Hello, I am redoing my deck. Putting down MoistureShield composite deck boards and am looking for a railing. I was looking for some railings as I was reading through this subreddit. I remembered looking at Avant and checking out their lighting kits from fortress. Fortress was a familiar name from this subreddit.
They appear to be manufactured by the same parent company, but the Fortress FE26 is roughly $24 more expensive. Any idea why? Both sold at Menards. Both carry warranty.
Can I buy manufacturer direct to get a better price?

Hi there! I am having a heck of a time finding the right sink sprayer+hose because apparently we have the least common attachment for it. I am referring to the end of the hose opposite the sprayer handle side, where it connects up into the sink facet under the sink.
It is a quick connect, but it’s slightly different from all the in store ones I found (lowes guy spent 20 mins trying to help me figure this out). It has 2 of the little black bands and then also has this thing that sticks out on 2 sides that spins around, and I think it is what clicks up in the mechanism and holds it in place.
Even when I do a google search I can’t find anything like it, and can’t figure out how to search it. I’ll include some images of the part that goes up into the sink and then the part under the sink it goes in to.
Any help GREATLY appreciated, this has been 2 weeks and 4 trips to menards or Lowe’s, and I’m going insane :) Thank you! Images below:

Edit to add: myself, my husband, and my father in law have all looked and there is NO WHERE on the sink/under the sink/in the sink that says what brand it is. The Lowe’s guy didn’t believe me and then I showed him a video of me looking everywhere and we were both defeated.

Planning on running some wiring in my crawl. The crawl itself and access door are plenty large enough for me to get through, I've done crawl work before in places where the access door is higher, but in this house it's entirely below ground level and accessed through a well that must require any crew accessing it pick their smallest guy and not let him eat breakfast that morning. From the looks of it, the well used to be deeper, but the builders neglected to properly anchor the sides and the soil has compressed it back toward the door over time.
Since I want to be able to access this, I plan on removing the current well, digging out the area around it, and putting something more spacious in its place. I've seen a few options and wondered what experience people had with them. One would be the Turtl. It looks solid, but it's fairly pricey. Other options I've considered would be larger steel wells like this, a fiberglass egress well normally used for basement escape windows, or building something out of brick.

The Kentucky Speedway opened in Sparta with intensity in 2000 by website hosting a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Race and they have not slowed down on the grounds that. Located among Louisville and Cincinnati, Ohio, north of Louisville, the Speedway is situated on 1,000 acres and seats over 70,000 racing lovers. Even though the tune has hosted many NASCAR occasions, it has not been selected to host any of the NEXTEL Cup Series races. However, the track is one of the top tracks for private trying out of NEXTEL Cup automobiles and spectators are allowed to look at the trying out from outdoor of flip 3.

Hello everyone, I am going to be installing a 2" sand well point and have some questions I am hoping you all can help answer. Before I go into the questions this well point is going to be used for watering our garden with wobbler sprinklers, along with a potential future lawn irrigation system for 3/4-1 acre My questions are as follows.

1. I am going to be renting a electric jackhammer to drive the 2" pipe into the ground. That being said I know you're supposed to use drive couplings, however I saw someone made a comment somewhere on the forums saying to remove the drive couplings once installed and that confused me....Can't I just use drive couplings for each section of pipe and leave it in there?
2. I was planning on using teflon tape for each connection. Should I also be using pipe dope for each section of pipe as added protection?
3. I am looking to irrigate the garden and potentially a future lawn sprinkler system for 1 acre. I know the size of the pump is going to be contingent upon the flow of water, and I don't want the pump to outrun the flow of water but I am thinking of going with a 1HP pump from Harbor Freight and a 14 gallon pressure tank. I am going to have to reduce the pipe from 2" to the 1 1/4" inlet but I am hoping this is correctly sized.
4. If I go with this 1HP Harbor Freight Pump will I have to upgrade to a 20 amp circuit or larger? I will have an electrician wire this for me, however just looking to understand if there's any caveats I might encounter before trenching a line for the electrical.
5. Will I regret going with either a Harbor Freight or Pump from Menards, or is there not much a difference quality wise vs other brands found online?

