RE: A rental tool can be available and still be a bad fit
- Along with the usable hours, compare how each store bills at the return time you can realistically make: hourly charges, fixed blocks, and another block for a late return can turn the lower advertised rate into the hig...
RE: Lighting up the backyard fence: solar, wired, or something else?
Couldn’t agree more with that. I’ve actually retrofitted a few fences for clients who got fed up with solar - the batteries always seem to give out right after the warranty’s up. Running low-voltage wire isn’t as intimid...

RE: finally got our storm shelter checked out and passed with flying colors
Title: Finally Got Our Storm Shelter Checked Out and Passed With Flying Colors Yeah, those magnetic kits are kind of a mixed bag on old windows. Here’s what I’ve run into over the years: - If your frames are out of squ...
