I've said before This is just not acceptable. Maybe they are simpler, but when have you heard of a "digital" microwave "control board" go out? Unless you have a significant lightning hit, when is the last time you had a TV or stereo die? Cars now have electronics and they endure a lot of...

Yeah, $9.95 when one can just go to the authors for free? Sort of like Bill Gates taking advantage of the original developer of the PC OS (and then turning it into Windows.) http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/

wedge anchors Yes, the name I recognize is expansion bolts.

I'd volunteer, but... A bit too far to go. ;) Do you still have your compressed air/vac attachment you could take a picture of?

I've been using that same plastic trap for mice. But the last time it must have caught the mouse oddly. It was dragged through a tangle of stuff across the kitchen (when I finally found it) and pulled up into the opening beneath the front of the cabinets and the mouse had gotten out. The plastic...

Okay - I see - studs are "bolts" not wooden studs and the whole purpose is to create sturdy bolts/studs/anchors to attach the sole plate to. Using the epoxy/drilling sounds like it would create a more accurate placement (if it makes a difference), but a lot more work. Though I would think a bolt...

sudsmaster That sounds familiar. I won't describe the method of dispatch from the person, but I knew someone who somewhat did the same thing. And then eventually became a doctor after working with computers for a number of years after the mouse/research thing.

"Even so, something very similar (I use Simpson Strong-Tie epoxy) approved, if not preferred, for fixing foundation bolts. If done right, these are less prone to failure than wedge type anchors, which tend to spall the concrete, causing stud failure." Can I get a little more explanation of...

Which reminds me There was a thread a few months back, I don't remember in which forum, where Robert had a "nightmare" repair of rust in a tub (or outside a tub where supports attached.) He was going to describe how he did it, but I don't remember that he ever did. Did I miss it...

Sometimes hard to remember old friends. They're with us too short a time. But this makes me happy:

Well, maybe There are small-minded people in this country who are of the "atta boy" and "bitch" persuasion. More than there should be. But there are others who are not. Martha Stewart, belonged in jail. Lots of corporate men should be there too. Libby is a totally different story. Bush did...

Jack Welsh Yes, another fine example of a human being. The list of those could get very long these days.

Scissors? You're supposed to rip duct tape...

junk "Mechanically solid, these have been taken care of very well. First fair offer takes these away today." Perhaps a fair offer would be for the seller to pay someone to haul them off...

Sorry, I don't give anyone, man or woman, an "atta boy" for acting like a jerk. Just as she might not have wanted to share the world with "the little people", I'm not interested in sharing it (or at least my space) with people who can't generally show respect for others. (Yes, it's possible we...

Whirlcool's link I keep getting connection refused...

Were they shut down because the input water was over 90 or because their discharge was over 90...?

$17k - how many feet of cabinets - base and uppers?

Yeah, I can't think of it now (because I turn it off as soon as possible), but there is some f**king fat (diet loss) commercial that constantly runs here on Ch. 45 that is the ultimate in disgust. It lasts "forever" (in TV terms) with disgusting people that make me want to barf or commit...

What sudsmaster says is right. If you have good, solid cabinets to start with vs. the new (unless you pay-through-the-nose-trash) you are probably better off going with the resurfacing - though I'm not overly enthused with a veneer over the old. But then the powers-that-be believe perception...