So, long story short, LGS is doing a contest for the release of the lord mtg set in under 2 weeks. Everyone who enters gets 1 free pack, best costume gets 1 collector pack.
I decided to go with a witch king of angmar costume since it's basically a ring wraith outfit with a few extra details. And ring wraiths are fairly simple with just a black cloak.
Having said that, I found some patterns online for the gauntlets and helmet, have all the glove bits cut out on semi sturdy paper, have about a third of the helmet done (because upscaling is hard and I hate it).
But I need some advice on what I can use that might be better then semi sturdy paper for the armour bits. And before anyone says it, EVA foam is off the table, unless I can get it at my local craft store or menards. I don't have the time or money to be ordering online right now, so gotta shop local and cheap.
So what are some alternatives? I jave considered cardboard, and foam board. Foam board doesnt bend well so that has been written off, cardboard is only slightly more durable then the paper, and once it bends it can ruin the look.
So what are some good (cheap) alternatives to eva foam, that I can pick up locally?

Do you like comparison shopping? Help me settle on a pellet smoker grill.
The snow has melted, the sun has come out, and my wife has developed a carnal urge to smoke meats and wants to get a smoker. We are complete smoker noobs. What is the best smoker for us in terms of results, ease of use, longevity, and cost? Being in a cold climate an insulated one might be of value, but not make or break. We are only cooking for two people, so willing to sacrifice size for performance, build quality, and electronics reliability and longevity.
As I see it, we have 7 candidates at decent price points for us that can be purchased either locally or ordered with free shipping. A cover is a must, so prices include separate purchase of a cover if not included with the grill. What do you guys think is the best value for smoker noobs?

• Pit Boss 700 = $327. This is the leading contender, IMHO, and we can pick it up locally, and it's the least expensive option and gives 700 sq inches of cooking surface. From my research it seems to be fairly popular and people like it enough to bother modding it.
  
• Pit Boss 3 Vertical Pellet Smoker = $390. I figure it comes to about $390 after adding a cover and doing the Menards 11% rebate. (What did the pirate say when he got kicked in the groin? "Meeee-nards!") Winner for compact footprint which is a plus since our deck is not real large and already has a small propane grill. Is a "grill" style smoker better than a vertical? Are there any reasons this would be better or worse than the other options?
  
• Sam's Club Member's Mark = $399. Compact footprint with vertical height giving it square footage. Supposed to be the same as a Coleman pellet grill sold in Canada. It's insulated and seems like a perfect fit except for the tons of complaints I've been reading about it having wonky electronics that give out resulting in ERR codes on the pellet panel. It's still a leading contender, but I'd hate to have a problem.
  
• Camp Chef XT 24 = $440 I estimate about $40 for a generic cover that will fit off of Amazon if I can find the right fit. Includes the amazing patented ash cleaning system! It's on the smaller side with only a tiny 429 sq inch main surface, but I'm guessing it has quality electronics and a pellet feeder that won't ERR out.
  
• Cuisinart Oakmont = $460. Larger and insulated, uncertain about the build quality or reliability. Cost includes separate purchase of a custom cover and gasoline cost for driving 150 miles round trip to pick it up. Cuisinart isn't exactly known for grills which makes me a little skeptical. However, it has all of the bells and whistles, good size, a smokestack design, and two shelves.
  
• Recteq RT-B380 Bullseye = $467. A very highly regarded brand but for some reason Mrs. Whippersnapper doesn't like this one; maybe because of the unconventional shape and looks. Grilling space is on the smaller side.
  
• Broil King Baron 400 on clearance = ~$475. This normally sells for $800+, so I'm very intrigued. Would this be a large step up in quality over the other options in this price range? Does it end up being the best value?
  

Are there any other candidates we should consider in the sub-$500 price range? Cost is a significant factor, so the higher the price the better the build quality, electronics reliability, and longevity need to be.
I kind of have the $327 Pit Boss in the lead based on price. The Sam's Club Member's Mark deal has the bells and whistles (minus Bluetooth) but all of the complaints are scary. I would also strongly consider the Recteq and the Camp Chef, and I'm intrigued by the Broil King. Are the Recteq and Broil King in a different league than the others?
