    How a 20 minutes jobs turns into 2 hours

    Minimum time for any non-plumbing job at my house is 8 hours, with a mandatory beverage break every 30 minutes. Any job involving plumbing is minimum 24, with a beverage break every 30 minutes, and minimum three trips to the BORG, thus, reserved for holiday weekends. Also, 'plumbing' is...

    The Milwaukee M18 Router

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Mid-Century Moto Mecca Makeover

    Gregor Totally off the current topic, but relevant to a really old topic. Do you have a bar sink near your coffee station, and is the espresso machine plumbed?

    Vanagon > Sprinter, but I can see how it (sprinter) would be more comfortable to live in full time... When can we expect the Roccbox pizza tutorial?

    Dumpsters are awesome. Totally the right tool for this job.

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Mid-Century Moto Mecca Makeover

    Be careful... this approach leads to compulsory festool purchases as the refurbs are often only available for a matter of minutes. I’m sure that MFK700 and Planex will come in handy some day...

    The Desk Setup: Part 2

    Looks great, you may want to stick a temperature probe in the cabinet with all the electronics and monitor it for a couple days, network switches can get pretty hot.

    The Bimmer Basement

    If you hold down the “unlock” button on your wagon key for a couple seconds, the windows don’t roll down already?

    On-line Architect

    Assuming he’s licensed in your state, and able to stamp for submittal to AHJ? Any provision for handling rfi’s from Contractor, or comments from the review process (this feels like a lot to expect for $750) What’s the scope of the project? Any engineering required, if so, how are those...

    Outdoor car cover for quasi-temporary use

    I’m in North TX - the car needs a bit of paint and body work anyway, so I’m not terribly concerned with paint damage - my worry is primarily moisture control. I equally want to keep rain out, and avoid a mildew buildup.

    The Bimmer Basement

    I recently sold my E92 M3 DCT comp at 100k miles, and I really miss it. In a 550 now, which really is just about as fast, but the interior finish isn’t as nice, and it’s not nearly as much fun. I expect to jump back into an m car next year.
