I've had a Wolf for over twenty years. German made and the darn thing does a great job. Don't know if the quality has changed, but if they haven't cheapened out, I'd buy it again in a flash.

EGO here too...four years and only one complaint...it sometimes unexpectedly surges forward and I have to drag it back and redo the section. Read it was a common, but uncorrected error with this model. It wouldn't stop me from buying another, more recent model though. Might change my mind if...

If you have the space, and are just working outside, these Gorilla carts with big tires are almost all terrain vehicles, carry bunches of weight, and have stake pockets for customization. I own both kinds and love 'em. Just another possibility to consider. , .

I use something similar to the HF model Aileron mentioned, but by Werner, as a combination bench, low ladder, sawhorse, coffee cupholder. Very portable. That, coupled with a sturdy open top tool tote, similar to this one, meets 95% of my needs.

Cremains Box for my grandson, (16 years old, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)). Walnut and spalted maple with ebony splines and wood hinges. Large compartment loads from the bottom and holds ashes, top section (magnetic latch) holds photos/momentos. , , .

Jewelry box for the missus, in zebrawood, wenge and bloodwood. l, , .

Urn for my sisters big dog. Red gum with spikey burl cap top. , .

Rent a mud mixer. Pick up on Friday and return Monday before noon, cost me $90. Did 60 @80lb bags in three hours, including hauling the bags 100' from the driveway to the build site in a gorilla cart. The only problem I had was inadequate electrical power. My jennie wouldn't start and I had...

Welcome Matt!!

I guess inswing is a bit more secure, since that puts the hinges on the inside, but limits what you can put in the doorway. Outswing would give you more floor space on the inside.

You also might look at Renaissance Wax for a polished item that doesn't get much actual use. Pricey but worth it.

Shout out to Schlage for honoring their warranty. Just replaced 2 consumer locks after 10 years of use, one that had a failure of the plastic cap that the 9 volt battery attaches to and the other that had serious corrosion? issues with the brass finish. Called their help line and spoke with a...

My son-in-law, grandson and I did 59@80# bags in three hours using a beat up rented MudMixer earlier this year to pour 15 piers for a new shed. Had to schlep the bags five at a time on my flat bed Gorilla cart from a pallet in the driveway back to the build site 100' away. There was no way to...

The last time I called Moen for warranty on a bathroom faucet that had corroded they wanted a copy of the contract between me and the home builder plus photo's of the faucet. I can see the damage photo's, but the contract for building the house?? Amazing. No more Moen for us.

That's some pretty strong looking hardware cloth. How deep did you put the barrier? I'm at the same stage with my shed and am thinking of burying 1/4" mesh (galvanized and vinyl coated) because of the carpenter bees.
