We had moles everywhere in our yard which covers close to three acres. We bought the house a couple years ago. I tried a few things with no luck and then used the Tomcat worms. They work, but a...

Good timing on the thread, I did a similar oops making a potato/onion/garlic bin. I prefinished much of it and forgot about attaching the base trim. I've been researching and saw some suggestions...
Thanks Jim, and good idea on non-curly scraps. I did pick up another board (non-curly) just in case I was short. I ended up with two cut-offs about 5x7, pretty good use of what I had. I'll...
I'm making a potato/onion/garlic bin that will reside in our kitchen. I wanted a light wood to match the golden oak cabinets. I went to my preferred lumber supplier and saw some maple that I...
I have a number of LN planes. The No 8 is about 1/4 inch taller than my No 62 and about 1/2 inch taller than my No 4 1/2. All are the same width.
Roger, thanks for the info. What you said makes absolute since, I just didn't think about it to balance a tint on wood. I thought about it and this seems like something I would have to experiment...
I'm making a base for a hand painted ceramic table top we bought in Italy. I suggested making it out of cherry (since I like working with it) or using some of my supply of red oak. I want to stain...
I'm from southern Ohio and it was always pop. I'll second the comment about being in the military and meeting people from all over, most said pop.
My all time favorite was from my first...
Thanks everyone, you guys are awesome. I told my son there is always at least one person on this forum that can answer pretty much any question.
I don't think it came through in the picture,...
Good evening all. My son is trying to id this plant with no luck so far. He got it when he was little (he's 18 now) and would like to transplant it. He wants to know what he should do depending on...
I enjoy restoring braces and hand drills. They really aren't hard to take apart. Attached are a few of my braces and a pic of a MF 10 inch taken apart. The hardest part is taking the pins out of...
I had one with a similar problem. The 3in1 didn't help. I used some higher grit silicon carbide sandpaper. It's thinner, so you can work in between the handle and the collar. May take a minute,...
We bought a new house last year and I finally got around to working on the deck. It's a pretty large deck and it has an underdeck awning system. I replaced numerous boards and it's ready to...
Just a follow-up. A few comments about city sewer, this is a septic tank. The system is called Advantex by Orenco. They were used around bodies of water (we have a lake in front of the house and...
After two hours of sponging water (mostly water anyway) at the drain in the utility room I decided to check the septic tank. It was full and not working. Turns out the breaker was tripped. We had...
Thanks, I wasn't sure about using Roto-Rooter. Looked up their reviews by me and all great. They will be out within 4 hrs. I would normally try this myself, but always leery of water leaking in...
My wife informed she started hearing the noise a week or so ago. Would the vent pipe effect others or just the lowest point? Where would it be vented, near the sump or some other random place?
One of our toilets is not draining right. It fills with water and then drains down fast enough for it to swirl, but not really enough to pull a piece of toilet paper. I tried a plunger with no...
Thanks all. I assumed standing would be better, but it makes sense after thinking about it more to sit.
My daughter (11 yrs old) is my woodworking buddy. Among other things she got into cutting out shapes with a coping saw. So what do you buy your daughter for x-mas? A Wen scroll saw of course. ...
This is the second time I noticed it leaking. We had a lot of rain the other day, but not a crazy amount. My fear is it's leaking whenever it rains, but not enough to visibly leak above the window.
We bought a new (built in 2002) house last Apr. During a really bad rain last year (9+ inches) a window in the basement that's under the deck sprung a leak. The walk-out area under the deck was...
We are going with a Briggs and Stratton 20k. We had a Generac at our last house and it worked well. From my research I found B&S uses better components (copper vs aluminum for instance). The...
We're in the process of installing one. We just put in a new propane tank to feed it. Generator will be installed in a couple weeks. We've lived in a number of places (Air Force moves) with a...
Thanks for the input. First of all, I have an open 30 amp circuit located where the garage unit would go and the sunroom already has a 20 amp for the existing PTAC unit, so power is not an issue. ...
