I have a couple outdoor ceiling fans on my deck. I put them up several years back and haven't had much problem with them https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2739332356102778&id=100000781212963 Took the blades off for the winter. Just recently I had some deck repair done to an upper...

I picked up one in a pawn shop for cheap. I was thinking it would look good on my deck with some candles in it, until they explained what it was. now I'm wondering about having it in the house, but have some questions. would there be much heat, or is it just for decoration? I'm thinking a...

thanks, both of these seem like they could work. I'm think I'm going to try the sprinkler piece I have since I already have it, but the watering can head may be my next try if it doesn't work out. the home depot piece is what I have now, that I'm thinking won't flow enough just by gravity. I...

I've been fooling with rain harvesting the last few years and have a few extra containers. I want to play with an outdoor shower next. I have the container (55gal plastic drum) finishing up the stand to hold it above the shower and about have the fittings to collect the water, but having some...

an eye bolt was the original idea, but i looked in the scrap metal box at work and saw the shaft, so i went with it. to make a short story long, it's an idea from last spring/summer that just came back to me after needing to leave a bike in my outdoor parking spot for about a week. we were...

just an idea i've had for a while. i have a 3/4" piece of axel shaft bent into a candy cane shape with a couple of smaller pieces welded to it. i mean to put in in the ground by my back door to lock my motorcycle up when i don't feel like putting it in the garage and/or i know i'll be right back...

thanks. I don't know why I didn't think of you tube.

thanks. there's already concrete there. i think from where the a past owner had a lot of pool equipment. it's part of why it seemed like a good spot. i can weld a little, but not aluminum (i can do a little mig and flux wire). since i posted i did find one or two things others have done. maybe...

here in the next few months i mean to pick up a decent backup generator. i've been looking at my house and thinking i have a good place to use it. under the deck (about 4' high) and not too far from the back door, but i think far enough away to not worry about fumes. i'm thinking it would also...

:rofl: try to stay focused y'all. the threads about stove faucets. not hot dogs.

i don't really cook hot dogs that often. i was just giving a level of my culinary skills, in relation to having a fancy cooking faucet. thank's all. i think i'll let the idea fester some. at least up to the point i'm actually onto the other work that needs doing. that was one of the...

let me say i'm not a chef. the most i'd probaly get out of it is making it easier to boil hotdogs. anyway. i need to do some work in my bathroom. depending on what i do and how, i'll be able to add one while i do the work (or have it done more likely). if you were able to look through my...

thanks for the replies. i think i'm gonna do it. i'm working on clearing out the space for it and making a size decision.

not really an appliance problem as much as meddling in other households. i'm thinking about buying a smallish apartment size 2nd refrigerator/freezer to put in my mud room. part as extra freezer storage (the one i'm looking at has a separate freezer door), part because just out side the door...

i think there is on one side, but the deck turns a corner and then it looks more like what you decribed in the other thread (i almost asked both questions in one thread. guess i should have). it's a 2x4 bolted somewhere to the inside of the garage. i can't see them on the inside, but the head of...
