Home Improvement Today?

I had a Maytag (shit BTW) with a hard food disposer. It was nothing more than a blunt piece of stainless steel about the size and shape as a stick of gum. It was attached to the pump motor and spun continuously while the washer was running. It couldn't deal with anything bigger than a a pea, and lettuce would gum up the works and you had to remove all the covers to clean it out. That said, it was better than nothing, and once you learned what it could and couldn't do it did make things easier.

 

That’s all they all are. Marketing wank, and if you fill your dishwasher full of unwashed dishes, it’s going to wash like shit, die early, and have no warranty coverage.

 

Actually have that exact same model (different color though)!

We've always just done the default settings and it still takes 3 hours. But does get everything clean. Granted we pre wash all the big stuff off first.

Ill never buy a dishwasher without a third shelf again. Love that

 

Yeah that rack is nice! I ran it with all the settings just to see. Gotta put her through the paces!

 

So after losing basically 10 days to the snow and freezing temps we have all the rest of our formwork done for the rest of our foundation pours , scheduled to pump them tomorrow morning

Lots of little stuff but one fairly large retaining wall that will have a covered deck inside it and storage area at ground level

 

Here's the next installment of my house building project.

 

I've looked at these for quite a while. So lets say my garage is 20°, would it take the chill off while standing at the work bench? I would plan to mount it overhead, or a little more forward. I understand its a person warmer, not a garage heater. Second, how far away could you stand and it still be effective? For mounting height purposes.

 

I probably have that heater hanging at about 8 or 9 feet, it does seem to do a decent job, if you have it above your work bench then it should take the chill off.

 

you could get one of those radiant patio heaters that run off propane..

 

I do have one of those Buddy Propane Heaters that uses 2 of the 1 pound bottles, it works ok but I bet those patio heaters put out a good bit.

 

I use one of these in my shop when Im turning wood. I prob wouldnt use it during table saw operations due to the dust possibly catching fire.

 

That thing looks good, what kind of run time do you get out of a bottle?

 

Usually when its that cold I need it, I dont stay in the shop too long. but found this...

1 Burner Run Times:
20 lbs. cyclinder

• Low (20,000 BTU) - 43 Hours
• Medium (24,000 BTU) - 36 Hours
• High (30,000 BTU) - 29 Hours

2 Burner Run Times:

• Low (10,000 BTU) - 21.5 Hours
• Medium (24,000 BTU) - 18 Hours
• High (30,000 BTU) - 14 Hours

What do guys use to fill nail holes in trim?

I was using no-shrink caulk but I think that’s an oxymoron.
Its painted white trim. I would like something I don’t have to paint over. A lot of what I see is wood filler.

 

I had to rent a uhaul when we did our flooring

 

For about 400 square feet, and I'm only 2 miles from the flooring store.

 

I had probably close to 1700lbs of flooring in my truck when I did mine. It probably was more. I had some boxes stacked in the back seat. But I was determined to get it all to fit.

Truck handled the load like a champ. As long as I didn’t go over 55mph on the highway lol.

I was impressed.

 

Size constraint was my issue. It was almost three pallets worth.

 

I swear by this stuff. Virtually no shrinkage and it blends great with white trim. It used to be widely available, but I have to get it from Amazon now.
