    Left handed shooting right handed gun, and cutting stock.

    I have a couple nicer Ruger 10/22's that I plan to pass on to my two sons, and last night I found a nice pink laminate stock for my daughter at a price I couldn't pass on. That leaves me with a plain factory stock to cut down until they grow into the full size. Leaves me with a couple...

    Couldn't get through to run background check to purchase firearm. Anybody else?

    Not getting political here, but just have a simple question. I bought a firearm yesterday and the FFL dealer was on hold for 54 minutes before getting through to run the background check portion. They said the longest they've ever waited previously was 10 minutes. This morning at 10:00 AM...

    May build cabin, plan and concrete questions.

    I've had my eye on a piece of lakefront for a while, the price has gotten to a point where I may have to buy it. Just had a couple questions and hoping for some input. This is in northwest WI so it will get chilly. I've talked a lot with the township and building code seems to be minimal at...

    Water in bearings question

    I just fixed a flat and was putting the tire back on and decided to check my bearings. About a teaspoon of water poured out so I took off the hub to have a look. The grease around the outer bearings is milky but looked clean around the inner bearings. There is rust on the spindle where the...

    I hate keys!

    Nothing good happens when you're short on time and in a hurry. I took the kids for a last minute fishing trip this morning. I backed down the ramp, unhooked the winch strap and jumped over the bow into the boat with an extra strong push to get the boat off the trailer,.....and instantly...

    Replacing tires, do I have the right ones.

    My 18 ft Aluminum Sylvan with motor and gear can't possibly weigh more than 2000 lbs. I've had a problem with persistent bead leaks on the passnger side leading up to this weekend at the cabin where I came out to find it completely flat. I filled it back up and couldn't find a leak anywhere...

    Backwards Canoe

    I didn't want to risk it out there this weekend so I took the kids to the beach. There was a huge family gathering going on and one of them brought a canoe. They had 2 permanent flip up seats mounted to it. Two young adults took turns taking younger kids (5-8 years old) for rides. No life...

    Been looking for a new car for my wife and Dodge Journey's seem to fit the bill. I've found a guy who is dying to get rid of his but it doesn't have the 3rd row, which I desperately need. Just wondering if anybody knows if one can be converted to have 3rd row? I've looked online and haven't...

    Bilge Pump Question

    I plan to add a second bilge pump to my aluminum boat. The 1000 gph pumps use a 3/4 inch hose and the 1250 gph pumps use a 1 1/8 hose. I currently have a 1 1/8 thru hull fitting left over from a livewell I no longer use, but it's about 8 feet from where the pump will be. Anybody have any...

    Engineered wood flooring questions

    It's come time to do something about my Douglas Fir flooring, I'm sick of the dents anytime something falls. I was thinking about just screwing down the few chronic squeaky spots and going over it with engineered wood. Whatever I put over the top will probably be a floating floor to avoid...

    Broken water supply line advice? What a way to wake up this AM!

    Woke up this AM to my wife screaming. Ran downstairs and immediately stepped in standing water. Turns out 1/2 the main floor of my house, all Douglas Fir, had standing water on it. Turns out sometime between 1:30 AM and 5 AM the supply line to my under sink reverse osmosis system popped off...

    Best Ever Guys Fishing Trip

    Sunday was in the 70's and my daughter was sick so I decided to take the boys, 5 and 7, fishing. It's the first time we've done just a "guys" trip so I loaded up a cooler with manly stuff including beef jerkey, cheese, root beer, and a couple adult ones. After launching the boat I sat in the...

    Since it's so hot thought I'd ask about ice dams!

    Since it's to hot to boat and I'm in the middle of summer projects, why not talk ice dams? The south exposure of my 1 1/2 story house gets pounded by the sun. It's a steep roof and it's also a big surface that seems to match the suns angle perfectly. There's a 6 foot section of my gutter that...

    Moving Battery

    I have a couple questions about moving a battery forward I was hoping you could help with on an aluminum boat. My last post on this was probably confusing. Thanks in advance. First, Is there any problem with running the cables under the deck? Chances of them getting wet would be minimal...
