The last driveway gate I built was approx 11ft wide, used 1/4" galvanized "hog wire". Tack welded this to the metal frame. Slapped a couple coats of paint on it and worked great. This hog wire was built out of 1/4 rod welded together in 4"x4" squares, typically you can find it at the local...

I highly recommend the Milwaukee m12 pipe cutter. It works very well, makes pipe cutting a breeze. If you primarily run schedule 40, which I'll never understand running schedule 200, works great. I already have Milwaukee, so it was a no brainer for the bare tool cost. If I remember correctly...

That's why pex A would be the choice with use of expander tool. Sent from my SM-G977U using Tapatalk

Pex A, minimum 3/4". I had 3/4 glav steel, replaced with 1 1/4" pex a and PSI and flow values both went up drastically. Once the inside was switched over completely to pex it was night and day difference. I say Pex A because it's is expandable along with the fittings allow for more flow than...

Update now that this is settled. The contractor had stated they would not do anything further and offered a 5 year warranty on the roof for putting it on differently than what was agreed upon. This didn't sit well with me as I plan to be here 30 plus years. In Oregon we have the ability to...

There is an *** for every seat....and lots of folks like to sit in a big shop or garage....when I sold my last place, the 3 car shop with all the improvements was a huge selling point. You couldn't even find a similar type shop/garage where I was at. We did a full makeover of the house interior...

Install swing assemblies and you will never need that tool again. 2 @ 1/2" thread x barb and 12"-24" of funny pipe(1/2" poly) and you are set, throw on a marlex 90 if you want to get fancy, makes your pipe connection flexible, rather than a rigid schd 80 ******... .02 cents Sent from my...
