    How about some good music links?

    2Cellos, who in addition to the Classics, also perform their interpretations of popular song in a classic style (of sorts) since it can be a bit more aggressive. They are a Croatian cellist duo, consisting of classically trained cellists, Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser. They play instrumental...

    How about some good music links?

    Check out The Piano Guys. Not only do they perform their interpretations of the Classic Masters, but also modern covers of popular songs. Story behind the song: The American Heritage Lyceum Philharmonic (Youth Orchestra) and its director, Kayson Brown, approached us with this idea. We loved...

    I want to use charcoal in my gas grill- how best to go about it?

    I would still like to not have ashes inside...I have rectangular box that I use wood chips and set it inside if I remove one of the grates. I see there is one made with a "V-shaped" bottom that fits better... am going to get one of those soon.

    I want to use charcoal in my gas grill- how best to go about it?

    A "seasoned" professional griller or a "seasoned" professional pranktser? I perhaps fancy myself both. A couple years ago back I pulled one on my CPAP forum. For those of you who have apnea and use a machine will understand this: CPAP machines are intended solely for one machine to one user-...

    :sneaky: :LOL: Can't pull a fast one on Brenda... she's too sharp. I have a couple of whoppers on my other forums too. Have a fun day folks and watch out for those pranksters.

    I want to use charcoal in my gas grill- how best to go about it?

    I would like to start using charcoal brickettes in my Weber Genesis as indicated in my signature. Should I put some sort of thick foil pan over the burners before I do this? If so, how does the flame of the burners start the coal to heat up? Or should I just put the coals directly on the...

    Affixing 2 X 4 to brick wall ?

    Is the hinge-side post of sufficient integrity? Does that one need any attention? The new gate will only be as good as the jamb to which it is fastened.

    Affixing 2 X 4 to brick wall ?

    As long as the sheathing is not the old black celotex... Back in the day that was all too common and see it all the time on renovations. Can't believe they used that stuff, but I guess the material were cheap enough to allow framers to let in diagonal 1x for shear!

    Affixing 2 X 4 to brick wall ?

    That looks like a decent alternative. The moment would depend on the integrity of the fastening to concrete... ideally the existing concrete would be at least 6" and use an expansion bolt. If using this idea, I would fully detach any existing connection to the brick veneer.

    Affixing 2 X 4 to brick wall ?

    Ditto what J Grotz said about setting the column in a footing. Lynn, is setting a PT post in concrete viable in your situation? I set 6x6 in Sono-tube for my hinge side and securely bolted the latch side to the framing. But I was on a deck , not surface grade. But the latch side was totally...

    Affixing 2 X 4 to brick wall ?

    I don't think you will need a hammer drill since the brick is a lot softer than concrete. the shields might be a better bet, but because of the size and softness, don't blow it out when installing those. Brick is a tough material to fasten to.

    Some more BS.... This remake should be everyone's theme song regardless of the times, situations, affiliations, et. al.... ...this one with Jimmy Hall doing the old Wet Willie hit: ...to hear the lyrics better, here's the original:

    Affixing 2 X 4 to brick wall ?

    Generally when I have used tapcons, I buy the recommended bit. I do this for two reasons: first, it is the correct size (when used in concrete) to allow the bore to be correct diameter to the fastener being used. Plus, it is new and sharp when using it in a hammer drill (again, protocol for...
