      WTB: Old tools

      I'm sure people have stuff that's sitting in barns, drawers, and wherever, collecting dust, rust, and mice droppings... I don't know what I'm looking for, but I know that my tools are limited, and I need to up my options. I'm really interested in hand tools--I think of the tools my dad...

      Using engineered lumber i beam for home gym?

      My basement uses engineered i-beams for the floor joists. Because the bottom of the joists are almost 9' off the floor, I'd like to mount a pull up bar and maybe a DIY TRK-type webbing setup. How do I do this correctly, so I'm not weakening the joists? I'm thinking I'll have to use 1"...

      Looking to escape and unplug

      My wife and I and teenage son need to just get into the wilderness and unplug for a weekend. Does anyone know of any cabins for rent that won't put us in the middle of people in blaze orange? We just need to make a fire and wander through the trees and just get grounded... We're in the Indy...

      Heater core flush

      I flushed the system earlier in the year; looking at the coolant I collected, there's a bit of oil on the surface. Is it possible that oil has stuck on and baked onto the core, decreasing its effectiveness? I'm at least the 3rd owner of the vehicle and who knows how long it's had whatever...

      Shadetree mechanic?

      My 1998 Expedition needs new upper and lower control arms (both sides); I simply cannot swallow paying a regular shop to do the work, and I don't mind getting my hands greasy-- I've done tie rods, brakes, water pump, alternator, etc before, but I've never done this repair, and it seems a bit...

      WTB: House/land

      Johnson/Shelby/Morgan county area... looking to get out of the HOA neighborhood and a place to run free, have the deer nibble on my plants, and coyotes prowl in the back yard. Acreage. Trees. Whether there's a house there or not. Just looking for options.

      Car A/C

      2007 Dodge Caravan with no cold air. I hooked up a can to the low pressure port and the pressure gauge showed 10, so I added a can, which did bring up the pressure to ~25(?), but no coldness, and the compressor didn't kick in at all, so I, of course, started another can (both are small cans)...

      Free: 4 bulb troffers

      Free in the Greenwood area: Two 4-bulb fluorescent troffers. I was planning on converting them to LED but never got around to it; I removed the ballasts but still have them--as far as I know, they still work. Comes with four bulbs.

      Troops on the streets--how??

      The Mayor of NYC's comments that suggest a restriction of free travel got me thinking... how does a government operationalize martial law? Our cities and towns sprawl. Certainly, there aren't enough troops or law enforcement to block and patrol every road/neighborhood 24/7 within an entire...

      Bright back up/reverse lights

      Our grocery getter (Dodge Caravan) has lousy reverse/backup lights, so I put in Zevo bulbs (3057), thinking they'd solve my problem. No go. The bulbs are brighter than stock bulbs, but I don't know if the reflectors aren't right for them or what, because it doesn't help to light up the...

      HVAC work = dusty film on everything?

      We have this weird dusty film on everything and I wonder if it's from our HVAC system. In March, we had a new compressor installed on our heat pump and put a new inline drier that wasn't there before (house is 14 years old, made during the housing boon). The company over-filled/charged the...

      How to recover a vehicle

      Seeing a few cars off the road this morning made me realize I'm lacking something in the Expedition to be helpful/to be saved. Looking online, I learned that I need a recovery strap (with loops) and not a tow strap (with hooks). I also learned that I can put one strap loop through the receiver...

      Women's self-defense course

      Any recommendations/guidance on Indy-area self-defense courses for women, NON-firearm based? I realize a 4-8 hr class, even with a large amount of hands-on practice isn't the end-all, be-all, but it'll be a good start.

      Drafting/art table?

      My high school daughter loves to paint and is looking at art/drafting tables, She has a vision for what she wants, but it is beyond my ability to craft :) That said, if anyone has their own setup/studio, care to post a picture? If you have leads on quality yet inexpensive tables, I'm all ears.

      WTB: Nintendo classic (NES)

      I'm looking for the recently-released NES Classic, the one that comes pre-loaded with 20 games... I can't justify spending what Amazon is charging for the system plus a controller. I'm willing to drive an hour or so from Indy, if that's what it takes to bring a smile to my son's face (ok, and...

      Skateland

      For those in the know--would you recommend a bunch of white non-city folk go to Skateland? It'll be for a special event at night (not during normal hours)

      Prepaid/off brand wireless company vs The Big Ones

      I have always had mainstream wireless accounts.. AT&T, Verizon... but, why not use the prepaid companies? They're cheaper cost and typically piggybacked off the major networks. I looked at Total Wireless' page (getting one of the kids their first smart phone), and we can get our entire family...

      Multi-tool without blade?

      Any recommendations for a multi-tool without a knife? It's nice to fly with one, but the blade makes them TSA-unfriendly.

      A kinder, gentler cleaner?

      A friend was asking if there are less-toxic chemicals to use to clean his firearms. He currently uses CLP but wants to move in a bit of a greener direction... Thoughts?
