I don't plan to go fully dry, but the month off really made me realize how much even one or 2 drinks on a weeknight can affect how I feel in the morning. I am now much more aware of drinking habits, and plan on cutting back a ton moving forward. ...

We all have our struggles. You've taken Step 1, which is one of the hardest steps to make. You have admitted you aren't satisfied with yourself, you need help, and you want to change. That's really freaking awesome. Make a commitment to yourself to do better each week, and don't beat yourself up whe...

If you intend to connect to the public storm drain, storm sewer doesn't generally have backflow prevention on gravity systems. You wouldn't have enough pressure to activate passive backflow in the same way you do a potable water system. I see that you are in BR, so you would want to contact their T...

At the same price, I'd go with the one with more CFM and speed. But it probably will drain the battery faster. Depending on the size of your property, and whether you have another Ego tool with a battery, you may want to plan for buying a second battery. Especially if you plan on using it to blow le...

Summer 2020, in DFW, I had ~400 sf concrete patio poured for $2,500. 4" thick, #3 rebar on 18" centers, 8" footing around the outside edge. I removed an old wooden deck myself, and did the rough grading by hand. Hopefully that gives you a good ballpark. I imagine they'd have charged an additional...

If you can't mow with the Big Dogs, stay on the porch!...

The Ego has great power, and it's so easy to restring. Literally, you poke the string through a hole, then press a button. ...

[quote]ego and echo.[/quote] I replaced a 20+ year old Echo weed eater with an Ego. I love the power, ease of use, and reliability of the Ego. But, the head is at a flatter angle and spins the opposite direction of the Echo, and it took me almost a full season to get used to that. The Echo is ...

That same mistake cost me $80 about a month ago. I called an electrician because replacing a fixture like-for-like is the extent of electrical work I feel comfortable doing. It took him just a few minutes to figure out what was going on. I felt like a fool at the time, but totally worth it for the s...

Don't do it! ...

[quote]boudin and kimchee[/quote] odd pairing, because I wouldn't think of it. But now I want it. ...

Do you have a budget? ...

If you can't get the bonnet nut off by twisting with average force, don't try to use your muscle to untighten it. Either call a plumber, or get a large set of slip joints to bend it or crack it free, then replace the trim kit. Trust me. Otherwise you can break the copper supply lines and end up w...

Does it still work? ...

[quote]Well with that patch job, make sure you don’t use 5/8” to patch it if it’s only 1/2”. That’s my dumbest mistake. And the dumbest part was how long it took me to realize that I was never going to get it floated and sanded flat.[/quote] For some reason, there is one wall in my house that has 5...

How is Goldees? Its literally 10 minutes from my house, and a co-worker's son is an owner. I can't believe I haven't been yet. ...
