Stay tuned today for more news direct from FOX, Joe Rogan, Rush Limbaugh (from the grave) and That Former Guy in the White House. "Breaking news!" "This just in!"

I love this stuff. OK. I've gotten all 3 shots. I'm still alive. I know of three close acquaintances that have lost their lives over the past couple of years due to COVID, and their possible other afflictions. I know of at least 5 others that have had severe problems. Two kids up the street...

Walmart will have a wide selection of electric kettles. Currently I'm using a CHEFMAN brand, this was purchased for an elderly neighbor but turned out to be to big (i.e. heavy) for her. I swapped it with the smaller one we had been using for a few years now, lighter in weight, less capacity. I...

Judging from the pics this is indeed a DIY dream. Flex connectors everywhere. And that you may have gotten 20 years out of a water heater is a bonus. If I were you I'd go a bit overboard and replace all the connections, minor cost to ensure a correct install. And lots of bubble water....take...

Well, that seems cleaned up a bit?

Greetings all. I have a 66 year old ranch with a Florida Room attached. Unheated, 3 season. We've owned the house for 30 years, with just one previous owner prior. Jealousy windows, 17 out of 18 cranks operational. Overall excellent condition. The screens I believe are original to the build...

I've got the HF 26 In. X 22 In. Single Bank Roller Cabinet paired with the HF 26 In. Single Bank Top Chest, cost was under $500 at the time for the pair. Have had them for at least a couple of years, and they get used quite often. Much weight is contained with tools etc, and it's located in an...

That's what got your brain firing on all cylinders? Not everything else that's been going on in this thread? Before I open the forum I always make myself a big batch of popcorn. True entertainment.

My reply was just a lighthearted attempt at humor. As for Titicaca, well, that's just a crag of lead.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Beavis or Butthead were even born at the time the word was coined. But again, I could be wrong. I usually am. First recorded in 1400–50; late Middle English bunge “bung, bunghole,” from Middle Dutch bong(h)e “stopper”

I gutted my kitchen and bathroom while wearing OSHA approved flip flops. And lived.

And one more thing.... If the barrels are translucent you'll get algae. You need to decide if that's good or bad for you. I painted my translucent barrels with two coats of Kilz oil based primer, the 2 coats of latex the color of the house. These barrels are on the front of the house...

I replied earlier when I had to get out of the house quick, didn't give all the info. Bulkheads: I got them off of Amazon, not much $$$. Installing, even in a closed barrel, is a cinch. Spigots: The bulkhead "output" has inside and outside threads. I recommend going with a spigot that uses...

Seems to be going around....

No need to cut, just drill. I just converted 4 barrels, just like yours. Might be a bit more than the $20 target you're looking for, but not by much.
