I went to look for some oil based paint, and seems no one here has any. One guy I talked to, said they've been out for a long time. I've heard that the gooberment wants to phase out oil based paints. It's just not green enough for people that have no idea about paints. Could it be true?????

I got one of those laser temp guns, and have been checking the temp around the house. Normal temp is around 85' wall and ceiling. On really hot days it's 98' on the sun facing wall, and over 100' at the ceiling. I can feel the heat coming from the ceiling. Kind of like a broiler in the house. We...

Not sure if that's what it's called. I have a beam over the garage. 20 feet long It was extended a while ago be adding a beam under it. It was sagging, so we put a post in the center of the span. The post has to go. It's always in the way. Friend said he has added 3/4 ply to both sides of beams...

I got a washer that was suppose to be working. It didn't. No wash cycle. This is one of those cheap looking basic computer controlled washers. They come in different brands, but all looks almost the same. It's the one with the row of six lights that tell the stages of the cycle. The problem is...

The other day, a friend brought me a costco pepperoni pizza. They stopped selling combo because it has veggies on it. How stupid is that. I always put the box on the stove to cut. We have burner covers. I burned my finger on the back left burner. The dial was off and the light was not on. Got...

I am looking for a small, high torque, gear motor. The one I'm having trouble with is made by Hankscraft Motors Inc. Model 3440. 3v DC, 100rpm to 113rpm. I've searched the net, and it seems Hankscraft has been bought out by china. They only deal with larger bulk orders. I was hoping someone...
