    Federal Pacific Panel Prevents House Closing

    The sellers estate people should grant a temporary waiver/hold harmless agreement to allow an electrician to replace the panel. We lived in our one home from 1993-2015 with a FPE panel, I even added a 220 v line for a hot tub myself ... never had a problem. I don't waste money paying home...

    What is your EDC Pistol?

    I like Fobus OWB adjustable retention paddle holsters as generally my first choice. I'm looking for for a new holster for my newest CCW carry gun... Ruger Security .380. I bought a decent, inexpensive level 2 paddle holster on Amazon. It does the job but it's not easy to slide/clip on and off.

    Ring camera/ doorbell— happy to have

    Not what I was speaking of....I was stating that the ability of thieves/burglars to jam your Ring or Simply safe system with readily available devices was way overblown and sensationalized... basically click bait BS.

    Ring camera/ doorbell— happy to have

    I have a Ring doorbell and security system. It works great and is reliable. Added a few el cheapo cameras...both wireless with a solar panel and wired. All works great. The hype nonsense about thieves using hacks is utter click bait BS. $200/year for Ring monitoring is just fine. Anyone getting...

    S&W 642 Airweight refinished

    I tried ankle carry with my Colt Detectives Special. I think I did 2 shifts with it and the holster went in a drawer and never came out. The Colt is heavier and a bit bulkier than your Airweight... It felt like was limping which I probably was.

    S&W 642 Airweight refinished

    Outstanding! You could probably fill in the "faded" S&W stamped logos if you're really bored on a rainy day. You still carry it? What holster?

    Anyone have experience with under deck ceiling systems?

    I think I know what you mean. I've seen many DIY solutions using PVC corrugated panels fastened to PT 1x2s perpendicular to the joists but sloped away from the house to a rain to a rain gutter and downspout. Can't use aluminum or galvanized...they don't play well with PT lumber.

    Anyone have experience with under deck ceiling systems?

    We're going to be replacing the existing deck at our beach house sometime mid-late fall The current structure is 10'x30' second floor on 2x10 joists 16"O.C. with 2x6 decking. It's old but structurally solid. The 6x6 posts were replaced 8 years ago and wrapped in PVC and the 6x6 beam is...

    SG Ammo order

    Good to know. Thanks. Will check them out. I used to go Target Sports USA routinely, but they're becoming less competitive with prices and I had poor experience with their exclusive brand .38, New Republic. The Magtech.380 from SG has been just fine so far.

    Questions for any general contractors

    Locations with a lot of home construction creates competition...as do higher income locations. Google reviews are generally accurate in my experience. Referrals are probably the best tool for selection. We hired a roofing/siding contractor for our beach house based on my checking Google Reviews...
