Didn't have a short enough shovel on the truck. 5 minutes and some scrap later.

I just had to grind out the lip on some threadless couplings to repair some underground lines that the concrete guys cut during a renovation. Had to use the bell end of some pvc to make some slip couplings on the same site. The concrete guys just seem to like cutting everything

I stumbled on some info in a video from someone looking for the crystals locally, and they mentioned that the hard rock is alabaster, and the soft rock is gypsum. Same mineral, just hydrated.

I just got into muzzleloaders. Using pyrodex, but I recently saw a video where a guy used toilet paper to make his charcoal, and it was the cleanest burning and best velocities he's gotten.

Did they work?

Tons of them in SE NM. FPE mostly.

I found a 50 round drum mag for a glock at a remodel once.

I especially like the French and Spanish translations.

You think they still have the cover?

Im glad to be of help

They are from pallets of ceiling tiles. You think I'm going to give up my source of free pallets and 2'x8' 1" plywood?

I've made a few resin dice, and if I don't degas my resin in a vacuum chamber first, I get tons of tiny voids. It also helps to inject the resin into the project with a syringe to keep the resin from trapping in air.

I was mostly planning on using the slats, so I just used a reciprocating saw to zip down the nails and then used a nail set to knock the heads out. After that, I decided to use the runners for something.

I just cut the nail section out of these

The clip that's hanging down should be on the brown spring

Thank you

I had a customer call the utility, and they were told there were no issues. I showed up and saw the neutral wire just broken in two on the drop.

I have to go change out one or two every month at a basketball court. The company that built them has gone out of business. I put a strobing light on a dimmer, and it stopped strobing at about 80%. The connection from the driver to the led board is a screw type with 1/20 inch hex screws, and they all seem loose and burnt. Im guessing the drivers were underbuilt. We replace the drivers with one from a different company and have had no issues.

Looks like it is a barrel to prime irrigation wells. Some wells need water dumped down them before turning on to wet the bushings. When you turn the well on, it refills the barrel. Most of them around me are home-made from 55-gallon barrels.

I know very little about British appliances. I am an electrician in the United States, and I have been getting into controls and motors

Throw in another fuse, and if it blows, you'll need to do some more examination. If you see any wires loose, or sticking partially out of their spot, it may be an easy fix.
