    Replacing Titan Hose Reel Manifold

    Hey Hal, here are some tear down pictures. I am REALLY surprised at the condition of the galvanized manifold,...even the inside isn't nearly as corroded as I've seen it in the past. This is proof of what rinsing does for longevity. Probably 10-15 gallons of water pumped through the hose reel...

    Was fishing in the local river a few days ago and found this thing lying just off the waters edge? I haven't any idea what it is or what it's for.

Especially in humid weather and also when using wheelbarrow compressors with small tanks. ALOT of water builds up in the tanks in a short period of time in humid weather. The...

    Gonna start using an unloader block, wondering if it's bad to put a couple of 90 degree elbows to make a neater more compact assembly? Wondering about flow restriction. Even thought about getting some adapters to up size the connector hose and elbows to 1/2" to compensate for the 90 degree...

We don't run into the issue much anyhow, but if it's going to enter a storm drain we try to collect runoff from roofs in bags and buckets and dump it on a hard surface somewhere and left to evaporate. We have a big roof to...

    Has anyone ever ran into the "waxing" of stain on wood siding? I had never heard of it until a few days ago.
