Anyone else have issues with power surges or lightning strikes? We got hit recently and lost over $2K in electronics at home and over $125k across two different sites during the same storm. We started investigating methods for added protection at work and I came across many similar options for...

I'm finally to the point where i just need to start liquidating parts I have collected for builds that just aren't going to happen. First up are the Beach cart rims and tires I have been holding for over 2 years. The rims are the nylon type with bushing that are sold by Florida Sailcraft. They...

Pretty sure this will be the Milwaukee deal of the year right here! I had planned to wait another year before upgrading to the M18 but this deal is way too good to pass up...

Found this on my local Craigslist for $1500. Bloomingdale GA is just outside of Savannah. https://savannah.craigslist.org/boa/d/bloomingdale-15ft-cc-hobbie-jet/6875369186.html Seems to be a running unit that could use some TLC. Up for trade of cash offers 15ft Hobbie jet CC 95 sports jet...

Looking for cheap, speed rated trailer tires? Try a set of 155/80R12's instead of the common 4.8x12 size. I just bought a set off Amazon for $78.30 shipped...

We took a drive through the local wildlife refuge today dubbed "Alligator Alley". I was stopped and taking pics of a baby gator with my iphone when a guy pulled up and brought out a Canon T7i with a 600x zoom lens. Now I have serious camera envy! One of my wife's friends has one as well and...

I built this unit to fit my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 6'4" bed but replaced the truck with one that only had a 5'7" bed soon after completion. I modified it to fit on @Totaled 2014 GMC 2500 with a 6'6" bed but he too has now upgraded to a new truck with an 8ft bed and so this unit is back up...

I have been drooling over this item for almost 3 months now but cannot justify the expense. I stumbled across it while looking for an underwater camera system to explore the pond in our backyard and keep tabs on the fish and turtles but it's use would be far more reaching that just that. They...

Check out this depth activated recovery system. Originally designed for drones, this looks like something easily adapted to mount to a ski and serve the same purpose. At under $40, it's worth a test run to see if it activates prematurely...

Does it not deserve it's own thread? Ecobee has a two pack of the Remote Room Sensors on today for half price. That's two sensors for $39.50. (reg $79) https://www.ecobee.com/room-sensors/ I picked up a pair to put in my garage and attic so I can monitor and trend the temps over time.

We were ski-free for 3 months while we got settled into the new house and I was enjoying that the new garage wasn't permeated with the smell of gas fumes like the last one. I always assumed it was the fuel jugs but they have been here all along. We finally brought the skis home last Sunday and...

Not mine, just spotted it on Craigslist. Great ski hauler for somebody if you don't mind feeding it with gas. https://charleston.craigslist.org/rvs/d/2006-sportsmobile-ford-e350/6613417840.html -Single Owner- Regular Body Style -6.8 Liter V-10 Engine with 50,500 miles -Trogan Front and Rear...

It's been a long time coming and still a few days away yet but I am more than ready for this to happen. :) We set this in motion over 4 months ago and will finally close on our brand new house on April 27th. Mama gets a big new house and I get a 10'x19' bay dedicated to all things OCD. :) The...

Years ago I got a bunch of the orange pipe they use for underground services. It was pretty decent material for bunk slides but it was fairly thick and really heavy. Yesterday I stumbled across a source of a similar material only much thinner and a whole lot lighter. Easy to slit down the...

Times are changing and so must I. [emoji4] I've been thinking of doing this for quite some time and the first of the new year seems to make both fiscal and common sense. I’ve pretty much always operated OCD Solutions as a hobby to fund my hobbies but my current job keeps me busy and challenged...

As the title says, I'm looking for the width dimensions of the bed on a 2016 GMC pickup with the 6'5" bed. Need inside width, front and back dimensions as well as the width of the bed rails, front and back. Also, the advertised length is 6'5" but what is the actual length from the front of the...

Anyone use the 1/2" PVC sheets sold at Home Depot for a bench top surface? http://www.homedepot.com/p/1-2-in-x-48-in-x-96-in-White-PVC-Sheet-Panel-190360/205079515 I have been using 5/8" UHMWU sheets on my main bench for years now but it is warping and scared up from almost 2 decades of abuse...

This will be a work in progress that can be added to the tech section once fully fleshed out. I pulled my ADA steering system apart to measure the size of the O-rings for @Big Kahuna and found that my system needed some attention as well. http://adaracing.com/super-jet-sealed-steering-system/...

As some of you may well know, OCD Solutions was formed to fill a need that was not being fulfilled at work. I was bored, uninspired and unchallenged. I also had a ton of spare time to kill and a creative gene that needed to be expressed in one form or another. That has changed! I can honestly...

I just burnt up my Hornady branded 3l Stainless Steel Ultrasonic cleaner and am on the hunt for a new one that will last more than a few seasons. It worked great right up until it melted the power supply but I am hesitant to buy another without doing some more research. They all look alike but...
