Thank you everybody for your replies. I have called 3 people local to me that makes trusses, and talked to all the big box stores and they have all said I am **** *** out of luck. The first truss co said that it would take 12 weeks at a minimum, the second one said spring at the earliest and...

Okay I double checked my homemade scale, and I think I've got it figured out! Yeah me...........possibly?? LOL...... So I think the rafter (with a 1 OH) comes out to be 8' 5" 3/16. That should give me a rise of about 2' 6", and an angle cut of 18.4°....so I will round it down to 18° just to...

Yes sorry you are correct, the complete systems are called trusses! LOL.. Let me go and look at what you posted.

I looked at getting the Wilson/Weboost for my house as well as a Uniden model last winter, and thought that I would wait for the spring before I bought one. In the meantime I picked up two D-Link range extenders, and am quite surprised at how well they work. I have a problem with my cell phone...

So this has got to be one of the best threads I've followed on any forum in a long time, thanks for posting it. A follow up to "hurl". As a Canadian we use the word "hurl" as in to puke, yak, barf.......well you get the point. I once had a licence plate called Hurl. There is also an Irish...

I'm hoping that somebody on here can help me out with a few rafter questions. First let me say that I tried to hire a company to make them for me, and they agreed, but then came back with a 12 week minimum. So I was given a copy of their plans, but I'm not sure if I am reading them right. My...

The pole barn was something that I was thinking of, but in the end decided to go with more of a "garage" style......although Jives looks good. LOL.... I will definitely have a floor in there, as I don't want the skies of my sled to stick to the ground. I'm pretty sure I have it nailed down to...

Wow that looks like ****! And what's up with the onsite painting?? Was that in the contract too, because if not then I'd say no to that as well. What happens in a few years when it starts to chip off, who's responsible for that? Also the squished in joiner looks like ****, and will likely...

I got everything in this picture here for about $350.00 (including taxes) at Crappy Tire. So long as it finishes even 1 job, then I'm sure I've got my money out of it. Although they do come with a 3 year warranty, so what the heck. The framing gun was $99.00 at Crappy last week The roofing...

If you stripped too much of the outer jacket away, and the metal strain relief is touching any exposed wire, then yes that could be your problem. Are you going out from one fixture into another with a wire lead? If so and the other fixtures work, then just replace that one lead and see what...

Yes I did mean dig it down to the 4" mark and then add in the coarse gravel. I could just as easily go 6" as go 4", it only means a few extra bucks really. Thanks for the reminder on going a but wider than the shed, I was going to do 1' but 2' is just as easy. I will have to box it in though...

Hold it........is the blade actually not a blade, but rather a sprocket to use with a crank handle to help with the pipe bending? Hmmmmmmmm, I love these types of things! LOL....

I was going to say pipe bender, but the blade throws me off??

I'm in the snowbelt region of Ontario, and the shed is to be used to house my snowmobile all year long (double roll up doors though so I can drive right in and out), and the other 2/3rds will be to store one of the ATV's for the winter. It will also hold the lawn tractor and other bits and bobs...

That's awesome Bill, thanks for the detailed reply. Yes I think it all makes sense, and I will have to look into that a bit more. That just made me laugh out loud. Great reply! ^^^ That's exactly what I had in mind.........that is until I got confused. LOL..... The 6x6's and 2x10's make...
