    bolting 7HP 60 gallon compressor to floor with radiant heat

    If you can get ahold of an infrared camera you might be able to see the lines and find a suitable place to drill. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Foundation sleeves - what to fill them with?

    Could use the Fernco flexible coupler/reducer between the sleeve and the pipe going through. Use the stainless steel hardware so it doesn't rust. https://www.fernco.com/products/flexible-couplings/pipe-sleeve-seals Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    M12 Cordless Multi-Tool 2426-20

    Re: Milwaukee M12 Cordless Multi-Tool 2426-20 I have the M12 oscillating tool and it performs well. As a previous poster said, keep in mind it isn't a heavy duty rated tool and is good for small jobs. Last night used it to remove an 1/8" x 32" strip of oak on a piece of transition molding and...

    Garage/industrial mudroom

    I have a 52 inch wide x 9 feet tall wall space next to our door into the house from the garage. We always go in through there and need an idea for bench/shoe storage like a typical mudroom.

    storage above garage, did we screw this up?

    You might be able to do a recessed beam like the one in the picture. Will take care of your low clearance issues but will also be a combination of options 1 and 2. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    storage above garage, did we screw this up?

    Thanks for the update. Did they spec out the size of the beam that would go perpendicular to your 2x4s? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Seeking advice issues with contractor

    You mentioned there was a verbal quote and you gave the on but did you get anything in writing? If so, what does their warranty state? I didn't know spray foam could shrink like that. Did some googling and read some interesting stories. One person had it sprayed in the attic onto the...

    Removing carpet staples

    I've used fence pliers for pulling out staples used to hold luan underlayment when taking up old vinyl flooring. It is easy to grip the staple and use the curved section as a lever. One thing I did was add a spring to force the jaws to open up? Really sped up the removal. Sent from my...

    Tiling subfloor advice needed

    It is the total unsupported span of the joist, not the tiled area that has to be taken into account for deflection. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Tiling subfloor advice needed

    The Johnbridge forums are great for tiling. You'll want to double check that your joists can handle the deflection. Look for the Deflecto calculator to see if your 2x8s, 16" oc, and 5 to 6 foot span deflection. If so, you'll want to install at least 1/2 plywood (BC) underlayment but not...
