I just switched over to ryobi last night actually. My old kobalt 18v lasted me 10 years, but the batteries finally gave up the fight. I went with ryobi because of value and the tool line up is just HUGE!! I stumbled on a good deal on home depots site that's over today. I'd say check it out today...

Looks to me like it could be an old xray viewing screen. I think I remember seeing those in the Dr offices. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Ahh, that makes sense since we used to used letter and number stamps on our steel parts and cast iron castings. We use engravers now. But I'll pass on the info. Thanks to the gjers! What a great community!! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Hey everyone. Happy Thursday! I work in maintenance in a polyurethane fork truck tire and wheel factory, and when I walked back into the maintenance shop and over to my bench, and had this Nash machine tool laying on it. Apparently they cleaned out the desk of a fired engineer, and laid this...

Wow, nice building! I'm in Jasper County here in Iowa, and am planning on hopefully putting up a 30 by 60 this summer that I tore down last summer, I just need to go over what all I salvaged and go from there. Im thinking about doing half with concrete and half cold storage for outdoor...

Man that is nice! What's the name? What's the price? --Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk

My Inspector said I don't need to bend the all thread to a j. I did put nuts on though to grab the concrete, I like the washer idea, I wish I would've thought of that. I used a 2 x 8 for my sill just because that was the width of the block. I built 2x4 walls on top of that. My inspector told me...

I just did the same thing on my garage extension, except I only did a partial stem wall with block. I used regular jbolts on the non block wall & used 1/2" all thread for the block portion. Worked well & my inspector liked it too. I sank the allthread nice & deep into the concrete when I poured...

Done & done. Was going to take pics cuz I really need to update my build thread, but my battery was too dead on my phone. Thanks again guys. :beer: --Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk

Yeah, I put one of the windows in last night, without a header, but I'm taking it out & putting in a header today... Thanks guys. --Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk

] Thats what I was thinking about doing too, and why I was wondering if I needed the king & trimmer studs too. Can I just put in a sill & a cripple for the window, or should I take the king studs out & move them over & put in the trimmers that hold up the sill? Am I making any sense? I already...

So, when I was framing the walls for my garage addition, I framed in window spaces. But, for some reason I didn't think about needing jack studs & king studs with a header and the cripple studs. My studs are 24" OC. I made the window frame studs 30" (29.5" wide). Withy garage walls only being...

I just shingled my garage roof with an 18' addition. My total is 12'W x 38'D. The original garage has 2x4, 2' OC, with no ridge beam. My addition is 2x4 with 2, 18' long 2x4 ridge beams. I didn't know it was supposed to be 2x6's until the inspector told me, but he said its all good. I used...
