The Linksys WRT54G has been a favorite amongst my geeky friends for years. I got mine at Staples for $35 or so. They price-matched an online flyer from somewhere. I had the 'C' version which stands f

Since FIFO doesn't work so well for home renovations, I'm going to have to cut a shower enclosure in half to remove it. It's made of fiberglass. How nasty will it get if I use the sawzall? Will the f

I was in HD yesterday and the only cast iron I saw was a toilet flange. Actually I saw about 12 different types of flanges. Oy. I tore up the slab a bit and what I have is a wye and a 45 in the bull
