I am in the same situation with needing a vertical metal band saw. I first started looking at the portabands with a SWAG table. The problem with them is that they all have 0 throat capacity. Due to the offset design of the blade you only get 4 to 6 inches into a cut before your work runs into...

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Been off line for a few days. I wouldn't worry about not having any other vents if you used vented soffit and have the windows you should be fine.

I have learned it doesn't matter where you go, you have to pick out the lumber yourself a stick at a time if you want usable stuff. For may last project, I went to a local lumber yard about 20 miles away. They carried some items that Lowes doesn't so I figured, what the heck I will give them...

Interesting. What do you guys do with 3/4 flooring? Lay it to the outside of the drywall? I am not a builder so I don't know all the ways its done around here. But a 93 inch stud gives you a 97.5 or 1-1/2 over 8ft. 5/8 ceiling drywall + 3/4 flooring is 1-3/8. so you have a 1/8 clearance...

Depending on what material you are going to use for the soffit, you need to make sure and leave enough depth for the rake and fascia boards to cover the material. If it is thin like sheet metal then it doesn't take much, but 3/16 or 1/4 material needs to be accounted for. Also I always like to...

92-5/8??? Really? :dunno: Around here, NC, studs are 93 even.

I am guessing you mean your rake boards on the gable overhang not the fascia right? If you want to split the difference for the visual look, then do it the way Kevin54 has shown you. If you don't care about that then the angles don't matter. You can square off the lower board at 90 degrees...

Thanks guys, Airless it is. I am leaning toward this one: TrueCoat Pro II

Sorry, Definately house. Exterior and Interior. Maybe the occasional fence.

Need to purchase a paint sprayer for small jobs. Graco seems to be what is available in my area. Lowes has both airless and HVLP models. All have on gun paint jars, the HVLPs also have base units to supply the air. Right now I am leaning toward an airless that is rebuildable, the ProShot II...

kert, Just wondering, since you are going through all the work for new 400 amp service why are you sticking with a mast head? Why not go underground? I am also going to upgrade to 400 Amp soon. Here is a diagram of my planned layout.

diggler, I have two questions about the pics in post #10. First, in the outside pic the conduit for your power is the one on the right? Not the one with the open trench. If so, it looks to me like there is a smaller conduit coming out of the LB that is run into a larger conduit without a water...

You are actually looking at the top of the footer. Just past that is virgin clay. You can see some more pics in the build thread. Link is in my sig for the workshop. I have a lot of projection due to a last minute change. The original plan was to have a monolithic pour. So the backhoe man...

So I got a 1/2 x18 masonry bit and drilled a hole for the GEC along side the conduit. It took me longer to get out all the tools and put them back up than it did to actually drill the hole and chase the pull wire. It turned out to be a lot easier than I thought because I was basically drilling...

Here is how I would fix it, pattenp can correct me if this is wrong. I would put a water proof junction box on the outside of the building, in place of the conduit L that is going into the building. Pull your service cable from the panel back down to that point and make a junction with what...
