Oh, and forgot to mention: for terminating coax, don't even *think* about trying to do it with the junk-grade home stuff, spend the money and get TnB Snap-n-Seal F-connectors and the appropriate too

If you want to try something I'd recommend the Krylon Contractor Door & Shutter paint. It may be the same stuff as the Krylon 'Fusion' stuff, I don't know, but what mattered to me is that it's label

Y'know, it's very funny, but in the couple decades I've had vehicles with plastic-tank radiators, I've had exactly *one* failure, and that ('98 BMW 540i) was of a vent nipple on the top of the tank

Absent a manufactured extension, a chunk of 2x8 laid on the ground in front of the ramp helps - bevel the leading edge if you're truly anal. John.

For me 14.4V is about the 'sweet spot' on weight vs power. I've got an 18V battery Sawzall (need a chunk of sheetmetal at the junkyard? No problem!) but I wouldn't want to carry that battery around

In our remodel I put a bunch of 2+2 in (2 4-pair Cat5E + 2 RG6 coax) and pulled it all back to a bunch of cabinets (2 42in and 1 24in) in the attic. I used OnQ cabinets but parts for them aren't as

I would only note that this is true in areas with building codes. When traveling in China with a friend who's in the plumbing-supply business, he noted that such is not consistently the case there.
