I will add: If you are sinking 2" (50mm) screws into wood, a little 1/4" speed chuck impact like that green ryobi is perfect. Every brand will have one so choose your quality/price balance and get one. Impacts are more forgiving about camming out on screws, they don’t jerk your wrist like a drill, and they are not as hard on batteries.

Very nice! Nice combo 😅
My grandma used to prescribe me a pallet of oxy, but she died recently. Can you prescribe me a pallet of oxy so I can remember her?
They are typical as low-point drains and manifold drains, both on the main line (always charged). Don’t just cap it if that would make a dead end, especially if it’s sloped down to drain. I can’t tell very well from the picture, but if it’s on a tee you would be okay putting in a threaded cap.
“king drains” or auto drains are common. A short nipple and either a brass cross-top or pvc ball valve would be better. Just be sure that it is accessible in the end.
5·6 months agoHollow doors have about a 1" frame of solid wood around the perimeter.
If the door frame is not currently falling out of the opening there’s enough meat in the opening to mount a new one. Fondots is right. Re mortising well for the hinges and modifying the door to fit will be more effort than getting a pre-hung.
Picture looks like real wood and not paper, hardie or vinyl. Venat0r has the right idea of taking a sample in to your local yard. A couple possibilities I came across online are https://www.becn.com/products/siding/wood-siding/C-503734 and https://truwoodsiding.com/products/1-2-cedar-shake-lap-siding/ although the online pictures are garbage for them.

This might’ve hurt too.

For driving fasteners impacts are better. For drilling drills are better. Impacts can drive fasteners that would stall a drill, but drilling metal with an impact would make a dog’s dinner of the bit and piece.
edit: the impact engages at a mid-low torque. That is the point. They drive with the impacts, not direct drive. The ryobi will start impacting about a quarter though a 2" deck screw.
