    I haven't bought a pair of shoes that needed tying in years. Fuck that and I've got a shoe horn that's 18" long, too.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I live a mile or two from a lake/reservoir that you can boat and fish in. It's not the most interesting or scenic lake I've ever seen, but it's close by and large and it's fun to get out on the water when the days get hot. I have some kayaks and we've taken them out a couple of times but I...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    My dad met my mom in Italy at the end of the war. As much as I wanted to know about WWII, they never said a word to me about it. All I know is that he signed up days after Pearl Harbor and retired from the military 20 years later. My grandmother who came from Italy to live with us in the early...

    The Ladykillers (2004) ⭐ 6.2 | Comedy, Crime, Thriller 9/10 I'd forgotten how funny this movie until I watched again yesterday. It's a Coen bros. film and for reasons I don't understand, it doesn't get the respect it deserves. It's a dark comedy, but heavy on the comedy.

    I have the Orbit b-Hyve. Had it for about 4-5 years. Works well and the app is always being improved. Can't say it's better or worse than any other but when I was part-timing at Lowes and selling them, regardless of the brand, the biggest issue people had was installing them where the wifi...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yeah, because goin' out drinking on a backyard engineered bike with no mufflers, no speedometer and no turn signals (illegal everywhere I've ridden a motorcycle) is a great idea.

    I dropped my shaving bowl into the sink two weeks ago and broke it beyond repair. I'd been stirring up lather in that thing for years and years every day, because as we all know, a gentleman shaves every day. I had others that I was now using including a scuttle that keeps the lather warm but...

    Not exactly sure what it is they are selling but in my attic, I bought some very heavy-duty reinforced aluminum foil that I stapled to the rafters. It took a bunch of this foil to go from the attic floor to the attic peak and along the length of the roof. I did what I would consider a very good...

    The wire for that outlet was there and serviced an outlet that was on the other side of the bar I removed. It's handy for things like a bread machine or a mixer or whatever. I wanted it to pop up from the countertop, but the dishwasher is there and there wasn't enough room, so there it is.

    Those are called candelabra base bulbs and not chandelier bulbs. A quick search using the proper name yields lots of results for outdoor candelabra base bulbs. Don't know if they would work better for you or not. Good luck.

    If you watched Napoleon, you'll know what I mean when I say this is how that movie should have been made. In this flick, we see a period of 1-2 years of Enzo Ferrari's life (he lived to be 90) and explore one race out of hundreds. It's a great insight into the man's life, his passions, his...

    I was doing work on a new, expensive house, oh, probably 15 years ago where they had installed copper rain gutters. Not recessed, just hanging off the fascia. The very finicky HOA told the general contractor that the gutters were too shiny and to do something about it, quick. He told the gutter...

    If I had started with pretty wood cabinets I would agree with you. Although my cabinets were/are solid wood with medium quality hardware (glides and hinges), they were just ugly and plain. The had that cheap ass spray on stain. No pretty grain or figure in the wood at all. They might as well...

    You need a heated paint booth and an airless sprayer. I have a friend with both so he did the job for me. I had no place to set up a booth and it's also 35 degrees in my garage right now. All doors and drawer fronts are removed and go to a warm paint booth. The cabinets are painted in the house...

    We've always had them in every house we've owned. I don't understand them being "disease magnets" as porcelain is less porous than granite, marble or synthetic solid surfaces like corian. It's essentially glass. Grout lines need to be maintained and sealed, but so does a granite slab. As far...
