Re: [DIY] Must Have Tool:

 

I like the blade better on this Bosh than on the one I have as the mounting screw and collar extends on mine so that it is not totally flush with my work like the Bosh is.  However I'd have to compare the price of replacement blades as well as these can get a little pricey.  It does everything they have shown and more and the control is fantastic.  My cousin bought a Fien when they first came out and paid over $500 but since they are made in Germany he has a heck of a time finding replacement blades and they are quite expensive.  I originally bought mine to cut a doggy door into a  new $500.00 storm door and have become more impressed with its capabilities every day.  I've seen the tool and a complete blade assortment on sale for under 70.00.  Kind of like ink jet printers, they know you will be back for more blades because you can't help using the little devil.  I don't know anything about the cordless models but mine would probably be eating up batteries at a pretty good clip.

Now that the patent has expired they have

Once you try one I'm sure it will become a

phenomenal.

Does anyone know if there a grease dissolver
that I can add to my septic treatment system to keep
grease from building up. I try to keep grease out of
the treatment plant but some how it keeps building
up. I have a filter installed on the septic side
before it gets to the water ditributor side to my
sprinklers but grease still gets through.

Re: [DIY] Radial Arm Saw Parts.

 

found one about 150 miles from here and it is identical to the 40+ year old Craftsman I have.  Looks like brand new as it was given to this individual by his father-in-law and had hardly been used.  Now comes the rub, which one will I want to adapt to a radial router.  I think the wife are going to take a little day trip and try to go up and have a look at it this coming week.

Re: [DIY] repair of old style masonite lap siding

 

Howdy Friends,
 
In reguards in Hardi plank siding it's true in the first few years of it's being used it proved very poor.  However, now the newer redeigned manufacturing it's very well built.  I just completed my mom's house which is a complete duplex of the same floor plan with it.  This was from the Hardi Plank company.  I called the company after locating them from the web and ask for both samples and all styles from them.  They gladly provided any and all the support they could and some that wasn't even thought about.
 
Just about any color design and finished style can be done.  This is just one of the companies that manufacture this cement based product.  For any other and any questions you have in reguard to this product just get on the web and type in "hardiboard" and you will come up with several companies.

Subject: [DIY] repair of old style masonite lap siding
 
Hello again,
The siding on my house and garage is the old style 12" lap siding, made of Masonite. Fifty plus years old.
The siding on my garage is being completely replaced, probably with hardie-board cement fiber stuff. My house has the same type of siding though. What do I do about repairing(replacing)siding on my house? I don't want to reside my entire house.
Apparently this stuff has been outlawed because of the poor quality of the product manufactured in the '90's. What are my choices for repair materials? I saw one fellow use the wood grain cement fiberboard, and turn the wood grain to the inside, which still left a sort of burlap finish on the outside. Does anyone make the cement stuff with a smooth finish? Can I use Masonite panels cut to size? Salvaged material maybe?
Does any one make this stuff anymore?
Thanks,
John S.

Re: [DIY] wall studs

 

Howdy Friends,
 
Yes you can repair the studs there.  With each individual stud cut it off at about the 12" for 8' studs new or 16" for 12' studs, either was you will still have the 2 needed  cripple studs for each single stud which will be needed.  Either was you buy your studs in 8'ers or 16'ers do get the pressurer treated for protectoin from water.  THIS only NEEDE TO BE DONE if you have dont have a pressurer treated footer at the seal plate area.

Subject: [DIY] wall studs
 
Hello,
I have a garage in bad shape. The siding is shot, the sill plate is bad in some areas, and some of the wall studs are bad on the bottom few inches. I can reside it, and I think I can support the rafters, with a beam & jacks, to take the weight off the wall in order to replace the sill plate (just a 2x4 was used). My question is: What is the acceptable way to repair the wall studs which are bad? Do I have to replace the whole stud?, or can I scab in new sections (about 12" long) at the bottoms? Is just nailing them in OK, or would screws be better? Do I need some kind of "connector" plates to graft on a new one foot section at the bottom of the stud, rather than going along side of it with a new piece?
Any advice?
Thanks,
John S.

Re: [DIY] septic treatment system

 

The only sure cure is a grease trap before the septic tank, but this too will occasionally need to be cleaned out, however it is usually a simple matter of removing the top and skimming the grease off the top of the fluid.  Do this on a real cold day and the grease will solidify after the top has been off for a while and then it will come put in chunks.

[DIY] Re: Automotive air filters

 

I owe everyone who responded a big thank you. You saved my butt again, not to mention, my wallet. For anyone asking, the filter was right behind the glove box. Both the glove box door and the glove box itself fold down toward the floor and the filter is right there, very easy to change. And a big finger to the dealership that tried to charge me $1$105 to do this .

To the tune of $105 which I politely refused. Well, maybe what I told him he could do with his $105 charge wasn't to polite. I figured that even at 78 and with a cane I could change a couple $15 to $20 myself. The engine air cleaner was easy, it just sat there in plain sight when I popped the hood. But does anyone know where in the world is the cabin air filter on a 2008 Honda Civic? I looked all over under the hood and under the dash but could see nothing that looked like a filter.
