    Can anyone explain these roof braces?

    We called them 'Inverted trusses when I was building houses with an actual ridge pole. It stiffened the ridge so the rafters wouldn't push the wall outward in a long (20') as I remember wall. Typically over a Living room.

    Harbor Freight-Hercules miter saw

    Home Depot's Ridgid miter saw stand is highly recommended by me. I got it on sale for $100. It's normally double that-watch for holiday sales. The saw bolts pemanently to the stand and the stand folds up, so you can store it against a wall. And when it's folded, it's on two wheels so you can...

    OT, is this legit? PC froze

    Geek Squadd is GOOD. Bought my PC from Best Buy in 2015 and got 'Web-Root' anti virus at no charge. They installed it. I was losing internet connection multiple times a day and at the store, they said 'you have Geek Squad as part of your plan and it's FREE'. He came yesterday and was here two...

    Call to check your zip code

    Correct. What many seniors don't realize is once you sign up for an advantage plan, you're no longer on Original Medicare. The advantage plan is an HMO and there's treatments that they may not cover, and you need pre-approval, along with you must use their list of Doctors or pay more. Out of...

    Thermonsyphon

    It would take a HUGE radiator to do this. Along with large pipes to circulate coolant. As it is, my Ford 8N will boil it's antifrreeze when bushogging my pasture. Now, it does take about an hour to achieve this, but once it starts, it's constant. I have a thermostat and the water pump does it's...

    Carbon build up in catalytic converter

    Don't call him out on it; I tried nicely to correct him one time and within a day, my comment was removed. or 'Censored-something he claims he's against.

    Fuel for my JD H

    You can run gasoline in it; no problem. Preferably without Ethanol. You see, when Deere and other manufacturers built these tractors, gasoline was a 'premium' fuel and 'Distillate' was much cheaper and safer to store. When I got my John Deere 'B' in 1969, I was told by 'Harold' an expert on...

    Farmer is increasingly his acreage.

    If it was Iowa, he'd be decreasing the 'improved' valuation of his property, thereby reducing his property taxes. One reason Iowa has so few railroads when at one time we had the MOST trackage-never more than 7 miles from track-is the Right of Way is considered 'improved' when the tracks are in...

    Sediment Bowl Gasket and Screen Shopping

    Only drawback with cork is the ethanol some fuels have. The cork is bonded with shellac and ethanol-alcohol-damages that bond, causing shrinkage when you shut the gas off at the tank.

    More on roads and todays funny

    Carpenter's Union is the same. Got my 55 year member pin last year at our yearly retirement dinner. No such thing as Seniority, either.

    AGM battery

    Our Ford Escape had to be re-programmed. After4 years, I was listening to the radio while wife was at Dr. and after 15 minutes, I got a message 'turning off to save battery' Within a couple months, it was shutting off after 3 minutes. Ford wanted $100.00 PLUS installation. Bought the identical...

    What ceiling fan?

    In my opinion, no. And not just because the blades are a composite. You need either steel or aluminum as the thicker blades become excessively noisy when they are ran fast enough to move air. I've had two D.E.M.C. fans from 'Handy Dan', an early 'Big Box' store, that were $75.00 each 48 years...

    Which one do you use and why

    Glad you mentioned the 'small lawn mower battery'. That little engine may start with a weak battery but then the built in charger works overtime to maintain the charge. False economy to keep a weak battery going another season, in my opinion.

    Dear barney

    Must've not have been Geico; I made a left turn with a green arrow-vehicle facing me turned right on red into my side. Geico determined it was 20% my fault, even though it was a four lane road and she was on her phone and crossed over the traffic lane. Wish I'd had a dash cam. I ripped her side...

    Need electrical advice-LED Dimmers

    John T might be the one to answer this. On my old car, the dash lights were very dim so I replaced them with LED's. The rheostat on the headlight switch wouldn't dim them so another car nut said get a 'Pulse Width Modulator'. I installed it in the dash and it WORKS. This is for a 12 volt car, so...
