    What the hell is UniUni?

    I ordered some stuff for Michelle, and it got sent via some **** called "UniUni". WTF?? And of course...the didn't drop them off when I was out. I'm hoping the chatbot actually processed the "leave the package on the porch, cameras provide security" instructions....

    Eastwood frame coating?

    So, trying to prep our Jeep TJs for long life. I'll be drilling (4) 1/2” drain holes in each frame to let mud and crap drain out (there's tons of holes in the sides of the boxed frame that let stuff in, but no bottom holes to let stuff out) and I plan to coat the insides with....something. Any...

    Driveway seal coating?

    Snake oil, or a worthwhile job? My driveway (asphalt, done in 2012) is starting to get some cracks. I've been trying to spot seal them to prevent water intrusion, and freeze/thaw heaving...but my neighbors just had theirs sealed and the guy gave me a quote that I think is not bad. Neighbors...

    Leveling a bathroom floor...

    So, I'm making progress on my rental renovation. Bathroom time. Question for builders/plumbers in the group (I'm "handy", but don't do this for a living or anything). Toilet is about 16" from exterior wall. Cast iron pipe, not moving it. Floor drops 7/8" within 22" of the exterior wall, then...

    Hardwood floor questions

    So, I have hardwood in my house. I had hardwood in my rental (original, 75+ years old), but a tenant (and her dog, and all the mice from her being a f'n SLOB) ruined it. So I'm remodeling the rental. I'm at the point I have to decide what floor covering I'm doing, so I can set cabinets (more...

    East Coast diesel prices?

    So, I'm getting ready to make a trip in a (borrowed) RV - a 40' Newmar Ventana 3962 diesel, towing my '06 Wrangler behind. Heading down the east coast (I95 corridor) to the FL keys and back. Got 100 gal on board so I have options for where to stop, if pricing is significantly different from...

    Anyone in Lubbock, TX? College kid in need...

    So, my stepdaughter is at Tech. She's got her 250k mile '08 Dakota V6 six speed manual extended cab, and it's getting...janky. Last it was here, I put a clutch in it because the disc grenaded. Did everything - disc, plate, bearing, hydraulics. Trans has started jumping out of gear, getting hard...

    Aftermarket cruise?

    So, this is for my Wrangler but the aftermarket "universal" kits could work on our B's as well, so I figured I'd ask - anyone ever install one on a car? I'm looking at a Rostra kit for my Wrangler. Looks pretty straighforward - has DIP switches for number of cylinders and other settings, it...

    Keys

    So I'm stupid, that's a given. But I just cannot remember... I got my charger a few years ago. Pentastar ignition key, round trunk key. Neither one unlocks the doors. I'm pretty sure on my '72, the pentastar is the doors, too, and the round is just trunk (and maybe glovebox?)...yes? I'm...

    'Tis the season....what are your upcoming winter projects?

    Time's coming (at least here in the salt-and-brine-addicted northeast) to park the ol' classics for the winter and start fixin' stuff we didn't want to sideline them with during the "fun" season. We still have some great driving weather (and scenery when the leaves start to change)...but since...

    Anybody ever sound-insulate a room?

    So, I have a rental duplex and one tenant has absolutely DESTROYED a unit. I won't get into all of it here as it makes my blood boil...but suffice it to say I will have all the studs exposed including the ceiling. This is an over/under duplex, not a side by side, so in order to cut noise between...

    Gasoline spill in workshop, OSB subflooring

    So, I was working in my shop yesterday on a motorcycle. Moved some stuff around, including an old fuel tank. Apparently, I hit the lever on the petcock and opened the valve....and it dumped a good bit (I'd say over 2 gal) of stale unleaded all over the floor. Of course, it soaked into the wood...

    Scan tool recommendation?

    So, this is (obviously) for a late-model car... My Matco OBD-II scanner is in Texas, with Michelle's daughter. She had it for the drive to college last fall, in the 08 Durango, because it had an intermittent evap code and I wanted her to be able to clear it if needed, during the trip to school...

    Plumbers - building code question, sprinkler pipes

    So, at work, we have a 2" water feed line that runs the length of our performance room (I work in a live music venue). Figure...a 100' run. There are (4) 90 degree bends in the pipe, to clear what used to be a roll-up garage door - instead of going straight, it comes in, turns left; turns right...

    Judgement call - home heat pump repair

    So, my heat pump has been acting up. Aux heat works, but it's $$$$ so I had a company I've worked with in the past, come out and diagnose. Turns out, the control board on the exterior unit took a power hit and is DOA. $109 diag trip, I'm good with that and it's paid and done. He checked...

    Anyone have a discount code for Classic Industries?

    Going to order a fuel sender for the Charger (dead gauge), they have the OER units in stock. Anyone have a discount code they aren't using? Better yet, anyone have a reason NOT to use the OER sending unit? Just a stock, 5/16", no return line unit for the 318 Charger 500... Thanks!

    Wood fireplace insert shopping - advice? Experience?

    So, I have a "live" wood fireplace in my living room, marble hearth, stone chimney with terra cotta liner and fire bricks in the burn box, but it's only had a gas log in it to date (house built in 1987). I recently had a chimney inspector check it out so I could start burning wood (4 acres...

    APPARENTLY, it's dead transmission month...

    My '90 turbo Voyager ate its transmission last weekend. Not surprised - it's been on the way out (double the stock boost level didn't help, I'm sure!), I knew it was coming...and now I need to yank it and rebuild it, or rebuild one of the cores I have in the shed. It's a Torqueflite A413 3 speed...
