleaning up spills immediately so they wouldn't scorch. And taking everything...

    Harbor Freight tool thread

    I have their big dust collector. It is awesome. My only complaint is that it pulls nearly 20 amps on startup so it will flip a breaker if anything else is running. My new shop will have a dedicated circuit. I may buy a big compressor there once I'm up and running. I expect it will be loud but...

    I need a snowblower

    Look: the Honda blowers probably ARE the best on the market. But here's the thing: It just doesn't matter in most cases. The Ariens stuff is generally above most of the other consumer-grade stuff and is all that is really necessary in most cases. OP: Based on the pictures you will do just fine...

    I need a snowblower

    I just don't understand this post..... You want to spend up to $3000 on a walk-behind snowblower? That kind of money puts you in the range of buying a John Deere riding lawnmower with a 44" snow blower attachment. Then you won't be stuck with a one-trick pony that doesn't get used during the...

    What's the easiest way to remove and preserve granite countertops - Calling Greenman!

    New subforum. Cool! Sorry. I know this isn't the topic of the OP, but I can't let this one go. This is most certainly NOT the case in our area for anything other than low budget remodel jobs. Installing flooring after cabinets means your finished/panelized ends can't be scribed to the finished...

    Engineered hardwood flooring

    We have an accepted offer on a house that is being built that will be completed in early/mid-June. It's a spec home on 1.7 acres in a "development" of four houses. Great builder, property, and location. Anyway, one of the upgrades we're debating is laying engineered wood flooring on the 650 ft...

    Droid Mini vs GS3

    Hah...well that answers my question then. I emailed the guy directly for the motox unlock last night. Had my code this morning. Now rocking TWRP and CM11 on my non-DE moto. Wife wants the same thing for her Droid Mini. Apparently the same guy can help me.

    Employer-provided tablets, but....

    LAN -> SBS2011 -> ClarkOS filter -> outside world I had thought about that over the weekend. I'm assuming there's some kind of app for this. Parental controls would likely work. Talked to a Verizon rep today to get total cost on these things and do some looking. I'm just not liking the 7"...

    Employer-provided tablets, but....

    This is exactly it. Our gateway (at least the content-filtering portion) is controlled by a guy out in PA. He ultimately takes all direction from whatever "branch" of the Mennonite church they are members of. I have absolutely no say in how that is managed. Running everything through that...

    Employer-provided tablets, but....

    I have an interesting situation here that includes my nearly complete lack of knowledge about tablets. I've always wanted one, but could never justify it. I work for a Mennonite-owned company. The ownership belongs to a relatively progressive New Order church so we have (heavily filtered)...

    Recomend 10" sawblade for tablesaw

    Thin kerf blades are EXCELLENT for 1-1.5hp saws on 120v. Those size saws generally won't spin a full-kerf blade as well as a 3hp 220/3-phase Unisaw. You're right that there is no one blade that is good at cutting everything. If you're going to be doing any hobby woodworking you're going to...

    Built-In Bread Basket Door Replacement

    Actually....the technical name for that thing is a "tambour door." Looks like you can get them from Rockler. We probably get ours from HDL, but I'm not sure if they do direct-to-public sales. Is the track broken? I've had to install these before on-site....not so much fun...and I knew what I...

    Recall Republican Wisconsin Governor Walker status update thread

    Because our state law allows for a recall election in cases like this? If you don't like it, work to get rid of it. Don't complain because people who disagree with you are using the procedures outlined in the law. You better believe that Obama would have been recalled if that was possible at a...

    If a restaurant brews their own beer, how much does it costs them?

    While this is all true....you don't get into homebrewing to save money on your craft beer addiction. Brewing at home will make you buy more craft beer ("research"), bigger kettles, bigger fermentors, gas burners, propane tanks, auto siphons, kegs, keezers, fermentation chambers, grain mills...

    Homebrewing Tips and Tricks

    This is true, but not for us homebrewers. Off-flavors from yeast generally only happen when lots of pressure is exerted on your trub. Once you think about brewing barrels instead of gallons, it's something you need to worry about. I generally don't do a secondary unless I need a fermenter or...

    Fishermen ... chime in!

    I think there CAN be a difference. Try casting a 1/2 oz. weight on 10# Trilene XT, then trying casting that same weight on the same rig spooled with 10# XL. You will notice a difference. There probably isn't too much difference between the XL-type lines and braids, though. Certainly not at the...

    Fishermen ... chime in!

    I use PowerPro braid on nearly all of my rods. Spinning, casting, and trolling. I fish for a lot of walleye and smallmouth in Wisconsin and walleye in South Dakota when I get the chance. Why braid? 1. It's very limp. Great for casting. 2. Its diameter is less than an equal pound-test...

