Get a Rivian. Road Test

This is the "truth" for people my age and younger. If I was 10 years older, I would understand why Elvis was such a big deal but I grew up in the 60s and Elvis was a 50s phenom. I enjoyed the movie. I like Tom Hanks and he played Parker with just enough creepiness and the actor that played...

Exactly. I just paid $5000 to get my house painted not because I didn’t know how, but because I knew if I fell off a ladder I might never heal.

That would have been Wanda. Thanks for the photos.

I bought the Orbit several years ago and it has always worked well and because they keep improving the app, it works even better. When I was selling these things, the biggest problem people had with them was they were installing them where their wifi signal was weak. Usually this was in the...

We’re the Hekawi!

South Carolina man missing for two months was killed by falling into factory shredder, coroner says Fuck. I hope it was quick.

Harbor Freight Chain Saw Sharpener

Derp. Yes it is. The sideways picture threw me.

It looks like a hammer arrestor but why you would have one for a vanity sink is a mystery to me.

I used to hang out with some very old codgers who as kids, rode horses to school. This was in very rural Arizona. The youngsters like myself thought that this was the coolest thing but every one of them grew up hating horses because each had a friend growing up that was maimed or killed by a horse.

Saw this today and enjoyed it.

Saw this today at the theater. Preachin’ to the choir, but I enjoyed it.

A transition piece isn’t necessarily needed when transitioning from carpet to tile if the job was properly planned but it’s clear that’s not the case here. Regardless of whether you use an extra piece or not, the transition should have taken place under the door not in front of it.

Boondocking in Utah.

Are you confusing a prostate exam with a colonoscopy? Also, I’ve had the finger up the butt exam exactly once many years ago. Since then, it’s all part of the annual blood test called the PSA.

I think it's a great idea. It's something you can take from house to house and always remember when you made it and how old it is. The smaller the better so that you'll always have a place for it.

I don't know what's available, either but if I couldn't find what I wanted/needed I'd build one out of thick (5/8 or 3/4 plywood and fiberglass. One sheet of plywood, one quart of resin with hardener, a small package of mat, Harbor Freight $18 hole saw set and some screws should be enough to do...

Don't remove drywall like that with a hammer. You're going to need a clean edge to put it back together anyway so you might as well make a clean, thought-out cut to start with. Draw some a plumb/level lines on the wall and cut it with an oscillating tool. If you're practiced, you can saw with...

You shouldn’t.

I've been thinkin' that if you don't want to work with melamine, and I don't blame you, there are alternatives. Particle board is awful. I built a large litter box for a very large cat out of plywood, painted the outside to match the room it's in and brushed on 4 coats of water-based...

Kreg Pocket Hole Jig I would buy a pretty basic version if this project is all you think you'll be doing.

Be aware that carpet is the least slippery of all the choices for stair covering. Also, the bullnose for laminate/luxury vinyl flooring is really expensive especially if there is a lot of waste due to the width of the stairs.

Saw this today and enjoyed it. It’s nothing serious, just fun and sometimes pretty funny. Sandra Bullock checks all the right boxes for me. The audience seemed to enjoy it, also.

Finshed the guest bath remodel Before After New tub, surround, floor countertop and sink. Took me 35 days but I'm old, slow and meticulous.

If all you broke is the ratchet handle and you’re happy with the sockets, go back to harbor freight and by a new one. Their composite handles are actually very nice. They feel good in your hand and they’re not cold in the winter.

BTDT Not sure I understand how that one works. It sounds like it's always on even if in a lower power mode. While it's on, it's pushing hot water back to the water heater through the cold water. I'd rather have a unit that runs on a timer.

It's a cat, not a dog.

I enjoyed it. How can Cate Blanchett be so sexy and so odd looking at the same time? Weird boner indeed.

Disclaimer:I don't know anything about chimneys. I googled "Metalbestos SS Chimney" and found this. LINK On page 3 I found this. Now they may be only referring to the attachment collar and not the pipe. Again, I don't know. I do know I'd be asking this question at a store that sells wood...

We're talking about one car here, the Bronco. People would be having to overpay for almost every car purchased for this scenario to come true. Is that happening out there?

Chasing down all those cracks is a fool's errand. Deal with the largest ones and consider elastomeric paint for the rest.

I think it depends on how much you pay for the stuff. I’ve seen it from $.98/sqft to around $7.0/sqft. and they don’t look anything alike.

Pex and poly handle freeze much better than copper or PVC. I don't know where you read that PEX doesn't handle cold, but PEX and poly will expand when water freezes within it and actually is less conductive than copper so less likely to freeze in the first place. In Idaho, the run from the meter...

This is close. Like you say, a little work with a grinder or file and you might get there LINK Search for "Trunk Hardware" for other choices.

Don't forget Lilies of the Field. He won Best Actor for that film. It's on Amazon Prime for free. Just watched it today for the first time since I watched it with my parents in the early 60s. It's a good watch. RIP, Sir.

An expansion tank and a hammer arrestor serve two different purposes. The expansion tank gives the expanding hot water room to expand because there is most likely a check valve on the city water supply to prevent you from back feeding and you can burst a rigid pipe or your water heater if the...

This might be the easiest way to install a hammer arrestor. LINK to Lowes It will just screw on between your bib and hose.
