    Lots of variables, including the age of the house.

    My basement was finished by the prior owner. No problems with insurance or taxes.

    The kids who you describe almost certainly spent multiple years working, they just did so for free. Instead of being paid for their entry level work, they probably started as “volunteers” in high...

    Would not matter. People used to be offended when George Wilson gave them advice.

    It is just a feature of the internet.

    The internet tells me “cleritas” is the Latin word for “swift” and at some point the abbreviation c began to be used by physicists to represent the speed of light.

    I agree with the C&O. Great falls park is great too. The Maryland side I think has restored a couple of locks so you can see how they work.

    I was doing some looking just over coffee, and see the Smithsonian has an arts and industries museum, which I am sure has some neat stuff.

    Then I was wondering how it is possible that I have never...

    Not a lot of woodworking comes to mind. We have PATINA (Potomac Antique Tools and Industries Association) but unfortunately the next meeting is not until mid-March.

    Williamsburg has a lot of neat...

    I guess I don’t know how they would stay in business if that is the only thing they do and they do it worse than everyone else.

    The kind we got has a layer of cork on the back, the some kind of...

    The cutter is not black sort of a speckled gray. I guess the way I wrote that it sounded like they are both black.

    The box the gray one is in says it is a “hard Arkansas.” I got it from Dan’s.

    It is usually worth listening to Warren.

    I have a "black" which basically just polishes in my experience, and another one that raises a bur in just a few strokes. I can't remember what they sold...

    I would go to a flooring store. We looked at HD and Lowe’s, and the flooring place had better selection and pricing.

    Don't worry if you lose a few bearings. They can run fine without the full load. If they are corroded, you might want to replace them anyway.

    Last time I did one I got replacements for a couple...

    On my millers falls braces, they are threaded. You remove the screws, and then unscrew.

    This has been around a while, but it still pretty much on the mark.

    I grew up wearing the insulated carhart coveralls, but I would not think they would be better than the overalls for someone with bad shoulders.

    A really good option if you are active outside (not...

    It is not that a check can be denied after clearing, it is that clearing does not mean what many people think it does.

    Banks pretty much universally offer you an advance credit that posts to your...

    We have a new top loading Maytag. The did does lock. I assume I could disable that if I wanted to, but I have not cared enough to figure it out.

    The "clothes are not getting wet" problem may not...

    If you are looking to rip 4/4 or 8/4 stock, pretty much any old 5 tpi ripsaw will do. I have a D-8 with the thumbhole, but rarely use it because an old no-name I refiled as a rip works so well.

    I...

    He was sentenced to more than eight months on the drug charge. The time he spent pretrial for the charge he was acquitted on was applied to that (longer) sentence.

    Not entirely clear what danger I need to avoid. It sounds like they sold you tools you wanted at a price you agreed to pay?

    A can of johnson floor wax will prevent the rust and last forever.

    Where are you located? When I started fooling with these things, an afternoon in a shop with a guy who knew what he was doing taught me more than I figured out on my own in a week.

    Because if somebody is polishing to 16k, an extra ten seconds to dip a knife blade in soapy water is just too much trouble.

    I guess my mileage does vary.
