The concrete is about a year old, and as far as the type of Liquid Nails, I’ve already pitched the tube, but it was a blue tube marked “Heavy Duty” and it did say “Concrete” on the tube... I bought it at Lowe’s so it shouldn’t be out of date, I would think.... Anyway I resolved the issue by...

My wife wanted me to build some decorative planter boxes along the front entrance... I used some Pressure Treated 2x4 for the base, and used Liquid Nails compound to secure the 2x4 to the concrete. I got called away for a couple days, and when I came back, I found the 2x4’s were not attached to...

I’ve ask this a couple times on other sites, and never got an answer, maybe someone here knows... What voltage do these Charging Station deliver? 24V DC?... 48 V DC.... 110V AC? You see these photos (Doctored?) of EV’s using a gasoline powered generator with an extension cord plugged into the...

I know code called for Gas Hot Water tanks to be mounted18 inches or so above floor level in case of a gas leak... but does the same go for Electric Hot Water Tanks?

A picture is worth a million words

Golly guys, that was a hard post to follow... still not sure exactly what transpired, but glad you found the problem

Thanks Steve, very much appreciate your advice... one question, I’m a rank amateur when it comes to this stuff... what does “re-point the joint” mean?

The wall is about 6 foot I believe, don’t know about the footer, although I’m sure it has to have one wouldn’t it? As for bowing inward, I’ll have to make a trip to check that out, I don’t live in the same city as the home...

I inherited a 75 year old home with concrete block walls on three perimeter sides... in three places, the earth has settled and the walls have a full penetration zig-zag crack running top to bottom. Unfortunately I only have access to my side of the wall. My question is, can I use a two part...

not saying to do it, but you can buy every type of “Tamper Seals “ on eBay... cut theirs, do what you need to do and replace... as long as it’s the same style seal, they have no idea.

I found it, it’s called a “SHARKBITE SHUTOFF VALVE... thanks for your post, you’ve solved a nagging problem I’ve had for the last couple of weeks now

Hamburg, I’ve been looking for something like this for another project.... I googled “Sharkbite tee” but did not find this exact style... lots of common Tee’s but not this one with the shutoff valves... you have any more information on this actual device?... thanks

One final thought, please, after you fine the problem, come back and let us know what it was... we all are interested in the solution or we wouldn’t be here.

Question... was it running fine before the problem surfaced? If so then the wiring is fine... IMHO just replace both caps, and you should be fine... in my experience if one goes south, the other is not far behind. Good luck BTW... how’s the oil in the compressor? In the sight glass or on the...

I don’t usually shop at Home Depot, too far away, but yesterday, I happened to be close to one, so I stopped in to pick up some electrical items to run a dedicated circuit for a new Lathe I just purchased... got to checkout, and ask for the Military discount. “Sorry, Electrical is not...

I’m installing a new 36x80 prehung door in my sons garage, unfortunately the floor is NOT level... over the 36 inch length one end is 3/8 lower. The door has an aluminum threshold that I want to support it’s full length... any suggestions for shimming? The aluminum is rather lightweight and...

l would rather see the smaller sized workshops, than the 100 X 100 footers... see how others have handled the limited space issue...

Good morning, I’m building a workshop, and want to add a couple “Windows” for natural light... here’s the kicker, I live on the 16th Tee of a golf course so glass is out of the question. Plexiglass or Lexan... Acrylic or Polycarbonate... what’s the consensus?... and why?

EDDIE_T... You must not live where it freezes in the winter...

Zannej... if you live anywhere within a 200 mile radius of Southern Nevada, I would love to take a road trip ( even with these gas prices) and see this setup. I’m only an Mechanical Engineer, but have done my share of plumbing repairs and even whole house replacement... I’ve been trying to...
