wormil posted:Soon will be time to outfit my remodeled bathroom. Delta, Moen, Kohler -- about the same, one better than another? Looking for middle of the line quality, something that works and is reliable. I have had bad experiences with Delta and good ones with Moen. For toilets, I cannot recommend a Toto Drake enough. It's a beast.

Lord of Garbagemen posted:I tried the digging approach on 30 ft of fencing and it took far to long with my soil type and the 3 foot hole they were in. I have another 50 posts i have to pull and would like to get it down to like 30 minutes to pull and auger a new hole, so hand digging will be a last resort. I am going to try the double car jack method this weekend on a test post and see how it works. Will report back with results. Wiggle the post around until it is as loose as you can get it. Nail an 8' 2x4 to the post. Lift the post out using the long end of the 2x4 for leverage. I find about 3' from the end of the 2x4 and as low to the ground on the post as you can comfortably get works best. Post should be out in a minute or two tops. Use a nice fat nail since all the force goes through it. Have a friend wiggle the post while you lift for best results.

French Canadian posted:Is there a magic tool for pulling staples from subfloor? We are theoretically switching to hardwood. The prior carpet installation means that millions of staples are in the floor. Granted, they're in nice rows, but it's a bitch. I have a small deadblow hammer and a tiny pointy prybar that can get under the staples, and then I just whack them horizontally and they pop/slide out. Doesn't really hurt the subfloor. Use side cutters to remove the staples. Don't just squeeze hard and cut the staples, use moderate pressure and the angled part of the cutters to pry each side of the staple up grabbing them from as close to the subfloor as possible. Works like a charm. Painting the subfloor will look like poo poo. I'd put some cheap vinyl flooring in instead of painting. Easy to remove when you want to install something nicer.
