Used a grizz 15 inch with helical cutter head for about 8 years 4 and 5 days a week running from 50 board feet to as much as 500 board feet and never gave me any trouble sold it about three years ago when I really retired and guy I sold it to said still going strong.

We use a shredder in the home office and it works great for coolant and water spills use cat litter for oil. I keep a small 20 gallon garbage can of the shredded paper handy.

Nice!

Cleaned an swept the floor (late spring cleaning)

No just the bottom of the frame, (commonly called the window sill) I only tilted it about a 1/4 inch. That gives it just enough that when rain hits and runs down the window it will run off.

25 years ago did a 24 foot wall of glass with double pane freebies (all tempered) in my family room. As stated build a base out of a quality durable wood tilt the bottom so the water will drain off and seal well with silicone. I used silicone both inside and out and held them all in with wood...

I’m 36 foot x 28 foot with three 9 foot doors with 2 foot between doors and I will definitely go 40 or longer on the next one. I thought I’d have plenty of room but no such luck I make it work but we’re getting ready to sell and the next one will be larger.

Kitchen counter tops, bar counter top, mantelpiece, balance beam, re-saw and make a beautiful floor if you have enough.

Yelp openers are up there on the price I’m getting ready to try a regular chain drive on one. My neighbor has them on his and doesn’t seem to have any trouble out of them. He has them mounted on the side running up and down. He made a bracket to attach them to and they work good.

I did not a neighbor down the road a little ways from me has and told me they were not worth the money so I’ve held off. I know that we are going to sell and move again pretty soon so I’m going to let the new owner fight the problem.

The pros (economic) the cons ( dust intrusion, wind whistling in and over the top and around the sides, no good way to seal the door, no strength, etc). I installed three 9ft roll up doors on my shop and IMO it’s the worst mistake I made on the entire build. I know we are only staying here...

Zoeller and Liberty will save you money in the long run, both are hard to beat.

I agree with most that’s been said sand it down feather it tape and feather sand and do a knock down texture and paint.

Saw one that used pressure treated plywood 2 ft wide and hinged in side and outside. The guy let the plywood dry (pressure treated can be wet from the lumber yard) and sanded it down sealed and painted it a different color than the rest of his walls. This was in Louisiana along the Ms River...

I’m not saying I’m right but have installed some where around 90 to 100 thousand squares using a circle saw never had any problems. Cut from the back side and you can do width or length with out a problem. It has never burnt the coatings with the backwards carbide blade but it will burn the...
