Have you noticed that lies sell much quicker and last longer than the truth? Snake oil and suckers have been around forever and the only difference now is that the suckers can find other suckers to pass on those lies much quicker! Religion, politics or sales, the snake oil story is the...

It may be a store issue each place or possibly changing? What I met was no account, no deal and to set up an account, I had to go through the office and be billed. No walk in with cash! So I really needed what they had as it was somewhat special, air handler filter media, and to get it I had...

Depends on what is on the glass and if the numbers are painted. I might try starting with soakingit in vinegar as away to cut the hard water deposits and it may do some good on algea to kill it. Once dead and dried, it may peel off better than expected. Being a light acid, I use it alot on...

How does it go in your area on Grainger? Are they now more open to walk in or is it hard for the general public to deal? When in business I had an account and they never questioned any deal but once retired they did not want my business? Now they do seem to be my last choice for pricing being...

Depending on type, there will be some form of springs, etc. to hold the barrel centered while spinning but also let it move a bit. If it was fixed solid, the whole washer would tend to move and slide as the off centered weight is thrown about. So some looking at what holds the barrel and what...

A little extra if needed? The small compressor hasplenty of pressure, just thestorage of that compressed air is not enough to let it blow long enough to clear the lines. The motor has to cycle too much, too often to keep the pressure up. The CFM rating ishowquickly the small compressor can...

To see the vast number of things tested in the US, look for the Consumer Confidense Report (CCR) for the company or group who supplies your water. This is assuming your are not on a private well where you need to have the testing done. I think that Canadamostlikely has a very near same...

Little mistakes are totally human and no big deal as it cost you very little! The last time I had a "transformer" of unknown/unlabeled type, I thought I wanted to test the output. The last of my meter looked like a glowing volcano with the center adjustment glowing bright red and then a large...

Barefoot to boots and change as needed for the weather and what I'm walking in! We have relatives whodo not allow outside to follow them inside as part of their religion, so we adapt when they are here or we visit them. Their beliefs make so much more sense than what we grew up with that I...

Lots of different transformers out there so getting the correct one is vital but then I mi8ght question what you have?? Are you sure you are wanting DC out? Normally that isnotcalled atransformerbut a powersupply as itchangesfrom ACin to DC out. A transformer doesn't change the output, so...

This is going to be one of those places where personal choice is big! I have a fireplace but building a fire in Texas just seems pretty silly, so we wanted to seal it for insulation. It was just a gale blowing through the room, even with the damper closed! We went simple with cutting foam...

I have used air and will not recommend them as the hose is something of a problem to get where needed, but the real hangup for me is that I often want to tilt or turn the gun slightly different to get around corners or spots and that hose hanging on really makes it hard to move along a line...

I might question why the most common solution of insulation is ruled out? I would think a combo of more insulation to seperate the room from the outside and then more airflow above the insulation would be a good way to go. When we first moved to Central Texas, the first thing we upgraded was...

The mention of leaking after the drain valve is opened is a frequent item but it also has a very cheap and easy fix. If there is a leak and you do decide it is not what you want, this cap is easy to screw on the drain...

Maybe time to look into stamped floors? On new pours they can add a pattern and that pattern might make the dogs more comfortable?
