    Building shed on slope

    My 10x16 shed sits on a slope almost identical to what Jeff95TA shows above. I did a 6x6 timber perimeter, about 3-1/2 ft high in the rear with crushed limestone fill compacted every foot. You could park a large vehicle on there without issue although the heaviest thing I have is a ~1000lb...

    HeadLoc construction screws

    They're superior to any lag bolt I've ever used. The structural screw is a much smaller diameter yet with better holding capacity and it drives like butter. Nothing better for hanging shelves, TV mounts, etc. I just used some this weekend for a 1x4 header board to mount a barn door track on...

    Arc fault breakers

    Square D AFCI in all living areas in our 4 year old new construction home. Had exactly one recurring nuisance trip in those 4 years which turned out to be a wire ever so slightly nicked by an exterior trim nail along an eave. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
