    Best workbench surface... opinions?

    I got 2 4'X8" sheets of 1/8 diamond plate, brand new for $100.00 for both, my work bench is 33" X 14' wide, I cut them down and put the unfinished edges toward the wall.

    Price check on contractor???

    Its cheap. I'd check his references and check out other jobs he's done, REMEMBER you get what you pay for. I also wonder the same thing, AND I'll bet that most of those that feel that way also feel THEY are UNDERPAID for what they do.

    Plumbing Rough in - Question

    I believe it has to be 12", not positive though,check the one in the house. If you measure to the bolts just remember they are on the sides of the flange, so split the difference.

    Anyone ever used these?

    I have something similar that Craftsman put out, don't know if they are still available, but I didn't like them, slipped off the bolts one time too many for me.

    Monster Impact Guns

    I have the IR thunder gun, just to check it I snapped the U-bolts on the front springs of my F-350. I was changing the springs anyway and putting on new U-bolts, so I had a few laughs. Killer gun, you have to be careful with it, it WILL snap bolts, it's everything they say it is!! :thumbup:

    HMMMM, well I hate to say it but its almost the same way here, only difference is you need to get a license Once the state has your money you get the license, the thing that bothers me is the state doesn't require any kind of insurance. :shocking: I have a 2 million dollar contractor...

    Well I hate to say it, BUT when he said he was charging by the hour, did you ask how many hours it would take? Charging by the hour is OK, BUT there needs to be a time table.
