The saw motor usually hangs down too far. Most wet saws are meant to cut tile which is thin. I've never seen a wet brick saw, but I imagine they exist. I use a wet saw when I do paver work because I have one for tile work. Most companies I've seen lay pavers use a gas powered 14" dry saw. It's a...

Double post.

You're nuts if you think you're going to cut pavers into some pattern. They're 4" thick and made out of concrete. Even if you had a 10" wet saw, you'd have to make a cut, flip the brick over and make a second pass. It makes a muddy mess just cutting what you need for edging. If you're dry...

The neat thing about pavers vs. concrete, stamped or otherwise, is that the finished slab won't crack. Don't skip the sand. That's how you get a level finished slab. Your excavation will never be smooth and level, but put two inches of sand down on top of the lumpy dirt, screed it with a long...

I don't know about Oregon, but here in AZ setting bricks (pavers) for a backyard is very common. You do it like you described. Most pavers are about 4" so excavate about 6", tamp and lay 2" of sand. Screed the sand to the level of your concrete patio and slope it away at the same time so water...

These are the blades I've been using for the past year or so. Crystals/Isreali Personna I shave everyday and I'll get 5 or 6 very smooth shaves from each blade. I don't use canned foam, but instead whip up a bowl of something every morning and I think that makes a difference. The canned...

Thanks, guys. I'm 1000 miles and 5 days from home, so I'll see what happens when I get back.

I just moved and my new cable provider is Cable One. They are supposed to give me 50 Mbps, but using speedtest.net, the best I've seen is around 40. 90% of the time it's 20 or less and very often, it's under 5. It's just me online using their supplied all-in-one modem/wireless router, and I'm...

Not a waste of money. Find out who among you thinks it's OK to spit on a wall and fire that pig.

What is the output of a small HD antenna? Is it HDMI or RG6 coax? TIA

I just found this site: http://www.couchtuner.eu/ Using IE and ADBlocker plus, it seems to work well on the three or four different shows I tried. I suppose with a Chromecast, I could get these to my TV without running an HDMI cable, but I know next to nothing about Chromecast for Firesticks.

You can certainly buy a non hardening caulk that you can remove later, maybe something like a rope caulk that you can roll between your hands like playdoh and then open the window and close it against a bead of that stuff or just push it into the cracks and gaps. Then consider something like...

^ Correct. Whether you spend $600 or $30, if it plugs into a wall outlet, it's going to be 1500 watts max and put out around 5200 BTU. You will spend more for features and aesthetics. I have one in my master that is about 4" thick, hangs on the wall and sorta looks like a log fire. It uses no...

I've tried watching that twice now and it freezes 6 min in and if I fast forward past that point I get a black screen with dialog. OH, well This History of Future Folk is a very enjoyable movie with good tunes.

Yup. Get a quote for tying your house to the gas line. In my neighborhood, if you had 3 NG appliances, they would hook you up to a meter on the side of your house. The rest was up to you, but a lot of that work is easy for an experienced plumber. Unfortunately for me, NG stops 2 blocks away so...

I'm guessing that AC system you installed is really a heat pump. Run it one direction, it's an AC. Run the other direction, it creates heat. I'm also assuming a heat pump is news to you. If not, ignore this, but there are a couple of points to know about heat pumps. 1) Don't turn them on and...

Put a couple of tablespoons of olive/cooking oil down the drain after you fill the trap with water the next time. It will float on the water and prevent evaporation.

This was Marsh. Best cat ever.

Does that thing come with an Apple OS? I need an iPad, but I want it cheap. edit:Never mind. More research told me it won't run IOS.

Squeal Like a Pig A pig brothel?

Any updates on how this thing is working for you?

RIP Joe.

There's a great 4 part series on Netfix about Ian Fleming/James Bond http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2647420/

Why don't you buy a TV you can afford and gift it to your BIL for his generous hospitality?

OK, I'm retarded. I can't figure out how to net somebody. I click the little star icon at the bottom of the post but nothing happens. So what I want for Netmas is some help. Edit:Got it-Thanks

I had one in a Ford Focus. It was a Code Alarm brand installed before I bought the car. I really liked the remote start aspect on cold mornings provided I set the HVAC controls properly the night before. But the alarm part of the system sucked. It didn't play well with the dimming dome light and...

Using regular Clorox bleach, and a lot of it, is how the manual says to do the monthly "Clean" cycle on our Kenmore front loader. Maybe different brands have different specs. I dunno.i

I bought a Toastmaster toaster at an Estate Sale a few years ago. It's a Toastmaster from the early 60s, a time when 'Made in the USA' meant it was the very best quality. We were just starting to import things like radios from Japan and their quality was suspect. Nothing was coming from China...

But you can make it larger

Is he licensed? If yes, you can get in touch with the State License Board. They'll straighten him out.

Ventless is easiest, you probably know, but they have some sophisticated electronics in them to keep them from killing you and those components are built in China by the lowest bidder. I wouldn't install one.

OK, I'm done with this thread.

That's Jack's sister. Family has money.

Nah, it's not just you. I see it on every forum I frequent. That's why I think it might be some auto-complete feature or something similar. It grates. I love English.

This grammar error rustles my jimmies. I don't know if it's some feature of the device people are using to post with or laziness or some new edgy way to write, but is it so fucking hard to add the two little words "to be" to the sentence? There, I said it. I feel a little better and I hope...

I'll never buy a used car again.
