    Naval aircraft carrier turning at speed; Really Impressive

    So if the mass of water in the bucket actually slows the gpm the bucket should fill faster with the nozzle above. Might try that.

    Naval aircraft carrier turning at speed; Really Impressive

    I caught a small invisable jet of 450# steam, and yes I bet 1200 can. We used the broom on our hydrogen tower stairs and piping too. It would catch fire when passed by a leak.

    Hercules cordless

    I like being able to buy replacement battery packs from Vanon. They perform well and are available for most major brands. HF not so much, I just looked. From my time with flashlights I've learned when you see 18650 cells too cheap they are salvaged and the decent ones have new endcaps on them to...

    I Hang On To My Tools.

    Worked on a Paper Machine (similar to the image) in the 70's. Made a 30' wide sheet of newspaper at 35 mph, massive machine. We changed these felt belts every 2 weeks that pulled the paper (or visa versa-it's been a while) from a 3'dia solid granite roll$$$. We were done and maint noticed a...

    Textured ceiling - how to?

    My texture exactly-Stomp Brush. I have tried to match and it's almost impossible. If you try to feather into the existing you get "double stomped". If you try to sand smooth a width or line and fill in you create an edge. The best i have done is to approach it with an artist eye and touch, and...

    What are you watching in YouTube?

    One of the comments "So now you burn 2x gas, 2x maintenance , 2x noise to mow the same width" haha At least when I made mine years ago I offset it. I had a 24" rider and a 20" push mower to mow 2 acres. And I never had a trans issue. However I did mow over a Walkman that an errant tree limb...

    Home insurance increase

    I wish I could find the article that showed how fema is "redistributing" flood risk. It showed how a homeowner with no risk was paying hundreds more that someone next to the beach this year. I think it was on the news? I also love how ins companies send you those **** "replace page 6 with this...

    Cost of a new central air system

    Like any appliance, avoid the bells and whistles. They will break the most and will be the out of stock parts.

    New GFCI outlet not working

    Side note-I put one in a bathroom that never had one, just a regular outlet, and the test and reset buttons work just fine. I thought I would see what would happen if I tossed my electric shaver plug (straight 120v, no brick) in the sink full of water. Nothing.....I'm all pvc plumbing, would...

    Do old vinyl records have any value?

    I went thru this a few years ago. Record store picked 20-30 popular ones out to buy. The REALLY popular stuff, they said you can buy those new now and on better vinyl for 20-30$. I brought around 100 albums back home and eventually tossed them. They were well taken care of-Dual turntable and...

    Picture search

    You guys probably know about this but for those that haven't tried it, it is very helpful. Need to ID a bug, a leaf, anything, just use picture search on Google. I needed a small plastic part on the bottom of my shower doors that broke and had no idea of the brand anymore. Took a pic of the one...

    Generator shutdown question

    That's what I'm thinking. When the gen starts slowing down, it struggles to provide the watts/voltage. Only way to make up for volts is amps and that increases the heat in the windings, etc. Seems like if it was damaging they would have the OL cutout tied in such a way as to unload itself? Or...
