I need to put a gate here. The 4x4's are not set in concrete so I'm going to dig those out, pour some gravel at the bottom and put in some treated 4x6's in with some quickcrete fast setting mix. I'm planning to build the gate frame with treated 2x4's with half lap joints at the four corners...

I'm not sure. I was thinking of maybe a flat aluminum sheet across the bottom panel instead of the 2 struts? I know flat sheets can still flex, but it's better than nothing... Or maybe some 1x1" aluminum angle?

I'm in central Florida, should have added that. Garage door faces directly south, if that matters. I'd need to take the bottom 2 off for it to make a different. There are 2 struts on the bottom panel.

I just bought a new truck, and it's a tight fit in my garage. By tight, I mean I have probably about 4in of room to work with. My garage door struts are fairly deep, almost 3-4". I have a total of 5 on my door, but there are 2 of them on the bottom panel and those are the ones that are low...

Don't spray inside unless it's new construction and you don't have to mask anything. If you're doing textured walls just use a roller, it's quicker, easier cleanup, no chance of overspray etc. A sprayer will give you the best results on doors and trim as far as finish goes. But there are a few...

I don't know why it wouldn't, my DWS780 has the standard 4-hole rectangular bolt pattern, which the rails on this stand will accommodate.

Interesting - that'd require me to pull a permit though because I'd need to get the power shut off at the meter.

You'll probably get people recommending every brand here with anecdotal advice. I've been using ridgid for years and never had a problem with them. I recently switched over to Dewalt because they starting making some decent battery powered nailers. Brushless vs brushless between the 2 brands - I...

I mean, rockville's are a joke, but OP said he wasn't looking for quality... Speakers are only part of the setup - what do you plan to drive the speakers with?

Does NEC permit the use of wire nuts in a panel? If I wanted to move some circuits from the main panel to a sub panel, can I use wire nuts to extend the length of the wire?

I was afraid the panel was full. How would I feed power into a sub panel from this main panel?

https://imgur.com/a/4HspdkK I'm want to add a 30a 2-pole breaker to my main panel. However, there are no more remaining contacts from the main bus bars even though there seems to be room for a few more. This is a GE panel and the house was built in 1987. Is it possible to add breakers to...

I have a Bosch 1617, it might me a little too much for JUST making rabbets, but it's a great machine.

Huge fan, seen them twice in concert. They put on an amazing show!

Cutting plywood to board up for this storm unfortunately.
