    Rod, I went induction for cooking after we moved into this house three years ago. I had a higher end Thermador gas range at the prior property and as great as that was, would not go back to gas after...

    If something made commercially has value to you, buy it. If it doesn’t have value to you, don’t buy it and use whatever method works well for you. These are personal choices. And I thank Malcolm for...

    You may find that the sulphurous odor is generated by a bacteria in the water supply. Changing parts in your water heater isn't going to solve the root issue. The sulphur producing bacterial are not...

    Yea, it was, both for the house and the shop. While power tools were certainly part of the process, as they are at Nakashima Studios, there was clearly a focus on traditional joinery as well as...

    I actually don't know as it had a cover over it and I felt uncomfortable dragging the ladder over to that side to check it out. I suspect it was some kind of statue/carving which he clearly was into...

    If you need serious "leaf blowing", go with one of the new green brands like EGO. There are other excellent outdoor tools that use the same batteries. If your needs are more incidental, go with...

    You might be able to use shorter "lifting straps" with your existing winch to do the deed in the same way as with just heavy ratchet straps.

    The cleanup went surprisingly easy...I created the "world's largest shop vac" and sucked it all up. :) :D The hose wouldn't reach on it's own and I had a spare 5' piece of 4" quick connect duct....
