@MrToolstop I picked up this vacuum (not from you guys, as I'm in the US)... and I'm pretty impressed. I bought it under the impression that the crevice tool was going to be best and the floor attachment not quite as good, but I was wrong! The crevice tool is pretty good, but the floor attachme...

@mlc4433 Houses have backflow preventers to prevent contaminated water from going back into the water supply. (Many water heaters also have check valves installed behind the wall to prevent the water from the water heater from entering the house's cold water pipes.) With no ability to get rid o...

First off, you should avoid cutting with a grinder whenever possible. Second, you're using a grinding wheel for a purpose that it's not intended for: cutting. Third, you've removed the guard, which protects you from the disc, in the event that it shatters. You are a fucking dumb ass. I cannot...

15 years... finally someone that's telling the truth about PV. These 5-10 year payback estimates really irritate me. People need to quit lying to their customers.

Evacuated tubes break too easily and lose their vacuum even if they don't break. Not surprised that they broke. Flat plate solar hot water collectors could've easily stood up to both the branch and the baseball throws. :)

PS: With a roof that steep (the top section, for sure,) you really should be tying yourself off (or buying extra roof jacks.) Heat is part of the job, but plummeting to your death, in my experience, is best to avoid.

Spontaneous Fatal Dandruff Attacks are real, people.

Hope you sued the pants off your landlord. This is the result of failing to maintain the water heater and could've easily killed or burned the crap out of you.

LOL... brilliant. Gotta love all the down votes and nasty comments... they're too smart for your dirty tricks!

I was about to say "Wow... same outdated technology and mind-numbing lectures that I had to learn from at college"... but then he threw CANDY!! ................. CANDY!!!!!! FOR A QUESTION THAT EVEN A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT SHOULD'VE KNOWN THE ANSWER TO!!! HOLY CARP!!!! Shoulda gone to Stanford. :(

@bob701z Salt systems need a lot of conditioner??? What??? Conditioner pretty much never leaves your pool -- it doesn't evaporate off, nor does it get "used up." All you have to do is get it up to 50ppm or so and leave it alone. The only way it leaves is through splash-out, when you backwash ...

@mar504 How much you save largely depends on how you heat your water (NG is cheap, but propane and electric aren't), how much you pay for that fuel, how much you use (which depends largely on how many people are in the residence), when you use your hot water, and how much storage you have. You c...

@TribalGlobe Thermosyphon systems are inefficient. It doesn't make sense to spend thousands on a system only to get 60% of its potential performance on account of not wanting to pay for a $125 pump and $0.25/mo. in electricity. Double-pumped drainback (i.e. no antifreeze) systems are the way to...

You're making my BTD141 feel inadequate! :(

*resisting urge to buy more power tools*

@drright71 PV panels will withstand 1", but not too much larger. My guess would be that most will break from 1.5-2" hail. Believe it or not, about a week ago I helped install a system on a guy's house, and about 6 hours after we finished, we had an extremely bad storm (tornado about 3 miles awa...

Care to remake this video with both companies' latest 18V impact drivers? Makita's 2600 RPM, 3400 IPM, 1420 in-lbs torque BTD144 vs. Dewalt's 2400 RPM, 2700 IPM, 1330 in-lbs torque DC827KL?

@vectoranime123 Wet concrete = weak concrete. The less water, the better.
