I have for larger projects also.

Is that storage space conditioned? If not, I wouldn't see the point. But obviously, it won't hurt either.

It was a joke... Yeah, that combustion hazard is scary. I'll do oil stain every now and then (and do keep in mind the combustion hazards). For the last 6-8 years, I've doing dye in denatured alcohol solvent. Spray it and get it dialed in as fine as you like, takes like 2 minutes to dry. Done. I...

Tongue oil: 12 coats, let dry 48 hours between coats. Reapply every 3-4 months.

Try wood filler like Minwax or the Elmer's products. I've also had really good luck with the 5 minute "hot mud" joint compound on wood repairs and drywall repairs, which I learned about a buddy of mine that's been in the tape and bed business since he was a kid with his Dad. It's technically a...

Nice project. A small hole on the horizontal will be fine to drain any condensation. I've never seen that on the verticals. Technically, if it's sealed it won't rust because the oxygen inside will get consumed quickly. I honestly wouldn't even bother with drain holes. Just weld it all up.

Can I use this diezel oil on my 'ol 350 small block Chebby? 🤔

Clever! I like that you can adjust the number of the "pegs" and the spacing... I'm gonna borrow your idea and use it as a heavy duty peg for things like heavy hammers and such. I think it will even work on garden tools on my shed.

Get a real tool for men: an angle grinder! No men should be without one.

24 guage, lol.

Pretty cool! I'm saving this document. I figured there had been designs out there for these trusses, not just a random framer hammering 1/2" plywood gussets to 2x4s, LOL. That documents lists 30 psf for roof live load, so appropriate for snow loading and over the typical 20 psf for roof live...

Get a Festool vacuum and put some twenty-fous?

No clear required, although it will need 2 coats. Something like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-PREMIUM-1-gal-ST-533-Cedar-Naturaltone-Semi-Transparent-Waterproofing-Exterior-Wood-Stain-and-Sealer-553301/202263889...

Sorry to hear that. Here's the technical data sheet for that product. https://cdn.mediavalet.com/usca/ctscement/G4_x-FtPFkmiw_hs5Yeo-Q/_L9RLZZOYEeRb3CqpVGn3g/Original/CEMENT_ALL_Datasheet_DS_024_EN.pdf Follow at the instruction exactly down to mixing water volume, mixing, wetting the concrete...

A repair mortar or cement will be fine, as long as he meets the minimum thickness requirements and follows specific instructions. I've designed numerous repairs to concrete structures and chipping and "scarifying" is specified to get bite into the hardened concrete. In this case this is good...
