    What is this type of screw called?

    That may be a self-tapping screw, but it's a crappy photo and unlike any Type F self taping screw ever seen or sold as a fastener wholesaler.

    OT: Love or hate floor drains?

    Condensate can usually be drained out through a wall. If you want clean floor, get a floor scrubber like a Tennent or similar. Run properly, the floor will be clean and dry behind the path of the machine, with dirty water vacuumed up and small debris swept into a catch trough.

    OT: Good garden hose, Craftsman RIP

    Why not install a simple trickle irrigation system with emitters and a timer attached to the hose bib or sillcock? Just drain it in the fall.

    Unlikely, the seller's price is unrealistically high. Not enough iron to make a profit for a scrapper.

    Might still be true. All the slabs I see stored in MSI's yard are about 2" thick. https://supernovaintl.com/ Somewhat OT: https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/21/politics/headstone-supply-chain-granite-shortage/index.html

    Granite Surface Plate Cutting

    Very likely to find you local gravestone maker buys his stones pre-cut and shaped already. Better off trying a countertop maker, not reseller. In NJ that would be MSI in Edison. I'm sure there are others.