    Shop lights -- need more light

    I built a 28x32(deep) last summer. I put 14 of these in the ceiling. Eight are spaced in the back work area and six are in the parking area. I keep 100w equivalent, 6500K CFL bulbs in all of the fixtures except the one over the entry door, which has a 100w incandescent. As they die I'll probably...

    Buying a car with a salvage title

    Wrong. I bought a salvage titled Ford Escape when I was in college. In June it was parked on the street and got hit hard by some chick who was texting. Her insurance company gave me $5700 which is MORE than what I paid for the vehicle by at least $1200. Yes, I bought a prior salvage vehicle...

    brad nailer gun question - type of compressor?

    You may be confusing 22ga vs. 18ga and 18ga vs. 16ga. I would use a 22 gauge gun (a "pin nailer") for small particle board stuff and upholstery. I was using our 18ga Paslode cordless guns to run some painted 3x7/8" MDF trim the other day and the MDF was splitting a bit around the nail holes...

    brad nailer gun question - type of compressor?

    Yes. There is a Stanley Bostitch deal like that for super cheap at Menards and Home Depot all the time. Second, 1 1/4" brads are too short for what you're doing. 1/2" trim + 1/2" of drywall leaves you with 1/4" of nail in the stud and that's not including any mud, corner beads, or gaps that you...

    Need some advice in purchasing a riding lawnmower

    According to what I've been told by a few sales people, this isn't true (but they could be wrong). According to them there are a total of four manufacturers of all snowblowers and lawn equipment: Ariens, Toro, Simplicity, and MTD. Ariens, Toro, and Simplicity do everything themselves and drop a...

    At what point are problems with a new-to-me vehicle not the dealership's?

    Hah. Yes there are drops on the ground. I got back from a ~420 mile drive Thursday night and parked the car in the driveway. Friday morning I moved the car so the wife could get in and that slick was fresh. It doesn't leak this bad all the time, but it seems to leak a bunch immediately after a...

    At what point are problems with a new-to-me vehicle not the dealership's?

    I bought a 2001 Saturn SL. Love the car. Not luxurious, but getting 35-40 mpg is nice. I took delivery about April 1. Before I bought it, some work was done to the car at their service center. They added cruise, changed valve cover, timing cover, oil pan gaskets, and replaced the muffler strap...

    Planning a trip to the Washington DC need advice

    I'll keep this brief since I'm on my phone. Stay near the metro. You can get almost anywhere if you don't mind some walking. You CAN get to the udvar hazy center by public transit. I think I took the bus from crystal city to Dulles, then another to the hangar. $6 round trip iirc. I'd recommend...

    Experience with Saturn SL1 or 2?

    I actually just noticed an 01 SL1 with the manual trans in town here. Probably head down there later today and take a look.

    Experience with Saturn SL1 or 2?

    The one I'm thinking about right now is an '02 SL1 with the auto tranny. I'd prefer an 02 SL2 with manual trans, but my job is going to make it difficult to travel a long distance to find one.

    Experience with Saturn SL1 or 2?

    Believe me. I ran the numbers. The SL is definitely cheaper AND the Escape is on the verge of nickle and diming us. The best I've ever gotten in that thing is like 22, during the summer, with a tail wind. It's got 150k on it now and I'd really not like to rely on it to get to work every day...

    Experience with Saturn SL1 or 2?

    My commute is 42 miles each way and I'm currently driving a V6 Ford Escape. 18 mpg is killing us right now with gas at $3.69 here. It turns out I can partially finance a Saturn SL1/2 and it will still be cheaper than the fuel for my Escape. (I think we're actually going to pay cash now. No...

    ATOT: Lend my your bathroom-remodeling/real-estate ears!

    So we've been discussing this a bit in the past 24 hours. I realize that I'm wrong on the shower thing if we want to keep our pool of potential buyers as high as possible. We're also looking at what will provide the most ROI but also be nice for us in the next 5-7 years. So here's the question...

    Also, I forgot to mention that we have a fucking WINDOW in our shower....and I'm pretty sure it's an original. AND The corners of the cheap 5-piece surround were installed upside-down....which is fine, except that that's where the shelves are......in the corners....

    ATOT: Lend my your bathroom-remodeling/real-estate ears!

    This I hadn't thought of. I say "office" because it's where my computer, brewing stuff, music instruments, etc are stored. I guess that it IS a bedroom, though. It has two windows and a closet. I've never thought of it that way because it's so awkwardly-sized, but it technically is, I suppose...

    ATOT: Lend my your bathroom-remodeling/real-estate ears!

    First, we live in a 1920s Cape Cod house. It's perfect for a starter house, has some decent updates, and the price was right. We payed just over $100k for it. We just built a new, detached garage. We have one full bathroom on the main level. We are stubbed in for a toilet downstairs, and I'm...
