    Ford Recalling Super Duty Pickups, Issues 'Do Not Drive' Warning for Brakes That Can Suddenly Fail

    Well, My 2012 7.3 dually is paid for Fairfax Va. property taxes on it dropped to $0 after it turned 20.

    Shipping containers need their sides to be covered with 6" or more of concrete and rebar to discourage those with a good angle grinder and cutting wheels.

    That's about what I paid for my 660's and 880, all three slightly used and bought from 2009-?2014?.

    new saw

    And OILERS are EPA problems. I had to upgrade my oilers on both my 660's to get a decent amount of oil output.

    Good morning!!!!

    Especially if it's done frequently (more than once a year) on thinning hair. I'll slightly disagree with that statement. It makes finding ticks and chiggers much easier. I think one of my last barbershop haircuts was for my daughters wedding about 5 or 6 years ago. About 2005 I got in the...

    Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

    on the subject of knee pads: I've always had problems kneeling on concrete, gravel etc, when wearing shorts. And in Mississippi it can be shorts weather year around. So I favor knee pads.

    Can anyone recommend a WiFi thermostat for a small house on a heat pump?

    My thoughts also, that's why I was waiting to get reliable internet and vendor. Before the internet wasn't reliable, now it is pretty good. Before I was going to get a Honeywell, now it looks like I would have to rely on a "spin off".

    Hardie Board Siding?

I just attached 15lb roofing felt to the studs then screwed hardie panels to the studs. No plywood base. This...

    Removing gasket cement from inside of toilet tank - how?

    Because the toilet is a Toto elongated. IF a little spray of brake cleaner, or ether, or vinegar or something else would do it it would be a lot cheaper and easier. Apparently the TBN knowledge base hasn't kicked in yet.

    Removing gasket cement from inside of toilet tank - how?

    Yeah, that may be the next step. I just was trying to limit it to solvents, elbow grease and copper pads. Power tools raise the possibility of porcelain breakage.

    Removing gasket cement from inside of toilet tank - how?

    The only advantage of a replacement tank would be it's clean. If I find a solvent that would work it should be quick. I don't need to spend $480 for planters, I could use it to buy tractor parts.
