    You sure about that? Many motors have overloads that are entirely internal and you can't see them from outside the motor. The kind of motors that are permitted to not OL protection are low power, low...

    Nothing wrong with just laying them out flat to air dry. The water bucket works, but is messy. As long as the oil has finished polymerizing, the fire danger is gone. That will happen quite quickly if...

    I just used some left over sanded tile grout to fill some control joints and it make a very smooth joint. 15 years later and is is still as solid as when I did the grouting.

    Just curious, is there an electrician certification in the US whereby they can only work on single phase. In Canada there isn't and I can't imaging there being one in the US either.

    This is yet another compromise that you just have to live with if you choose a jobsite saw. They are purpose built to provide an easy to relocate format, as in moving it from jobsite to jobsite. Just...

    I have seen a cord reel that had melted down to a blob of copper and blackened plastic. That's what happens when you run a substantial load on coiled up cord. I wouldn't use a cord reel unless it had...

    I've used silicone 'removers' in the past and it's a frustrating experience. My understanding is that rather than dissolve the silicone, they break down the bond between the silicone and substrate....

    Legendary bikes for sure. I had a TX500 4 stroke that was based on the RD 350 chassis and it was a wonderful ride. Many great memories.

    Good point about accessibility space. You can't do blown in if the poor installer can't even get up there. I should have mentioned that my roof is only 6:12, which isn't terribly steep on the...
