Anyone here have experience with Fein Tools?

What's the latest technology on this? My BIL did a countertop nearly a decade ago and said it was a ton of work. Have there been any new tools to make the job 'easier'? I see there's some using it for polished floors too.

I'd run an underground Cat6 to your new build, along with telephone & tv cable. That's basically what I did and then extended the wifi inside the shop by adding an additional router. While my TV is via satellite, both Shaw & Telus charge extra for additional dishes. So it's cheaper to have the...

The first thing that came to my mind. Easy to build too.

16x31 just might cause me a bit of consternation from the wife. She has this crazy idea that there should be some space left for yard life.

IMO a 3/4 ton pick up fueled & tooled needs a minimum of a 10k lift and preferably a 12k. While current needs may not require a 12k lift, future needs may - why limit it now?

I've been paying the price for lifting these damned things into my pick up without help the last 4 or 5 days. Strained a muscle in my abdomen of all places. No lifting for a week. Yard projects are all on hold. Hope 1/2" plywood isn't too heavy. I need to finish my RAS cabinet.

Got them moved close to where I need them. Thank goodness for left over pipe!

Anyone try it yet? Thoughts?

Wife says holding in top soil. I say sweat!

Just 2 six packs? Seems like I'd be cheaping out!

OMG these things are heavy!

Pipeline flanges. The inspector was being a ****.
